...Campaign has the right message. Global warming won't be solved through small-scale changes in personal behavior - all the compact fluorescent lightbulbs in the world wouldn't slow down warming a single degree. What's needed is political action on a national and international level to speed the adoption of renewable energy and the phasing out of fossil fuels - exactly what the We ads, with their flowing wind turbines, are preaching. "The solutions are out there now," says Zoi. "All of this stuff is ready to take off. What we need is the policy to unleash the potential...
...Among the summer's high-profile flops was the Wachowski brothers' Speed Racer ($43.9 million), which couldn't surmount a demographic challenge - it was a kids' movie based on a 1960s cartoon no kid can remember.

He praised Hawks especially "because he shows a maximum speed, inner life, and view, with the least amount of flat foot." Manny's celebration of action directors took a while to kick in - it had to be doubled or seconded by Cahiers du Cinema critics in France, and Andrew Sarris and Pauline Kael here - but to the next generation...
