...minstrel show that reveals nothing and diminishes everyone. The white father is so thick-headed that he thinks the only way to prove racism exists is for someone to come up and yell, ?Hey, Nigger,? while he?s in black make-up. The black father is so paranoid that he sees racism in every little twitch and movement made by whites. Characters attempt to get the black experience by playing dominos and doing spoken word, while their counterparts seek the white experience in knitting and charm school...
Although the film's director is Oliver Stone, this is no paranoid panorama on the order of JFK. It's a boy-down-a-well saga with, insists first-time screenwriter Andrea Berloff, "no politics. This is a small story. We're in the hole with these two guys for practically the whole movie." With the digging out comes the uplift.

...year-round norm rather than a Lent exception. Vegetarian, vegan, low-fat, non-fat, low-carb, zero trans-fats… you name it, Whole Foods has it.

Therefore, one of the pillars of fasting has been destroyed: whereas giving up meat, milk, or food in general might have once been a highway...
...Billboard chart. In the past year we have spent more words on art-house one-time band-of-the-moment Lightning Bolt than on double platinum success Carrie Underwood. What explains this? The snobbery of music writers? The difficulty in getting promo copies of albums from piracy-paranoid major labels? The desire to inform our readership about new and artistically interesting music? Whatever the case, we don’t write much on what’s on the radio. To reverse this elitist trend, and to keep with the theme of the issue, below are three belated reviews...
