This year's second performance at the Annie Russell Theater is Cabaret, a musical set in Berlin, Germany in the early 1930s. I had never seen the show Cabaret before, but I had heard some of the musical numbers from the show. I have to say, I was expecting an upbeat musical comedy, which was what I got until the end of the first act, when the show suddenly took a hugely dark turn with the emergence of the Nazi Party in Germany.

I'm reluctant to spend more time than I already have on the new Grant Heslov film "The Men Who Stare at Goats." Feeling much too long at a painful 94 minutes, the aforementioned goats don't make their presence felt until nearly an hour in. Not that it matters, because by that time we are so confused as to the film's ambitions that we've all but given up before the final frame is even loaded into the projector.
