...Host is itself a bizarre hybrid: both a popular hit (South Korea's all-time box-office champ) and a critics' choice, having played to acclaim at the Cannes and New York festivals. The film's plot is also pretty splitty: part old-time sea- or sewer-mutant movie in the tradition of Godzilla and Them! and part trigenerational comedy-drama about a weird family--sort of a Little Miss Korean Sunshine. The difference is that instead of a dead old man in the van, the Park family has a little girl (Ko A-sung) missing in the belly...
...visits her to discuss his engagement plans. She suggests that he offer a chambermaid (actually Octavian in disguise) to his future fiancée, Sophie von Faninal, as an engagement gift in addition to a special silver rose. Unexpectedly, Ochs becomes infatuated with the disguised Octavian; from there, the plot takes many twists, involving more disguises and deception, a pair of Italian spies, and the police. With an orchestra of 110, cast of 35 and technical staff of 30, “Der Rosenkavalier” is indeed a massive undertaking for LHO, which is an all-volunteer company...

For the gentiles among you, Purim looks like Halloween meets Mardi Gras with a Jewish back story. The holiday commemorates the failure of the evil Haman’s plot to destroy all the Jews, which provides the perfect excuse to get smashed while sporting ridiculous outfits. Campus Rabbi and Orthodox Rabbinic Advisor Avi Poupko came dressed as the Pope in full regalia, complete with a guitar on his back. Former Jewish band member Raphael S.N. Nemes...
...most part, the film continues in this cloyingly earnest vein, dedicated to telling its quasi-inspirational story with no jokes beyond the understanding of small children. (Lucky Charms cereal deserves an acting credit for its centrality to the plot.) The Farmers live in a town where everyone knows everyone’s business and the county fair is the event of the season...
...plot of “Fall” might have seemed eerily familiar to more than a few audience members: an unnamed British international student (Cutmore-Scott), arrives at Harvard as a freshman and finds himself quickly launched into the careening rush of academic and social life in Cambridge. Autobiographical? Possibly, but it didn’t matter, because “Fall” left me with the impression that I was looking at my own life, albeit through a lens that has been simultaneously polished and warped...
