EVERYONE'S A CRITIC. Or at least they are once they've been trapped on an overseas flight with Direct TV.

"On Virgin Atlantic, none of the passengers would notice the hijacking. We'd all be sitting there paralyzed and transfixed by the screen. There's something very Brave New World about walking back to the bathroom and looking out over a copse of people sitting bolt upright in their little stations, dull-eyed, slack-jawed, and bathed in a blue glow."

Five quickie movie reviews follow, including

"Gothika: I've been to a woman's prison. And I guarantee there's no prison shrink that looks like Halle Berry, and no inmates that look like Penelope Cruz. File these casting choices with Denise Richards as "Christmas Jones," nuclear physicist."

So peep Cousin Gene, before he gets back to talking about proletarian revolution and the doctrinally correct trajectory of Telemachus' sneeze and all that.
