...diff between this movie and the Hollywood product it either parodies (the cop-buddy action pics) or resembles (the current wave of Stiller-Ferrell-Vaughn-Wilson-Wilson slob-buddy comedies) is that Wright is an actual filmmaker. His acute sense of visual wit, rich but not assaultive, puts me in mind of Buster Keaton's classic silent farces. To Wright, the movie screen offers a smorgasbord of small, savory gags to be sampled by the attentive viewer; it's not a grapefruit pushed in your face...
...arbitrary nature of the photos contributes to the exhibition’s magnetic quality. Adjaye photographs what interests him and what catches his eye in his limited time in each city, something wholly interesting in itself. They are at once very personal in the story they tell of visual exploration, yet these stories arrive in the context of sprawling cities with extensive histories. Adjaye is honest about the project’s limitations, though he seemingly surpasses them. The exhibition has no pretensions to art or science. However, like both art and science, it nobly attempts to make sense...
...says Hays. “There are alternative narratives and stories to be told about the objects, things that the museum doesn’t say.” Surprisingly, many of the students who contributed to the podcast were not history of art and architecture or visual and environmental studies concentrators. Rather, the approximately twenty undergraduates who participated range in concentration from Near Eastern languages and civilizations to biology.

Typically they're like John Campea, 35, of Toronto, who founded The Movie Blog as a hobby in 2003 while working at a visual-effects company, or Josh Tyler, 30, a design engineer from Dallas who has built an audience of 1 million for his site Cinemablend by being one of the more cleverly critical fanboys. (Of this summer's Bratz, he posted, "It's kind of like Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants if the pants were a miniskirt worn without undergarments.") Or they're like Berge Garabedian, 33, of Montreal, who put his M.B.A. toward founding JoBlo.com after...
...know Infante as a legend or a loving memory -though it's available at amazon.com and, I'm assured, at Blockbuster and other large stores. Those of us who are linguistically impaired can get English subtitles for the movies; but the extras are in Spanish only. Also, the movies' visual quality ranges from mediocre to muddy. I've seen TV prints of Mexican films from the same period, like Fernández; La Perla and Maria Candelaria, and they gleam. But Las Islas Marias, the Infante-Fernández collaboration in the new collection (and shot, like the other...
