AFTER DARK MAC cosmetics creative director James Gager was trying to evoke the mystery of the evening when he created colors like Cabaret Red, above...
...band breaks out of this mold for a few ballads and genre experiments. The less said about “The End,” which strikes an acoustic, almost alt-country posture in its first minute, the better. “Mama” flirts with cabaret punk, with a level of success that depends completely on how much you like 1) that sub-genre and 2) Liza Minelli, who guest stars. “I Don’t Love You” is a guitar-driven lament that reaches almost Nickelbackian proportions of blandness...

Shortbus could be called the first middle-class porno movie, but that description wouldn't be fair to this engaging study of love and lust from John Cameron Mitchell, star and author of the off-Broadway hit Hedwig and the Angry Inch. At the film's center is Sofia (Sook-Yin Lee), a sex therapist who gets no kick...
