...cursory reading of ancient poetry can accomplish what a headache inducing romp through Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault and Judith Butler cannot; an appreciation of the wonderful cornucopia of sexual relations from time immemorial and how sexuality was (and is) linked with spirituality, nature, power, and politics...

...there's a big meeting of the country's major Mafia families in two weeks, and he can't afford to appear weak. He needs a quick cure. Ben takes the case-how can he say no to the man with the hired guns? and thus begins a wild romp that shifts rapidly between the genres of "parodistic mobster movie" and "canned Freudian soup...

Preface to Abstract Thoughts P>The 151st installment of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals, I Get No Kick from Campaign, is, ironically enough, a kick. Not only that, it's all about kicking: kicking back and enjoying, cancan kicking and kickboxing.

...love Maria Bello, but the whole relationship is unconvincing, the hood and the hooker sitting in a tree... The whole scenario is a waste of screen time that could be put to better use by Lucy Liu, legal eagle by prime time, dial-a-dominatrix in this celluloid romp. She deliciously performs her duties on Porter's ex-partner and is even called upon to give Porter some gun-totin' lovin. As Pearl, she is Gibson's true foil in this movie, she likes to inflict pain as much as he likes to take it. Suffice...
