Forget Clark Kent, Zach Braff is Superman. It is quite ambitious to attempt a project like his "Garden State" -
If I was in charge of creating a headline for this inaugural installment of my Cavalier Daily column devoted to all things literary, I would have titled it, "Lost in the Funhouse."

Tobey Maguire returns as Peter Parker and Spider-Man, and Kirsten Dunst reprises her role as Mary-Jane Watson.

Documenting the inner workings of Arab news network al Jazeera during the war with Iraq, "Control Room" provides a reverse shot of the American media's presentation of our recent military actions in the Middle East.
