...this week that it had the power to formulate its own editorial policies (Ha ha, Crimson editorial page). so her goes. On the campus front, we're in favor of Radcliffe, freespeech, mandatory no-exercise regimes and leaving Cambridge. We're not in favor of clubs of any kind, facial hair (with all due respect to MF's horendous mutton-chop/Brussel-sprout combo), self-righteousness and radiation experiments. Nationally: yes for health care, Al Gore, and Michael Jordan's new career move; no on guns, the insanity defense and toxic corpses. Internationally: two thumbs up for Lena Olin, Tiger Okoshi...
...these elements on occasion makes the film seem exaggerated and incomprehensible. The flashbacks and recurring blue colors mark this as a film of imagination and wonder. The heightened reality of Julie's experience shows Kieslowski's method of expressing emotions by representation using methods besides dialogue of facial expressions...
Despite these setbacks, the charisma of the players carried the production through with verve. Catherine deLima, playing the spirited Rosalinda, dominated the production with her dynamic voice and smirking facial expressions. Particularly charming was the duet in which deLima seduces Edward Upton (Eisenstein, Rosalinda's husband) in disguise, wielding a Hungarian accent and faintly pouting demeanor to entrap him.

Although Upton's voice suffered under the daunting orchestra and paled in comparison to his buoyant coplayers, his cutesy acting...
...Xplora 1: Peter Gabriel's Secret World. First you put the singer's face together, which means choosing from a screenful of different mouths, noses, eyes and ears. "You'll know when you've got it," says Mr. Computer Potato Head while you give him a facial. This achieved, you must decide what to do next: Watch one of his music videos? Thumb through his old baby pictures? Choose various cuts by musicians from around the world and mix them together into your own jam session? Or "go backstage"; that requires a pass, which you earn while maneuvering through...
...Rackstraw sings in an elegant, well-projected voice with effortless transitions to higher registers. Even his speech seems melodious, as if half-sung. With arms flailing wildly about him, he gives his part some wonderfully bombastic melodrama. Jill Weitzner shines as Little Buttercup. She communicates complex thoughts with her facial expressions, and has a crystalline, resonant voice to match. Weitzner's movements capitalize almost instinctively on her physique (in the play, she is given enough weight to take down a truck). We have no doubt that she is ideally suited to this type of physical humor...
