...paint a picture of an America that’s ready to crumble.More of the same on “Gasoline,” where Crow, narrating a future oil shortage, takes a swing at “Those bastards up in Washington / Afraid of popping that greed vein.” She also draws our attention to the problem of climate change—the year is 2017 and, with the “sun… growing hotter,” London is suffering “sweltering heat.” There’s no question...
...play a standard-issue wise child, the kind of kid moviemakers think charming and audiences often feel like placing under a gag order. It's possible, I think, that Brooks - who wrote Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason- may have wanted to do something in a slightly more serious vein.

Hollywood can now go back to not putting its political conscience on screen, secure in the knowledge that neither the audience nor the critics care...
...insane.” Unfortunately, this type of work is in the job description for journalists. And no presidential candidate was drafted into the race, even if some supporters use the word to let their candidate show his charming reluctance to seek power. There’s a vein of criticism that pities the poor American people, with their short attention spans, who will surely be worn down by the negativity and relentlessness of this cruel, cruel race. But the numbers tell a different story. It was 18 months from the first candidacy announcement to the 2000 election...
