The New York Times [Oct. 3] quotes Greg Kinnear on "Flash of Genius": I just fell in love with the story because it really isn’t about the intermittent windshield wiper, it’s about someone who has a dream — like so many of us do — and he decided he wasn’t going to take it when somebody stole his dream. What I was attracted to was that the story was about principle, and that people could really understand...

I wouldn’t say that the new film Flash of Genius is terrible. It’s actually not that bad. However, it could have been so much better. The movie tells the story of Robert Kearns (Greg Kinnear), who invented the intermittent windshield wiper back in the 70s. All the auto manufacturers were trying ...
