...kills a character, followed by that group's very own "Hip To Be Square." Sadly, that was the only song to make it into the soundtrack amongst the musical references in Bale's memorable monologues in the film about major '80s stars, such as Phil Collins and Whitney Houston, and unfortunately it's been deleted from the newer versions of the soundtrack. What is left is a humorless shell, a mish-mash of remixes that after the first cacophonous and starkly violent playing, leave the listener no reason to come back. C -Jimmy...

...story of Cleopatra seems tailor-made for the ballet, with its epic themes of lust, love, empire, political conspiracy and tragedy. Created in conjunction with the Houston Ballet and the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, Cleopatra does not shy away from any of these large themes. Choreographer Ben Stevenson, of the Houston Ballet, brings to the production much of the dramatic flair that characterized his staging of Dracula in Boston last spring, but Cleopatra ultimately rests on the skill of its dancers, and as such emerges as the superior production...
