~ ‘a.i.’ will go down a lot easier for the kubrick fans who realize that he has been long forgotten as far as this film goes; it is well worth at least a matinée price, if one remembers that kids, though absurd, are choice evidence of our shared hopelessness. it’s the beginning of a year of movies sure to inspire regret for being stuck in the weak and powerless new york city theaters: ‘planet of the apes’, ‘final fantasy’, ‘lord of the rings’, and, of course, ‘spider-man’.

~ also: john carpenter + ice cube = ‘ghosts of mars’. bass.
