Specials: Allende & Walden; Slamming "End of the Spear"

Tuesday specials:

The New York Times looks at Walden Media's Isabel Allende project.

The Village Voice seeks to impale End of the Spear, the new film based on the famous and true missionary story Through Gates of Splendor.

...its Davey and Goliath dogmatism comes through as loud and clear as the sinister subtext behind its message of nonviolence—that the world's nonwhite, "undeveloped" cultures continue to require prophylactic doses of Yank benevolence in order to survive and thrive.

Yikes!
