In this Mensa-smart fantasy epic, the year is 2054, but it might be 2002, with the government rounding up citizens before they can commit a crime. Instead of an Arab-American, the suspect here is Tom Cruise, who also happens to be the town's top mind-cop. Spielberg, jazzed by the plot-and-picture opportunities in opening up and updating Philip K. Dick's 1955 story, creates a gorgeous-grotty amalgam of the retro future. He also is faithful to the vision of a great SF writer, while entertaining the millions of ordinary moviegoers who don't know Dick.
Epic times call for epic art, and nothing moved us more than The Return of the King. Other things we loved: Louis Vuitton, William Boyd and BBC's The Office And to the Atlanta group OutKast, we say "Stank you very much!"
