...indescribable atrocities committed upon Jesus’ increasingly carcass-like body in the initial torture scene are heartbreaking, until the recurring image of the elated torturers flaying mercilessly achieves a somewhat tedious tone. The march in which Jesus bears the cross to the point of his crucifixion is similarly excruciating, but he has one too many dramatic falls for the experience to have a fully realized impact. The wounds that the film inflicts on his audience are rarely left fresh, but exposed for so long that they are allowed to scab over...

...genome and found the two viruses to be nearly identical. The World Health Organization points out that the results don't definitively prove that civets or other animals gave humans SARS. But theoretically, a civet bite or sneeze could infect its owner?so could the handling of a butchered carcass.

One of the few leftists to park his ample carcass atop the non-fiction best seller list for months on end, Moore was spoiling for this fight.
