Pearl Harbor, thurs and mon. to wed. 20:00, fri. and sat. 18:15 and 21:45, sun. 15:00 and 21:00; Bush W. is in the House, so let those all-American warrior hero types out of the closet, where they’ve been growing stale ever since Ronnie Reagan’s Top Gun. Here, Hollywood’s up to its old tricks again, bankrupt of ideas so rehashing this tired old tale and not letting historical truth get in the way of a good, sentimental, romantic tale, starring Ben Afleck, the handsome devil. But, at least, Hollywood let the Japanese win, which is reason enough to see it.

Not satire, as claimed, but ‘flatire’, a new genre cynically celebrating the shallowness it is supposedly satirizing.
