...luck had something to do with the second Brandeis tally. McCully had the good fortune to have a Crimson defensive clearance bounce off the back of his head, with the ricochet landing at the feet of Judge winger Chris Ellsasses. Ellsasses hit a low right-footer past charging freshman Matt Ginzberg, who replaced Coogan at the half. The junior starter suffered a broken nose against Columbia and he complained the padding he wore obstructed his vision...
...year-old M.D. who had edited his first feature on a kitchen table. Max surprised with its cinematic canniness, but Warrior astounds as a sequel superior in every respect. Miller suggests violence; he does not exploit it. He throws the viewer off-balance by mixing the ricochet rhythms of his chase scenes with tableaux of Walpurgisnacht grandeur: Wez's rain dance, a fiery crucifixion, a vision of Max flying supine over the outback. Miller keeps the eye alert, the mind agitated, the Saturday-matinee spirit alive...

Mintz's musicianship becomes his salvation too, especially in the well-known Liesbesleid (Love's Sorrow), Liebesfreud (Love's Joy) and Caprice viennois op. 2. Mintz plays ricochet bowings and fancy-fingered high notes in the umpteenth position with more clarity and precision than the old master himself (Kreisler had to be a genius to be able to make millions of his concerts and records and manage to get away with an hour's practicing once a month). Shlomo's earthy, robust tone enlivens every phrase in these three pieces...
