To Luxe,
Can`t be better. Just came back from a nationwide trip to the States. I went about 10 schools in the top list. Gee, HBS is inundated with genius like you, and I won`t waste my application fee for a school that I will not fit in. Hey hey, kinda a loser`s tone.
Talking about depth, I bought a thin book "inventing a nation", which is filled with history anecdotes of the founders of the United States and with some satirical comments. While I don`t know about you, this book is quite interesting and inspiring for me, a layman to the US history. Here is the link in case you wanna know more:

Regarding the critic`s comment you quoted, it is really mean, yet true. An anti-Cage, I think I have no choice but rate the movie 2 starts now. But anyway, I am the type that would whistle for "Charle`s Angels", regardless of its stars, if it has ANY.
Cheers for Hollywood, the ultimate factory of stupid entertainment. I just LOVE it.
