...picture reaches its end, it appears that the filmmakers have to explain who is actually behind all of those terrible deaths. I won’t spoil the inevitable “twist ending” that has been used to sell the movie, but let’s just say that causal relationships go out the window, where they will certainly find the company of reason and Dakota Fanning’s dignity. Ultimately, “THE PART OF THE MOVIE THAT COMES AFTER EVERYTHING ELSE” proves to be just as vacuous and phony...
...elbows, head--he uses them all in his full-body barrage--with a sleek intensity and jaw-swiveling impact unique in movie martial arts. He also knows how to take a fall. In one match, he gets on the wrong end of a killer kick and executes a triple twist before hitting the canvas, as if Greg Louganis were doing a gold-medal dive from a curb into a puddle.

My only problem with it: these very reasonable, judicious folks from the State Department and the CIA are the same breed - sometimes the same people - who helped bungle U.S. policy in Bosnia, Kosovo, Rwanda and a few other hot spots...
...most interesting and intellectual thing I can do. I will walk around thinking about certain ideas and things I’ve been learning for weeks before I decide that I have a story. My classes expose me to more and more ideas that will eventually twist themselves around so much that I think I have something to write about; and once I start to write, it’s easy for my problem sets or a response paper to be overlooked...
