The jingling piano, the humming traffic and the prancing horse tap out separate if connecting songs in the beguiling nonnarrative film âThe Silence Before Bach.â

The film is interesting, but does not probe deep.

Sound of the Boot is another addition in the prolific output of Suresh Gopi-Shaji Kailas combo. A suspense thriller that becomes revenge saga in the second half fairs a notch better their recent outings.

The beautifully acted ensemble film âThe Witnessesâ sidesteps most of its opportunities for high drama, political sermonizing and the jerking of tears.

In London, new productions of âOthelloâ and âMuch Ado About Nothingâ reveal a common theme: loveâs susceptibility to deception.

Thereâs a lot going on under the surface of âFeel the Noise,â far more than its indefensibly generic title suggests.

A moment of pure glee, which happens before everything changes.

Director Ridley Scott's original vision for the groundbreaking sci-fi flick comes out in a baffling array of DVD sets. Luckily, they all capture a bleak future in which uppity androids get popped for becoming self-aware (and there's no narration to kill the mood).

I met an old friend for coffee in San Francisco yesterday afternoon, and had a few hours to kill before stopping in at the Wired reunion party. I didn't want to drive back to Berkeley because the weather was so crummy, and I was just across teh street from a movie theater and was just in time for the start of a movie that lots of people had been telling me to see. So I went. The movie -- The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, I had no idea what it was about until the movie started, then I remembered hearing a Fresh Air show about it and finding it too painful to listen to. Now here I was in the theater, not just being asked to listen to it, but being asked to live it. Through some very wonderful film-making, you feel as if what is happening to the main character is happening to you. Or more accurately, probably, you get the slightest hint of what it's like to be this person. My immediate impulse, one which I gave serious consideration to, was to pack up my things and leave. Anything would be better than spending three hours living this guy's life.  Two things happen over time: 1. You get over it. 2. They change perspective, and instead of being inside his body, you move outside it.  I think those two things are the story we all live as we mature and learn to live inside our own bodies, with their limits. You learn to step outside and see the humor in your predicament. The main character says he lives in a diving bell because it's as hard for him to communicate with other people as it would be at the bottom of the ocean inside a diving bell. The movie teaches that it's not much easier for the rest of us, even though we can manipulate symbols better. On the other hand, of course it is. The film develops a relationship between the hero and his father, between the hero and his own children, his ex-wife, his lover.  We strive for deeper understanding of ourselves and each other. But it may be ridiculously easy to find the only meaning that exists, without language, without intellect, by just being. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly should probably be the picture of the year for 2007, it's that good. But like all great art it shows you something truthful about yourself, and you may or may not want to see it.

When the audience hears a Bach piece at Carl Parks' next recital in January they may sense the heightened passion he feels after his recent pilgrimage to Germany.

It may be a bit, um, premature to say so, but Judd Apatowâs âKnocked Upâ strikes me as an instant classic, a comedy that captures the sexual confusion and moral ambivalence of our moment.
