...measure, a renaissance in manufacturing is long overdue. Traditional powder presses are not the only low-tech way parts have been built over the years; stamping machines, casting machines and forging machines are used to melt or muscle metal into shape.

A start-up company that wants to manufacture parts for a new product may have to wait two years for a press to be built and delivered. Not exactly the quick turnaround time we've come to expect in the age of silicon...
...pinstripes have given way to piercings and a sex-god image, and the songs have likewise improved since the days of such musical mistakes as "Stand By My Woman" and "Mr. Cab Driver."

...invites us to join Jennifer Lopez's sexy scientist as she journeys into the nightmarish psyche of Vincent D'Onofrio's twisted serial killer, but the invitation is just as much Tarsem's, as he bids us to enter a world in which the confines of narrative structure simply melt away. The problem with this visually arresting picture however, is that its disturbing aesthetic too often overwhelms Mark Protosevich's underwritten screenplay, which is really nothing more than a pedestrian serial killer thriller at heart. Yet so much of Tarsem's imagery - such as the first haunting glimpses of Lopez...
