...Strikes Back is a beautiful work, with powerful, poignant themes and the extremely memorable end title, as Luke and Leia watch Lando and Chewbacca fly into space to find Han and the music swells in the background. The Return of the Jedi is almost entirely action-oriented, with the brilliant exception of the dark choral work that accompanies the scenes of the Emperor...
...carpet in his family's living room, trying to explain the inexplicable: What made Klebold latch on to Harris? "Eric was an incredible individualist," he begins slowly. "Charismatic, an eloquent speaker, well read, the kind of guy who could bulls___ for hours about anything and be witty and brilliant." There was no sign of this erudition on Harris' website, but maybe he was role playing in those days. It's clear that Brown still feels Eric's pull as well. He knows he'll miss sitting around in the afternoon with him, eating and talking about ideas like Ayn Rand...

Pieces like this, or Lin's Tchaikovsky, or even the improvised new arrangement of Gershwin are what makes a live performance unique...
...play begins powerfully, as the first Richard (Monteleoni) crouches in an eerie green light in the center of the stage and delivers the difficult "I shall prove myself a villain" soliloquy with a brilliant sense of introverted evil. The first Richard, the so-called Master of Ceremonies, hobbles around the stage in a whirlwind of action, murdering his way to the English throne. Monteleoni's performance is particularly pointed during Richard's outrageous, paradoxical, yet effective, seduction of Lady Anne (Amy Piper '99), who plays her role with convincing passion, reacting to the death of her husband at the hands...
Welcome to the subversive world of Alexander Payne's Election, brilliant--at times absolutely mind-blowing--parody of a morality tale. Payne's follow-up to the underrated (and far less subtle) Citizen Ruth is the first great movie of 1999. Buy your tickets now. Read this review later...
