...That's not a thought movies especially like to entertain. And its not one we expect to hear from Paul Verhoeven, who was drummed out of Hollywood for committing the town's only unforgivable sin: making controversial, high profile movies whose box office performances were not worth their trouble. In such circumstances it's simple to read Black Book as a possibly desperate attempt at a comeback, a retreat to his native land and to the sort of material with which he first established his international reputation, Soldier of Orange, his 1977 resistance drama of a much more conventional kind...

"As a discipline we've been lost because we've been conflating...
...Solms, who believes science is getting closer to answering the key questions about dreaming, is leading two studies at the University of Cape Town with that goal in mind. One involves using functional magnetic resonance imaging to try to disentangle the REM brain from the dreaming brain.

"If we can image what's going on at that point, then we'll get a clear handle on what mechanisms are important for dreaming as opposed to REM sleep," says Solms, who predicts...
