Very few films today have any magic. Few filmmakers can combine serious subject matter with whimsy, transporting audiences to a magical place.
It's no surprise, however, that with "Pleasantville," writer/director Gary Ross manages such a feat. Ross, who wrote the Oscar-nominated screenplays for "Big" and "Dave," in the past has managed difficult subject matter by setting it within the impossible.
Welcome to Pleasantville
Everyone should set out early for the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company performance tonight. With sync in their step, the dance company will give a poetic performance of "We Set Out Early ... Visibility Was Poor." This highly acclaimed performing group will bring their modern styles and skills to the stage of the Power Center for one exquisite performance in Ann Arbor.
