...this point our assumption expert proceeds to discuss anything which strikes his fancy at the moment. If he can sneak the first assumption post the grader, then the rest is clear sailing. If he fails, he still gets a fair amount of credit for his irrelevant but fact-filled discussion of scientific progress in the 18th century.

Heart and Souls could itself be a low sort of triumph. At a sneak preview the audience cheered when one spirit got his star-spangled wish, and they applauded at the end. The house was so streaked with humid tears it nearly had to be hosed down. But this movie is a bad cry, for calculation steams off it like skunk musk.

Last Action Hero, the Arnold Schwarzenegger adventure opening this week, has spurred doomsday rumors because of its ballistic budget (estimates run up to $120 million), a reputedly disastrous sneak preview last month, and the subsequent three-day shooting of a new sequence...
