With the fires of L.A. and of Detroit's 1967 riots still burning in their memories, Detroit officials reacted swiftly, suspending seven officers, some of whom a county prosecutor says will face criminal charges. So far, the beating has inspired not rage but reflection and muted anger. On Tuesday some 300 people attended a prayer vigil, and on Thursday more than 1,500 came to Green's funeral...
...movie's first minutes promise the fire this time. A Patton-size U.S. flag fills the screen and is set ablaze. Video clips of Los Angeles cops pummeling a helpless Rodney King are underlaid with the words of Malcolm X fulminating against the white devil. Flames of black rage gnaw at the fabric of the flag until it is burned into a huge X. America, the image says, created Malcolm X in a centuries-old crucible of race hatred.

When his wife, Elisabetha, hears a false report of his death, she commits suicide, and the Church pronounces her soul damned. In a fit of rage and sorrow, the prince vows to join her in damnation and becomes a vampire. Essentially, the torture of his vampirism derives not from the forfeit of his soul but rather the pain of lost romance. Doomed to an endlessly lonely and tragic existence, he just wants to be loved--is that...
