...onscreen clumsiness is far from Brown's only problem. The expense claims rumpus couldn't have come at a worse time for the Prime Minister. The country's economy - Brown's ticket into Downing Street two years ago after a largely successful decade as finance minister - has slid into reverse. Success confronting problems on the global stage, most recently at April's productive G-20 summit in London, has sharpened criticism that he's lacking an agenda at home. (When an e-mail discussing smears against senior Conservatives, written by one of Brown's close aides, surfaced days after...
...along with seven other modern thinks, including University of Chicago professor Martha Nussbaum, “Empire” author Michael Hardt, and feminist post-structuralist Judith Butler. Despite her experience, Taylor reveals her anxieties about making philosophical film in a conversation with NYU professor Avital Ronell, the first onscreen thinker after “Matrix Revolutions” celebrity-philosopher Cornel West.Philosophical thinking has traditionally taken place in the written form, which gives both its deliverer and its audience enough time to explore ideas in-depth and parse out the details of the arguments.

A few DSi-specific games can be wirelessly downloaded from an online store, but they were mostly disappointing. For example, WarioWare: Snapped! has you move in response to onscreen cues, but the motion-detecting game required a very well-lit room and still behaved erratically. Nintendo will add more games over time, and motion detection could someday make the DSi as innovative and cool as the Wii. I just hope none of the games involve twisting paper napkins...
...film has three major movements: scenes of the prisoners’ daily lives in the Maze, a long conversation between Sands and a priest, and the slow deterioration of Sands’ body. Within these three parts, the simplicity of the plot gains striking power from the horrifying images onscreen. Without warning, McQueen immediately throws the viewer into the depths of the prisoner’s “no wash” protest, portraying unwashed, unshaven men smearing their excrement on the walls of their cells. Lengthy, uneventful scenes evoke the empty hours the prisoners experience in jail?...
