The large number of people responsible for creating the wondrous digital world in which Alice finds herself deserve medals for the marvellous spectacle that they have created in this film. Geeks, in this case at least, really do rule.

The old testament God (Jehovah, Yaweh, or whatever you wish to call him), was a psychopath. It was he who authorized the killing of the first-born in Egypt, turned Lot’s wife into a pillar of salt, and inflicted boils upon Job so that he might suffer horribly. Sometimes he would take an active role in his crimes against humanity, but most often God sent Angels to commit the atrocities.

In 1993 Hollywood produced the movie Philadelphia. It was a film about Andrew Beckett (Tom Hanks), a gay lawyer at a prestigious law firm, who was wrongfully dismissed because he has AIDS. The story follows his journey and that of his homophobic lawyer (Denzel Washington) as they struggle against Beckett’s former employers for compensation. The movie was generally considered excellent. In my opinion, however, it had several flaws. Philadelphia was a movie about gays that had almost no gay content.
