Nor are Aachi and Ssipak standard comic figures like Archie and Jughead; they're more Itchy and Scratchy - excuses for sadistic, sumptuously choreographed mayhem. The best movies may create story and characters that involve, ennoble or devastate the viewer; but not every movie has to. This one is not humane; it may not even be human.

Milan recognizes the camera, wirelessly sucks out your photos and displays them on the tabletop in a stack. Anybody sitting around the table can then pass the photos around and even stretch and shrink them, iPhone-style. Or imagine the Milan as a restaurant table: diners sort through a tabletop menu, dragging and dropping appetizers and entrées, swapping their choices back and forth as they plan their respective meals...
