Movies
'Debaters' triumphs as classic sports film
Web-posted 05/15/08
Great because it never tries to be grand, The Great Debaters succeeds as a classic sports movie (if debating can be considered a sport) and as an indictment of the Jim Crow South.

'Prince Caspian' exhibits maturity lacking in first episode of 'Narnia'
Web-posted 05/15/08
More is more in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian , the follow-up to the 2005 fantasy hit The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe . It's darker and funnier, more substantive and more engaging, more violent and more technically accomplished.

Artist's pictures remind us of troubled past
Web-posted 05/15/08
Forgetting the past isn't an option for photographer William Anderson. That's evident in an exhibit of his work, Lest We Forget, drawn from 40 years of photos depicting the lives of blacks, which will open today at the Lucy Laney Museum of Black History.

Clowns have a sinister side in 'Pagliacci'
Web-posted 05/15/08
Pagliacci proves that opera can be just as grand in two hours as four. The deeply tragic and musically affecting and accessible opera revolves around a troupe of traveling clowns confronted one evening with infidelity, mistrust and murder.
