...offer up "your son, your only one, whom you love, your Isaac" as a human sacrifice. With an obedience that has troubled modern thinkers from Kierkegaard ("Though Abraham arouses my admiration, he at the same time appalls me") to Bob Dylan ("Abe says, 'Where do you want this killin' done?' God says, 'Out on Highway 61'")--but which seems transcendentally right to traditionalists--the father commences to comply on a mountain called Moriah. Only at the last instant does God stay the father's hand and renew his pledge regarding Abraham's descendants...

As D'Artagnan, for instance, Chris O'Donnell (who looks absolutely idiotic with long curly hair) introduces himself as "Dartaynian," and is constantly awing us with his eloquence--behold lines such as "my rear is killin' me."

...career, and by outward appearances happily married to actress Lisa Hartman (Knots Landing), Black has become even more introspective about the best things in life -- including love and residency in Texas. The heartland heartthrob's first album, released in 1989 when he was younger and single, was titled Killin' Time; now 31, less single and a lot wiser, Black finds life more precious; No Time to Kill is the title of his new CD and its best song...

...just male vanity, and women can be mutilated for mocking it. The idea of straight shooting as an earnest of heroism -- that's bunk too; it was mostly drunks killing drunks. Unforgiven even gets you musing about death in the movies. "It's a hell of a thing, killin' a man," Will tells a young hombre (Jaimz Woolvett). "You take away all he's got, and all he's ever gonna." The punk says, "I guess he had it comin'," and Will replies, "We all have it comin...
