It has just gone up over at Science Progress. Since there are certain things you cannot really say on ScienceBlogs any longer, I will only quote here the parts of the review that are ideologically palatable:
Okay, let's get this out of the way first: Ben Stein's new movie, Expelled, is a deeply dishonest piece of propaganda. Pretty much everything in it is a sham, from the quality of its intellectual and scientific arguments to the nonsense premise that Stein is going on a learning odyssey to find out what's really happening in the world of "Big Science" (hint: repression of dissent). In truth, it's plainly obvious that Stein already had his mind made up, and has set out to deliberately construct a brief against evolution and for intelligent design. The most disgusting thing about Expelled, though, is the craven guilt-by-association approach. Viewers are bludgeoned with the absurd argument that Charles Darwin is somehow to blame for Dachau, and that today's scientific establishment has built the equivalent of a Berlin Wall to keep out threatening ideas (which makes Ben Stein, er, Ronald Reagan). The New York Times reviewer fulminated that Expelled "is a conspiracy-theory rant masquerading as investigative inquiry" and shows a "contempt for precision and intellectual rigor." I entirely agree.
As for the rest of the review--containing "dangerous" content--go here to read it.
UPDATE: The "Intersection" has gone back to moderating all comments.
