It’s a criticism double-shot.
“This Planet is Not Yours to Rule” – n+1’s latest buckshot blast of capsule movie reviews by A.S. Hamrah. >>This second Transformers film is garbage, a big pile of useless scrap and refuse in every way, but there are shots in it of plastic beauty which use Megan Fox’s stress-tested porno face like an element in a James Rosenquist painting of car parts and spaghetti. But so what? James Rosenquist paintings already exist. <<
“In the Theater of Isak Dinesen” – by Joanna Scott at The Nation. >>Confession doesn’t leave much room for imagination except to demand its allegiance to the personal, which may leave readers less inclined to find value in the extravagant lies of fiction. It’s understandable, then, but no less disappointing, that the tales of Isak Dinesen–filled with children who dream too much, fat old nobles who are devoted to revenge, nuns who are good at weaving, servants who are good at cooking–would be easy to overlook.<<
Thanks for that. I’m writing a research paper on one of Dinesen’s Seven Gothic Tales right now.
