...juxtaposed unsettlingly with grotesque renderings of prisoners, and audience members wandered about in a stupor as they attempted to read the illegible scrawlings along the wall’s length.Every 10 minutes or so, a moment of humor lent “The Divine Reality Comedy” a flicker of fun. There was the burlesque ringmaster of Paradise, a nasty and ragged Santa Claus, and the 10-second appearance of Marx Brothers-esque “resurrection specialists.” But each highlight was quickly compromised by an equally disappointing set piece, like the three-minute sequence...
...most original performance of the night came right before the intermission. “Flicker,” choreographed by Continuing Education and Special Programs Instructor Brenda S. Divelbliss, offered an interesting—though dark—perspective on ballet. Electronic contemporary music, namely DJ Alexandre’s “Toma Toma,” inspired an unconventional blend of ballet and break dancing. The combination was ideal for Shee, who stood out as the only male in the show. The eight female dancers, clad in disheveled, sequined tutus of varying lengths and colors gave a performance...
This telltale flicker is easy to spot even from a small, ground-based telescope. So Charbonneau is setting up an array of eight 16-in. (40 cm) telescopes on Mount Hopkins, near Tucson, Ariz., and pointing them over and over at the 100 closest M-dwarfs to see if their light dims in a repeating pattern. If it does, he won't have long to wait: a habitable M-dwarf planet would have a "year" only three or four days long, so transits would happen all the time. Things will get even easier in 2009, when NASA launches a satellite...
...previously encountered at the movies, and Clooney plays him with a wonderfully calm subtlety. The man never sweats or, for that matter, raises his voice when the pressure is on him, which it almost always is. At most, he registers anxiety with an almost imperceptible flicker of his eyes. When we meet him, the firm's leading litigator, Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson) has suffered a serious meltdown in Milwaukee - in the the midst of taking a deposition he has stripped naked and run out babbling into a snowy parking lot. Arthur has been defending an Agrochemical giant called U/North...
...love the way Tommy Lee Jones acknowledges the change in his son, the changes in the army he faithfully served, the changes in the world we all inhabit. It's no more than a fleeting expression, a flicker in his eyes, and the result is not obvious anger or weary cynicism. It is a kind of acceptance that does not vitiate his desire to see justice done. This is, I think, a great performance by one of the great movie minimalists. And Haggis has provided him with a perfectly matched context, recording without overt commentary the strip-joint, hooker-ridden...
