Despite its knee-slapping moments, this intense physical style can be a bit disconcerting in a play like The Misanthrope, which derives so much of its appeal from the verbal thrust-and-parry modeled after the wits of Moliere's France. Action often interrupts the rhyme and rhythm of the verse, and constant physical exertion occasionally leaves actors too flustered to deliver their lines smoothly. The play's periodic farcical episodes and silly characters can be amusing though, as long as they are timed so as not to interfere with the dialogue. For example, when director Jerry Ruiz '00 mixes...
...Cake says, "Sheep go to heaven, goats go to hell." Well, maybe so. But they take a little bit of everything and make music with a fresh and original perspective--something rare and beautiful in the music industry. This band has always been a little different from everyone else, in a wonderful way. Don't ever call them standard or normal. At least, not yet. Raw energy and anger were more evident in earlier Cake music. Their two most widely-known songs, "The Distance" and "I Will Survive," stood out and were filled with intensity.

...true opera lover that loves to soak up every last bit of juicy opera gossip, this is a book that could easily be read in one sitting, as the comments on the back of the book jacket profess.

Other songs are brooding ("Love Comes Tumbling," "Endless Deep") or simply happy ("Hallelujah Here She Comes"). Only the covers are overly weak; their version of "Everlasting Love" seems a bit too close to Gloria Estefan's jolly remake, and on "Unchained Melody," Bono strains his voice to hit the high notes, which lessens the beauty of the song. Probably for only those diehard U2 fans, the B-sides CD is nevertheless an excellent addition to any record collection...
...have decried the film as racist are correct in that yes this is another film about shady Arabs, but the film seeks to redeem itself by having the government take extreme measures against all Arabs, thereby overtly demonstrating the evil in broad prejudices. Unfortunately, the approach seems a bit simplistic, although it is still a point well made...
