STEPHEN S ON STEVEN S: My Minority Report on "Minority Report" (I wonder if Christopher Hitchens liked it) is online at Hollywood Ticket. While I love Spielberg as much anyone, and I take "film buffs who hate Spielberg" about as seriously as I do "Jews for Jesus," I must report that contrary to what most critics are saying, "Minority Report" just plain sucks. For another view, check out Spielberg sycophant Armond White in New York Press. An ardent defender of "A.I.", White also gives high marks to the new film. After all, Spielberg is his second favorite modern-day director, behind (no, I'm not kidding) Brian DePalma.
