...JUSTICE to Philip LaZebnik's The Teeth of Mons Herbert would be to write a review backwards or in pig-Latin. From the first view of the set to the rousing Schlusschor there unfolds an endless train of absurdities that defies rational criticism. This is an extremely witty show in all aspects of production, and though the material comes from all directions, it represents an agile synthesis on LaZebnik's part. As author-composer-director he has produced a consistently funny and entertaining evening that elicits laughter and a sense of amazement...
...interminably long time, the camera finds the cattle, and immediately pans in on the cloven hooves scuffing through the dusty soil. Thereby Rooks has introduced what turns out to be a major motif in the movie--feet. The film's fascination with this part of the anatomy is endless. When Siddhartha pads solemnly through the forest in search of you know what, we become familiar with his dirty toes.

For the man who used law-and-order as the pillar of his first campaign to now become the symbol of lawlessness is inexcusable hypocrisy, and to retain faith...
...says. "Hue is a military target and a political target. Saigon is a political target. Their goal of a 'third Viet Nam' [a separate Communist state in the South] is very real." Although his sector is seemingly quiet, the war is real here too. Noting the endless rolls of concertina wire surrounding the Trung Ngan bunker, I ask: "General, what are you going to do with all that barbed wire when the war is over?" Nghi smiles thinly. "You tell me when the war will be over and I'll tell you what...
