Rescue Dawn hasn't quite the intensity or veracity of Little Dieter. Somehow, hearing Dengler testify to the atrocities he survived is more vivid than watching an excellent cast re-enact them. But the Herzog team's devotion to the horror of the story, and to Dengler's unkillable spirit, is gratifying. Rescue Dawn is a tale of heroism untainted by political skepticism. In an age when U.S. soldiers are seen as villains or victims, the movie offers a GI who bravely, or madly, simply refuses...
...with the deities perhaps one degree too much. The students celebrating Holi last Saturday were not necessarily trying to emulate Hindu deities, although many sought to honor them.

...bleached winter skies, Kiev is saturated with color - blues, ice whites, reds and, of course, orange. Political parties have plastered every wall in their liveries; their supporters declare allegiance with vivid scarves, headbands and banners at rallies patrolled by riot police. It's as if Hollywood had decided to re-enact the orange revolution that less than 15 months ago installed the people's choice, Viktor Yushchenko, as Ukrainian President. In the Hollywood version Yushchenko would be an unimpeachable hero and his ousted rival, the former Russia-backed Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych, an unalloyed villain. But parliamentary elections this Sunday...
...Pussycat Dolls and “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mixalot, the 39-year-old held her own to Dogman’s balletic jazz moves, eventually dancing up to him.To assess Berry’s dramatic talent, Blickstead and Dodd asked that she re-enact the highway scene from Monster’s Ball, the film which brought her an Oscar for best actress.Filling in for Billy Bob Thornton was Samuel Gale Rosen ’06, who co-wrote the script for this year’s production...
