“28 Days Later”
Andrew O'Hehir
This apocalypse flick from director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland offers astonishing images of Britain devastated by plague-ridden zombies. But it lacks the maniacal airlessness of the "Living Dead" series it rips off.
John Derbyshire’s poisonous paranoia about gays

The beard, the breasts and the bulge
Whitney Joiner
Kingdom Come, a touring troupe of five of America's most famous drag kings -- complete with strap-ons, leather and one hell of an homage to George Michael -- are taking their act down South.
Harry Potter, teen rebel
Laura Miller
No, Hogwarts isn't a hotbed of drugs, smoking and sex (at least not yet). But J.K. Rowling's rich and huge new installment unmistakably brings our bespectacled hero into adolescence.
“The Hulk”
Charles Taylor
Are comic books art? Maybe, but this leaden, pretentious flick about Marvel Comics' big green id, from the overrated Ang Lee, is just schlock art for the NPR set.
France vs. America: The sex front
Debra Ollivier
A cross-cultural study finds that Americans go more for one-night stands, the French favor long-term affairs -- and French women over 50 have a lot more sex.

How the left lost teen spirit
Andrew O'Hehir
Bill Clinton won the youth vote. Al Gore split it with George Bush. Will Democrats realize they must embrace pop culture, not demonize it, to win
back the White House?
