If you've seen the movie, you might enjoy reading Lileks fisk (that is, brutally rebutt) Harry Knowles' review of "The Matrix Redundant" (or whatever it's really called)
Mr. Knowles is often held up as an example of New Media, one of those outsiders who've wrested the mike from the old tired media. Usually I support that sort of thing, but if ever there was an argument for restricting the role of Critic to the white-gloved aesthetes, the Lucius Beebes, the Jay Shermans, the guys who, y'know, have done it, with a laidy, nudge nudge, it's Harry Knowles. His review of Matrix 3 proves that if you can't say something coherent, just say it in purple-tinted boldface 20-point Arial
