If all you've seen of Gene Kelly is "Xanadu" and that one "Singin' in the Rain" clip that makes every other Oscar montage, right that wrong.

Invitation to the Dance
The most rare of cinematic sub-genres: the dance anthology
Join the circus
Show up an hour before showtime to watch an elephant paint a picture, which will be raffled off during intermission.
Water for Elephants
Dung for you.
Drama
Rod Lott
What seemed exciting in Sara Gruen's best-selling novel plays flat in the painful "Water for Elephants," a wretchedly written and overwrought drama that leaps to the top of my list of the year's worst films.
Trap ease
Blending modern dance with high-flying circus fun, Perpetual Motion offers a new way to stay in shape.
Features
Heide Brandes
The trapeze has thrilled the souls of adventurers worldwide, and the act itself is an art form unlike any other.
Twins of Evil
Double, double, toil and trouble ...
Horror
Rod Lott
For me, the more desperate Hammer Film Productions got as audiences’ tastes changed in the early 1970s, the more fun their flicks became. That’s why 1971’s Twins of Evil is now one of my favorites from the legendary British studio, after digging into its Blu-ray debut from Synapse Films.
Knight watch
Batman soars into Oklahoma City to deliver a little BAM! POW! OOF! in an action-packed, effects-laden stage show.

Gazette staff
You may recall that when, in Genesis, man was given dominion over the animals, it was so that the beasts could helpeth us till the fields and, yay, that they may danceth under lights and weareth little hats for the amusement of Adam and all his descendants.
Nitro Circus: The Movie
Wow! Ouch!
Documentary
Rod Lott
Granted only a limited theatrical release this summer, Nitro Circus: The Movie is like Jackass with more athleticism, more engineering know-how, more maturity, more corporate sponsors, and much less testicular trauma.
‘Circus’ folk
Performing for millions on ‘The Voice,’ singer-songwriter Rebecca Loebe would rather play for one room on her ‘Circus Heart’ tour.
