are new modern foe of philosophy, if any foe exist
at all. The mythic poe...

Dead man leading To the Last City by Colin Thubron
168 pp Chat 163; 14. 99 Unlike his coeval among
travel writers, Paul Theroux, Colin Thubron has
never had the acclaim for his fiction that he
deserves. To point it out bluntly like this
reinforces the impression of inexplicable failure,
but I am constantly astonished when admirers of
his melancholy, passionate travel books express

at all. They should check out at least, among his

Lady Macbeth Roman Polanski
800 words
Critique of Roman Polanski's Macbeth Roman
Polanski's version of Macbeth, in my opinion,
lived up to the Shakespeare's play. Although there
were many minor changes in the play the plot
stayed the same. One commendable change on
Polanski's part was the way he sensationalized the
violence. There werent that many violent scenes
but those few very extremely violent. I had
thought myself to be completely desensitized to
violence until I watched this movie. One of the
first major changes was the battl...
