...country of crushing, monolithic corporations--of McDonald's, Wal-Mart and companies such as Aramark, Cendant and Sysco that are so powerful we don't even know what they do. We crush foreign dictators for looking at us funny. We are geniuses at supersizing the good stuff and McRibbing the losers. Underdogs are for Canadians...

...HAVE COMPARED GEORGE BUSH'S POLICIES WITH THOSE YOU EXPERIENCED LIVING UNDER NAZI AND SOVIET TOTALITARIANISM. THAT'S PRETTY TOUGH STUFF. WHAT DID YOU MEAN? I did not call Bush a Nazi, and I wouldn't call him a Nazi, because I know the difference between an open society and a totalitarian regime. However, when he says that those who don't support him are supporting the terrorists, I am reminded of Nazi Germany and communist Soviet Union. The Bush Administration has been able to brand those who oppose their policies as unpatriotic, and that endangers the very essence...

...artistry. The film, photographed by Caleb Deschanel (The Black Stallion, The Right Stuff, Gibson's The Patriot), is an attractive clash of eerie blues in the outdoor night scenes, burnished umbers in the trial scenes and blistering whites and yellows on the road to Calvary. The cast, led by James Caviezel as a gaunt, haunted Jesus, is well chosen and smartly directed. The screenplay, by Gibson and Benedict Fitzgerald, begins starkly in the Garden of Olives--no loaves and fishes, no wedding feast at Cana--but adds nonbiblical flashbacks to Jesus' idyllic childhood with his beloved mother Mary (powerfully embodied...

What is the audience for this Passion? Many Christians--who would appreciate the message--may be repelled by the film's unrelenting bloodletting. The teen boys who make box-office winners every Friday night may like the blood, but they want their heroes to fight back and blow stuff up. Nor is this exactly a date movie. No, the audience profile for The Passion of the Christ is fairly narrow: true believers with cast-iron stomachs; people who can stand to be grossed out as they are edified. And a few movie critics who can't help admiring...

Good Bye, Lenin!, a huge hit in Germany and across Europe, may sound like sitcom stuff, a wacky mistaken-identity plot inflated to national dimensions. In fact, as handled with expert tenderness by director and co-writer Wolfgang Becker, the trope works splendidly as both political metaphor and love story. If some Iraqis can look back with a twisted longing on the more orderly days of Saddam's rule, why can't East Germans get a little misty over the Honecker regime? As they do. It's called Ostalgie, or Eastalgia. The film taps the universal suspicion that whatever...
