...quite annoyingly, associated with new stylings of cinema. It didn’t have violent deaths or envelope-pushing sex scenes which seem to be the staple of “daring” American cinema, but rather Spielberg took a huge risk by looking ridiculous in his quest for a sublime resolution. His A.I., which was co-developed by Stanley Kubrick, is a tightly-driven, beautiful examination of man’s responsibility toward their machines, and subsequently said more about human nature than any film since Spielberg’s own Schindler’s List...

As we quietly chugged through the network of canals in Poon's canopied, motorized canoe, he watched for the itinerant vendors who sell coffee and other necessities to residents who live...
