...Hoffman deserves that Oscar nomination.The humor of Capote, exemplified in his real life by his proclivity to tell amusing anecdotes on the talk show circuit, is convincingly portrayed. Capote’s big-city style, complete with overbearing manner and designer clothing is a stark contrast to the people and the Kansas landscape, full of long, barren shots, leafless trees, and overcast skies.

As other groups scrounge for space, all-male a cappella groups devour rooms for their rehearsals. One even has a posh clubhouse to use as its home base. While most Harvard students socialize in overcrowded dorm rooms drinking cheap liquor...
...intimacy and mystery of their hideaway provides a good platform for the forest creatures that emerge. As the music builds, the creatures blossom. A romp through the woods leads to some stark, intriguing visuals, and nice special effects as the sprites envelop the cabin in their hair (magical fire locks...
