OPENS FRIDAY
"PARADISE ROAD" It may not be the next Schindler's List , but Paradise Road is still an intense and provocative film about World War II internment camps. In this case, Japanese soliders run the camp. The prisoners are English, Dutch, American and Australian women and children. Glenn Close stars as the woman who unifies the prisoners with a "vocal orchestra," proving that there are still things that the Japanese cannot steal from them. The film also stars Julianna Margulies and Frances McDormand. WEDNESDAY "ELLEN" You'll be kicking yourself for a year if you miss this week's special hour-long episode of "Ellen." Next Wednesday night, like real-life Ellen DeGeneres, her character will realize that she is gay. The special episode guest stars Oprah Winfrey, Laura Dern, k.d. lang and Steve Eckholdt and will feature cameos by Demi Moore, Billy Bob Thornton, Dwight Yoakam and Melissa Etheridge. Wednesday 8:00 p.m. on ABC NEXT SUNDAY "KANYA" Next Sunday, the South Asian Society presents "Kanya," a multimedia presentation that incorporates poetry, imagery, music and dance. Musicians and dancers from India will accompany artist Jothi Raghavan as he celebrates women through a production inspired by ancient and modern composers and poets. Sunday, May 4 at 5 p.m. Hamman Hall Tickets $25, $15 $10 for students (713) 772-ARTS
