âSo lacking in originality that if you stripped away its inspirations there would be precious little left,â declared the LA Times. âAn unsophisticated sci-fi drama that takes itself all too seriously,â agreed Variety.

To dismiss Equilibrium as unoriginal, self-serious or stupid is to overlook a deceptively rich text made with the skimpiest of budgets. It may borrow wholesale from some dystopian golden oldies â Libria is a boilerplate Big Brother surveillance state with heavy Fahrenheit 451 overtones â but it still brings something to the party that Orwell and Bradbury do not: the mesmerising martial art of âgun kataâ.

AMES, Iowa Over the past thirty years, artist John Preston has watched Iowa s landscape change from his own backyard. Around me, there used to be other people. And those houses and stuff have gone away, and they ve been knocked down, Preston said.
From his point of view, much of the reason why has been the state s evolving agriculture industry. It s just scale of it huge. It s different, he said.
