06/20/2003 Archived Entry: "Adam Felber's Summer Movie Guide"

Adam Felber has a guide to the summer movies. "The Hulk - There's only one superhero whose salient characteristic is that when he transforms into his heroic form he also becomes deeply, tragically retarded. [...] Seabiscuit - I blame George W. Bush for the latest trend in movie heroes: Tobey Maguire now joins Matt Damon in the ranks of young actors who exclusively play simple, clumsy guys who are shocked and amazed at their own extraordinary hidden abilities. This no doubt stems from our collective need to believe that it's possible for dopey-looking uncomplicated guys to have extraordinary hidden abilities." Felber is often heard on NPR news quiz show Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me, and is the son of Edith Layton, one of my favorite authors!
