From the director of The Blair Witch Project, Midnight Son is the story of Jacob (Zak Kilberg, Zombie Strippers!, Lincoln Heights), a young man confined to a life of isolation, due to a rare skin disorder that prevents him from being exposed to sunlight. His world opens up when he meets Mary (Maya Parish, How I Met Your Mother), a local bartender, and falls in love. Tragically, Jacob's actions become increasingly bizarre as he struggles to cope with the effects of his worsening condition. Forced by the disease to drink human blood for sustenance, he must control his increasingly violent tendencies as local law enforcement narrow their focus on him as a suspect in a series of grisly murders. Directed by Scott Leberecht, a well-known name on the festival circuit, Midnight Son is a twisting, terrifying tale of vampirism and humanity and how the two conditions can intertwine.

Through a series of memories and beautifully crafted vignettes, director Clay Jeter, in his acclaimed first feature, produces a lyrical tale of two solitary, young souls and creates a world where mundane elements swell to bursting and demonstrate the power of cinema to capture the sensation of memory, the beautiful and tragic feeling of the fleeting and the preciousness of youth and all of its disasters. Shot entirely on location 'Jess + Moss' captures the evocative and haunting character of the dark fire tobacco fields of rural Western Kentucky.

It's been half a decade since the daddy of bawdy bedroom humour David Dhawan delivered a good coarse consignment of fun yet cock-n-bull cinema. And in that vein (and I repeat strictly in that vein) Kumar - the artiste formerly known as `Indy Irani' (Beta Dil) - with Masti fills a space and succeeds in an enthralling mindless armchair frolic. This out-n-out sex farce vaguely borrowed from Billy Wilder's The Seven Year Itch (but closer to Ravi Malhotra's Khel Khel Mein and E Niwas's Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega) concerns three married-for-money delinquents (Oberoi Shivdasani Deshmukh) who venture out to hook up with 'chicks' outside their respective hen-pecked holes. The obvious results are comedies of error. And the most unfortunate of the escapades is how unbeknownst to them they land up with the dead body of their common 'lust-interest' (Lara Dutta) to get trailed by a tough cop (Ajay Devgan - oh what a pointless role). Some sumptuous gay gags which have become conspicuous in Bollywood of late. Presumably to elicit that senseless smile is the purpose of this picture. Leave your gray cells at home keep your cellphone for song breaks and step cautiously into this often no-holds-barred Carry On series styled sex comedy strictly for adults. You'd go home with a grin.
Enormously popular and influential in its time, Meyerbeer's L'Africaine has become a rarity--the conventions of grand opera which it embodies so thoroughly are only familiar as adapted by Verdi and Wagner, so this work usefully reminds us of how radical they were. Meyerbeer and his librettist Scribe give us a five-act plot full of confrontations and threats of death, a shipwreck and the suicide of the Indian heroine Selika and her rejected suitor by inhaling the poisonous aromas of a deadly tree. The expedition of Vasco Da Gama round the Cape of Good Hope and up to the spice ports of India becomes less a story about the crusade for profit and more a matter of messy triangular love affairs. Heavy fathers, Brahmin priests and Grand Inquisitors are handled with much facility and no intensity. What L'Africaine really amounts to is a singers' display piece, and the two principals here--Shirley Verrett as Selika and Placido Domingo as Vasco--are entirely up to its demands. Domingo reminds us that Vasco's Act 4 aria "Oh Paradis" was for decades a standard tenor showstopper. The other principals, Ruth Ann Svenson and Justino Diaz, are entirely admirable and Marco Arena and the San Francisco Opera give the work as a whole both the grandeur it certainly possesses and rather more subtlety than one might have expected. On the DVD: The DVD, presented in 4:3 ratio, and in PCM stereo, has no features apart from instructions and subtitles in French, German, English and Spanish. This failure to provide extras, or even an especially informative leaflet, becomes especially regrettable with a work whose conventions are now far out of the operatic mainstream. --Roz Kaveney
