Movie: Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence
A.I. is the creative collaboration of two cinematic masters. Stanley Kubrick wrestled with its development for eight years, finally turning the reins over to Steven Spielberg to realize his dream when it was obvious that he could not. Kubrick’s movies are easily identifiable, and this one is no exception. However, it is arguably Spielberg’s … -

Downtempo music is at an interesting crossroad here in the summer of 2001.

Ever since the previously … -
