...struggle with her demons both emotional and literal. The main character, Michelle, played by Kimberly Elise, is raped by her mother’s boyfriend at the age of 12, and cannot reconcile her painful past with her spiritual quest for God. She faces this conflict after her first stint in jail—she was arrested for either drug abuse, prostitution or all of the above: the incoherent script never clarifies and, honestly, no audience could really care less about these particulars.

Into the final weeks of the campaign, whether it was Peter Costello announcing a GST windfall to state governments, advertisements depicting Latham as an "L-plate" financial manager who had left disaster in his wake after a 1990s stint as mayor of Sydney's Liverpool council, or Labor's timetable for submitting its policies for Treasury costing, economic stability was the government's mantra. At its campaign launch in Brisbane's stately City Hall on Sept. 26, before a crowd waving Australian flags, Howard unveiled a childcare rebate...

After a stint on the Manhattan Project during World War II, he turned his attention from physics to biology. With his colleague Rosalind Franklin at King's College in London, he came up with a clear X-ray image of DNA. Within weeks of receiving the photograph, James Watson and Francis Crick built...
...problem is the underestimation of audiences. Hollywood may be liberal, but only in the most politically correct sense. It is a reactionary industry, and besides a brief stint in the early ’70s (which was economically motivated), it has never been politically progressive beyond the most agreeable of causes. Some may think that having such an obvious allegory like Lenny in a mainstream children’s film is a step forward. But it’s really nothing new. A real step forward would be directly showing kids that queers aren’t all sex-crazed...
