This week�s recommended film release:

AI: Artificial Intelligence

A marvel of political engineering, rough prototype �Dubya� (Haley Joel Osama-nt) is an accurate but vaguely sinister substitute for an actual person. Although apparently real in every way, basic emotions and social skills elude him and he can often be heard mindlessly repeating meaningless phrases (�Make no mistake��) He sets off on an adventure to find the folks that made him, accompanied by the good looking Gigolo Blair (Jihad Law), who does all kinds of unsavoury favours for money. His only chance is the stubborn self-delusion that by finding the mythical character of The Blue Pharaoh (Bin Laden) he will become loved despite his inhumanity. Some stunning visual footage of apocalyptic New York, though Dubya takes a long time to actually get there. Direction and screenplay: Meaningless Spiel.
