...inspiration for Obama’s response to our current economic troubles will have to be saved for another occasion. Smith’s other book, “The Theory of Moral Sentiments,” has had a more obvious effect on the president’s worldview...
Overall, I think, the animation only distracts us from Karl’s surreal, systematically incorrect worldview. The comedy of the podcasts is minimalist and mean-spirited; Pilkington requires neither bells nor whistles. Regardless, TV’s “The Ricky Gervais Show” has been renewed for a second season—and despite its issues, I’m delighted.

But we should hail a movie that recalls creepy political thrillers of the mid-'70s, back when some films were made for grownups and the comfortable catharsis of a happy ending was not required - think of the panoramically cryptic worldview of The Parallax View and Three Days of the Condor, and of course, Chinatown. In its cataloguing and deft evocation of those films, and the director's entire body of work, The Ghost Writer may not be major Polanski, but it sure is essential Polanski...
