HOLLYWOOD UPDATES 

Word is out thcit George Lucas, the mastermind 

lêhind the huj;eTy successful "Star 

Wars" and "Indiana lones" trilogies, has 

begun work on the long awaited, three part 

series that would chronologically precede 

"Star Wars," "The Empire Strikes Back" and 

"The Return of the ledi." Though no firm 

time frame has been set for the projects, a 

spokeswoman for Lucasfilm Ltd. 

said that 

the three films could be completed over the 

next five to seven years. Lucas has long 

maintained that the original "Star Wars" 

trilogy would be part of a nine-part series 

that would include three earlier and three 

later episodes. The new films, which are 

currently in the development stage, are 

expected to detail the adventures of the 

young Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi (the character 

played by Alec Guinness in the original 

trilogy) and Darth Vader, the father of Luke 

Skywalker, who ultimately betrayed his 

friend and defected to the dark side of the 

Force. 

Joel and Ethan Coen's "Barton Fink" was 

the big winner at the 44th Cannes Film 

Festival, walking off with the all-imporlant 

Golden Palm, the test's grand priiê, as well 

as awards for best director (Joel Coen) and 

best actor (John Turturro). ("Fink" will be 

released in the U.S. by 20th Century Fox 

this September). The sweep caused surprise 

and outrage at Cannes, where in the past 

the festival's juries have generally divided 

top honors among different films. Black 

filmmaker Spike Lee, whose "|ungle 

Fever" won only best supporting ac lor honors 

for Samuel L. Jackson, lashed out at the 

fest, telling USA Today, "If they have a 

choice between me and Steven Soderbergh 

or the Coen brothers, they'll go for the 

golden white boys every time." Lee's "Do 

the Right Thing" lost to Soderbergh's "sex, 

lies and videotape" in 1 489, and, after this 

year's defeat, he said he may not return to 

the festival. 

Back at home, Lee's next project, the 

bio-pic "Malcolm X," was rumored to be 

headed for turnaround. The problem is the 

budget; Warner Bros, only wanted to 

spend $20 million, while Lee was after $35 

million. After consideraijie haggling, Lee 

came down to $29 million, but Warners 

was holding the line at $22 million. Lee had 

previously stirred up controversy on the 

project by insisting that original director 

Norman jewison, who is white, step aside 

and let Lee take over. If the film ever gets 

made, look for Denzel Washington, who 

previously starred in Lee's "Mo Better 

Blues," to play the title role of the slain 

activist leader. 

Amblin Entertainment antl Universal 

Pictures are developing a (onibined live 

action/animated feature film based on the 

cartoon character Casper the Friendly 

Ghost. The film will reportedly use technology 

similar to that used in the 

Amblin/Buena Vista blockbuster "Who 

Framed Roger Rabbit." According to insiders, 

Amblin king Steven Spielberg personally 

pitched a 10 minute story idea to enthusiastic 

MCA Motion Picture Group 

chairman Tom Pollock. Last year, Universal 

acquired a 20 percent stake in Harvey 

Comics, the company that owns rights to 

Casper, setting the stage for a feature film. 

The studio also reportedly hopes to develop 

a project for another favorite Harvey 

character, Baby Huey, at some later date. 

Dustin Hoffman has inked a three year, 

first-look production and development 

deal for his Punt h Productions with Columbia 

Pictures Entertainment. The agreement 

calls for Hoffman to develo(3 and produce 

films for both Columbia Pictures and Tri- 

Star Pictures, and the studios no doubt 

hope that Hoffman will be starring in the 

films as well as producing. No specific films 

have yet been discussed, although Hoffman 

was supposed to co-produce and star 

in "A Faint Cold Fear" for 20th Century Fox 

next year. Hoffman is currently finishing up 

work on Steven Spielberg's "Hook" tor Tri- 

Star (scheduled for Thanksgiving release), 

and will also be seen this fall in Touchstone/Buena 

Vista's "Billy Bathgate." In the 

past, two of Hoffman's biggest successes, 

"Kramer Vs. Kramer" and "Tootsie," were 

released by Columbia. 

Orson Welles final film, the heretofore 

unreleased "The Other Side of the Wind," 

may finally see the light of day if filmmakers 

Frank Marshall and Peter Bogdanovich get 

their way. The |iair, who are c urrently serving 

as producer and director of the comedy 

"Noises Off," are patching together the bits 

and pieces of the movie, which was shot 

on 35mm, 1 6mm, 8mm, and videotape by 

Welles between 1972 and 1977. At that 

time, Marshall was serving as Welles' producer, 

while Bogdanovich, a longtime disciple 

of the legendary director, was acting 

in the film. "The Other Side of the Wind" 

has long piciued thecuriosity of film fans: it 

tells the story of a once-famous filmmaker 

(played by John Huston) at the end of his 

life and is believed by Welles buffs to be 

largely autobiographical. Even if Marshall 

and Bogdanovich are able to put together 

an acceptable version of the film, they'll 

have a tough time getting it released as 

rights are owned by a variety of investors, 

as well as Welles' longtimccom[ianionOja 

Kodar. 

We've heard of TV series' based on successful 

features, but, up until now, there's 

been a real dearth of features based on 

unsuccesslunv shows. Leave it to David 

Lynch to go where no filmmaker has gone 

before: his recently-canceled but much 

praised prime time soap "Twin Peaks" is 

expected to resurface in a movie theatre 

near you some time next year. Spelling 

Entertainment Inc., which owns distribution 

rights to the series, and French financier 

Francis Bouygues, who recently signed 

a three picture deal with Lynch, are vying 

for the privilege of backing the film.

HOLLYWOOD REPORT 

Al Pacino 

"Glengarry Glen Ross" Despite 

his success on the legitimate 

stage, David Mamet 

hasn't had much luck having 

his plays adapted into films. 

So far there's only been the 

intermittently successful 

"About Last Night," a softened 

version of his scathing "Sexual 

Perversity in Chicago." Now, 

after years of false starts, this 

Pulitzer Prize-winning drama 

finally makes it to the big 

screen, with a dream cast. 

stars Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon 

and Alec Baldwin in the story 

of a group of small-time, cutthroat 

real estate salesmen 

whose ruthless, competitive 

business creates a climate of 

survival of the fittest. The subject 

matter is similar to that of 

Barry Levinson's "Tin Men," 

but the stakes are much higher 

and the tone is much darker, 

judging by the play, there 

should be plenty of low comedy, 

high drama and gritty 

suspense. Mamet adapted the 

script himself (his other 

screenplays include "The Verdict" 

and "The Untouchables"), 

while James 

Foley ("After Dark, My 

Sweet") directs. (New Line) 

"Stop or My Mom Will 

Shoot" Hot off tne comic success 

of "Oscar," Sylvester Stallone 

returns with another 

hopeful laugh riot—who does 

this guy think he is, Cary 

Grant? Here, he plays maverick 

policeman Joe Bomowski, 

a sergeant on the force who 

has a harder time dealing with 

his feisty mother than with the 

bad guys. 

Estelle Getty (TV's 

"Golden Girls") co-stars as 

mom, while JoBeth Williams 

("Switch") is Bomowski's precinct 

supervisor and sometime 

girlfriend. Roger 

Spottiswoode ("Turner and 

It 

Hooch") directs from a script 

by Blake Snyder, Will Davies, 

Will Osborne and Dan Petrie, 

jr. (Universal) 

"Light Sleeper" Paul Schrader 

is best known for writing 

the Martin Scorsese films 

"Taxi Driver," "Raging Bull" 

and "The Last Temptation of 

Christ," but as strange as that 

trio of films is, the ones he 

directs— including "American 

Gigolo" and "The Comfort of 

Strangers"—are even weirder. 

"Light Sleeper" will star 

Willem Dafoe ("Platoon") as a 

disturbed loner (a familiar 

type for a Schrader anti-hero) 

working as a drug delivery 

boy. As his 40th birthday 

draws near, he becomes desperate 

to change his life. 

Susan Sarandon ("Thelma and 

Louise") is set to co-star as the 

love interest. (Seven Arts) 

"Kuffs" Christian Slater 

("Robin Hood") stars as title 

character George Kuffs in this 

suspenser about a good-fornothing 

high school dropout 

who sets out to avenge his 

policeman brother's (Bruce 

Boxleitner) death, joined by a 

troublemaking San Francisco 

Police Department officer 

(Tony Goldwyn of "Ghost"), 

Kuffs challenges the brains behind 

the city's organized 

crime. The film co-stars Milla 

Jovovich ("Return to the Blue 

Lagoon"), and is directed by 

rookie Bruce A. Evans, from 

the script he co-wrote with 

Raynold Gideon. (Universal) 

"The Year of the Comet" 

This glamorous action adventure 

in the vein of "Romancing 

the Stone" and "Charade" is 

filming in a variety of European 

locations. Penelope Ann 

Miller, who was the light of 

Robert De Niro's life in 

"Awakenings," stars, along 

with Tim Daly and veteran 

Frenchman Louis jourdan 

("Gigi"). The screenplay is by 

Oscar winner William Goldman 

("Misery"), while Peter 

Yates ("An Innocent Man") 

produces and directs. (Columbia) 

"The Last of the Mohicans" 

Daniel Day Lewis stars in this 

latest adaptation of lames 

Fennimore Cooper's novel. 

He plays Hawkeye, Cooper's 

mythic hero, who, during the 

French-Indian war in colonial 

America, draws the assignment 

of delivering two damsels 

to safety. What should set 

this one apart from previous 

versions— including the 1936 

classic starring Randolph 

Scott— is writer-director-producer 

Michael Mann, best 

known for the TV series 

"Miami Vice," who should 

give the goings-on a stylish 

gloss. (Fox) 

"White Men Can't 

Jump" 

Ron Shelton, who had a monumental 

success with baseball 

in "Bull Durham" and a minor 

failure with politics in 

"Blaze," returns to the arena 

of sports with this comic saga 

of two pickup basketball hustlers. 

"Cheers"' Woody 

Harrelson is the white man 

who can jump, while Wesley 

Snipes ("Jungle Fever") is his 

black buddy and teammate. 

Together, they join forces to 

take advantage of the golden 

rule of playground basketball: 

never pick the white guy. 

Rosie Perez and Tyra Ferrell 

co-star as their love interests, 

while former NBA players 

Marques Johnson, Freeman 

Williams and Nigel Miguel 

make their big screen debuts. 

(Fox) 

"A League of Their Own" 

Actress Debra Winger and director 

Penny Marshall, who 

were once slated to work together 

on "Peggy Sue Got 

Married," failed to make it to 

the alter again on this one. 

Winger was reportedly 

dumped due to artistic differences, 

including her displeasure 

over the fact that 

Madonna had been given a 

small supporting role. So, it's 

Geena Davis to the rescue, as 

the star of the feminist hit 

"Thelma and Louise" steps up 

to bat in this WWII era story of 

an all-woman's baseball 

team. Set to co-star are Tom 

Hanks and Tracy Reiner 

(daughter of Marshall and Rob 

Reiner). Marshall stays on to 

direct the script by Lowell 

Ganz and Babaloo Mandel 

("City Slickers"). 

"Fried Green Tomatoes at 

the Whistle Stop Cafe" A 

movie that hopes to disprove 

the Hollywoodism that only 

young, beautiful actresses 

score at the boxoffice. Kathy 

Bates and Jessica Tandy, the 

last two Best Actress Oscar- 

Kathy Bates 

winners for "Misery" and 

"Driving Miss Daisy," star as 

overweight Evelyn and octogenarian 

Ninny, two women 

whose bond is formed during 

visits in a Birmingham nursing 

home. Ninny tells Evelyn stories 

about the Whistle Stop 

Cafe in Alabama, where a 

spunky young woman (Mary 

Stuart Masterson) battled racism 

and sexism 50 years earlier. 

Inspired by these tales, 

Evelyn finds the strength and 

courage to change her own 

life. Jon Avnet directs the 

script he co-wrote with Fannie 

Flagg. (Universal) 

ACQUISITIONS: 

"Rock-A-Doodle" Don 

Bluth's ("An American Tail") 

animated fantasy rockabilly 

adventure, with bits of live action, 

about a kitten trying to 

save his family and their farm 

from a devastating flood. 

Voices include Glen Campbell, 

Ellen Greene, Sandy 

Duncan, Christopher Plummer 

and Charles Nelson 

Reilly. (Samuel Godlwyn) 

"Mindwalk" stars Liv Ul- 

Imann, Sam Waterston, John 

Heard and lone Skye in the 

story of a meeting between a 

scientist, a politician and a 

poet. The film is based on the

Fritjof Capra, and is directed 

by Bernt Capra, the novelist's 

brother and a veteran production 

designer who worked on 

"Bagdad Cafe." (Triton)

Lisa Pelikan. A Columbia release. (8/2) 

Harley Davidson and the 

Marlboro Man 

Mickey Rourke plays a philosophical 

biker (doesn't he always?) named Harley 

Davidson (what a coincidence...) who 

teams up with his best buddy, a rodeo rider 

(Don lohnson), to rob the bank that is foreclosing 

on their favorite hangout, the Rock 

Schwarzenegger looked like Danny 

DeVito. Sheldon Lettich directs the script

release. (8/9) 

Love Potion #9 

Dale Launer, who wrote "Ruthless People" 

and "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," makes 

a hard-boiled lady snoop who works the 

mean streets of Chicago. When an exhockey 

player is murdered, she's hired by 

the victim's 1 3 year old daughter to find the 

killer. Charles Durning co-stars. Jeff Kanew 

("Tough Guys") directs. A Buena Vista release.

Return to the Blue Lagoon 

)ust when you thought it was safe to go 

back to the shores of this uncharted desert 

isle. ..they're back. No, not Cilligan's 

gang— it's the son of the stranded young 

lovers from the original "Blue Lagoon" and 

a castaway girl. Naturally, they're both

Don Michael Paul's screenplay. An MGM 


The Doctor 

Director Randa Haines returns for the 

first time since "Children of a Lesser God," 

reteaming with that film's star, William 

Hurt, for the story of a successful surgeon 

whose life is turned upside-down when he 

finds out he has a cancerous growth on his 

vocal chords. Based on Dr. Edward 

Rosenbaum's novel "A Taste of His Own 

Medicine," this one promises to deliver its 

share of soul-searching and heart wrenching, 

along with ample doses of criticism 

aimed at the insurance industry and the 

medical community. A Buena Vista release.

his directorial debut with this comedy 

based on the hit song by Jerry Leiber and 

Mike Stoller. Paul (Tate Donovan) and 

Diane (Sandra Bullock) are a couple of 

scientists who have no luck with members 

of the opposite sex, and don't recognize the 

fact that they're made for each other. When 

Paul is given a love potion by a gypsy, he 

is skeptical— until his she-cat Cleo drinks a 

dose and attracts every tomcat in the neighborhood. 

If you can't guess the rest, give 

the old song a listen. A 20th Century Fox

Double Impact 

How many Jean-Claude Van Damme's 

does it take to equal one Arnold 

Schwarzenegger at the boxoffice? The producers 

of this one are hoping two is the 

answer. Van Damme plays twin brothers 

one raised on the brutal streets of Hong 

Kong, the other in a posh Beverly Hills 

mansion—who join forces to take on the 

Chinese mafia responsible for their parents' 

murder. Anyway, you can bet Van Damme

COVER STORY 

Atlantic Palace Glows in Alhambra 

Edwards' New Ten-Plex Offers State-of-the-Art 

Entertainment to California's San Gabriel Valley 

ON 

By Jeff Schwager 

Senior Editor 

THE SIDEWALK in front of the new 

Edwards Atlantic Palace Cinemas is 

a bronze plaque which reads, "City 

of Alhambra Historical Marker on site of 

Edwards Alhambra Twin Cinema, 

America's tlrst multi-screen theatre, 1939." 

This marker is the first clue as to why Jim 

Edwards, St.. the 84 year old patriarch of 

the Newport Beach-based Edwards Theatre 

chain, chose this location—on the corner of 

Alhambra's Atlantic and Main Streets, a 

stone's throw from Hollywood in the heart 

of Southern California's San Gabriel Valley—as 

the site of his new, state-of-the-art 

multiplex, a 10 screen complex that he immodestly 

advertises as "The most beautiful 

theatre in the world!" 

While fans of such old-fashioned structures 

as Radio City Music Hall and 

Hollywood's Chinese Theatre might argue 

Edwards" claim, there's no question that his 

Atlantic Palace Cinemas is a far cry from 

claustrophobic environment of 

the sterile, 

many of today's multiplexes. Indeed, it is 

reminiscent of the movie palaces of another 

generation. Stepping through its doorways, 

the first thing you notice is the grand 6,500 

square foot circular lobby, complete with 

golden pillars, multicolored neon designs 

and a 25 foot domed glass ceiling. Lit up at 

night, it has a glitzy, Hollywood-mod appeal 

that is a long way from the site's humble, 

albeit historical, beginnings. 

"Our first theatre was in Monterey Park, 

in 1930," Edwards says when asked about 

his chain's history and the importance of the 

Alhambra area to him. "And this was our 

second theatre, which we opened in Alhambra 

in 

1932. This was where we built the 

first multiplex theatre in the world. We took 

over the Alhambra Theatre in 1932, and in 

1939 we took over a building that was adjoining 

the Alhambra Theatre, which was a 

market, and made another theatre of it. And 

the entrance to the second theatre was 

through the entrance to the first theatre. So 

it had a common lobby, a common foyer, 

common restrooms, common facilities, 

common projection room, and that thus 

Edwards Allan lie I'liIlhc ( uicinas' grand lobby, with ilK 

made it the first twin theatres that had ever 

been done." 

That location became the mainstay of the 

Edwards chain until Mother Nature intervened, 

in the form of the earhshaking Whittier 

earthquake of 1987. Alhambra was just 

a few short miles from the epicenter, and by 

the time the rumbling stopped, the Alhambra 

Twin was no longer in any condition to 

host moviegoers. Edwards was naturally 

upset, until he came up with the idea of 

building a new and improved version of the 

original on the same site. Thus was born 

Edwards Atlantic Palace Cinemas, the 

chain's new flagship operation. 

Edwards was especially keen to build his 

most beautiful theatre in Alhambra because 

the municipality is his hometown. "I graduated 

from Alhambra High School in 

1925," Edwards exclaims proudly. "My 

wife went there too. My family grew up in 

Alhambra. My kids went to school there, 

and were raised there. I feel a very strong 

commitment to Alhambra. Because Alhambra 

is my hometown and because in a sense 

we were coming back to Alhambra after the 

theatre had been destroyed by the earthquake, 

I wanted to build the very best theatre 

that we possibly could. We wanted to 

rebuild what we lost in the earthquake, and 

do it 

even better than we had before." 

They've succeeded. The Edwards Atlantic 

Palace features 10 screens, all furnished 

with the very best equipment possible. That 

includes THX sound (in four of the audito-

riums), Dolby stereo (in all 10 spaces), a 

special system for hearing impaired patrons, 

as well as top of the line projection 

equipment. Each theatre is furnished with 

high-backed rocking chairs for maximum 

comfort, and all seats feature cup holder 

armrests. Yet in terms of design, each theatre 

is different, ranging from a stately, traditional 

design to what Atlantic Palace 

manager Vincent Chow refers to as "the 

Modem Art look." In between shows, customers 

are entertained by a variety of different 

muzak radio stations, picked up by a 

satellite dish on the roof and programmed 

to match the decor of the individual auditoriums. 

"A lot of our customers are repeat customers," 

Chow explains. "We know a lot of 

the customers by name, and they know us 

by name. Many of them have their own keys 

to the handicapped restrooms, so they don't 

have to trek upstairs. And because there are 

so many repeat customers, we wanted to 

make this place exciting and put a little 

extra energy into it. So one of the things we 

did was decorate our each of auditoriums 

1 00 percent different from each other. " 

The individual theatres range in size from 

just under 200 seats to just over 500 seats 

each screen is relatively large, and there are 

none of the shoebox size rooms that so 

many multiplexes favor. In the lobby, there 

are three concessions stands, with 1 2 registers. 

While on the day of our tour another 

part of the lobby was sectioned off for video 

games — "a big moneymaker," Chow 

says—that space was about to be cleared for 

a French pastry/cappuccino bar that would 

Inside one of Edwards Atlantic Palace's lush auditoriums 

Edwards Atlanlic Pcdace 's marquee 

serve delicacies for patrons who didn't want 

to settle for standard fare like popcorn and 

soda. Even without the gourmet concessions 

bar, food and beverage sales at the 

Atlantic Palace have been remarkabl v hish. 

averaging around $2.00 per patron. 

Attendance has likewise been far above 

expectations, approximately one-third 

higher than Edwards" projections. Which 

just goes to justify the expense Edwards put 

into his pet project: the complex cost more 

than $15 million, or three times more than 

an average 

10 screen location would cost 

the chain. The success of the Atlantic Palace 

will help fuel Edwards' continued expansion 

program. In the past six years, the chain 

has gone from having 67 screens to about 

300, with another hundred scheduled to 

open in the next three years. Locations 

range from the central California city of San 

Luis Obispo to the state's southernmost 

metropolis. San Diego. 

According to Chow, Edwards' philosophy 

is to put something back into the community, 

so that everyone benefits. In 

Alhambra, which has a large minority population 

("40-45 percent Asian, 35 percent 

Hispanic, and only about 20 percent anglo," 

Chow estimates) that has meant benefits for 

a couple of very worthy, and needy, causes. 

"Just to show you what kind of citizens 

we are," Chow says, "we've only been open 

for five weeks, and we had our first 

fundraiser for the tow n last week. This was 

a fundraiser for the police department building 

fund, and this one little evening raised 

$20,000. Next month we're having one for 

the YMCA, for which I serve on the board 

of directors. We did one last years for the 

YMCA and it went pretty well, so we 

thought we'd make it an annual event.

Alhambra," he continues, "has to be a focal 

point tor the community. We have the facilities, 

we have the exposure, we have to do 

our share of freebies for the community. 

You cannot keep taking money and not put 

something back. We're building a brand 

new YMCA, we've been trying to raise 

money for two-and-a-half years now. We 

went to Mr. Edwards, and he was very very 

generous, he gave us $50,000 towards the 

facility." 

The community is grateful—and so is the 

state. On September 7, 1990, to honor the 

Edwards chain's 60th anniversery and to 

celebrate the groundbreaking of what 

would eventually become the Atlantic Palace 

Cinemas, the State of California passed 

a resolution naming the day "James Edwards 

Day." At the ceremony. Edwards 

received awards and proclamations from 1 

different organizations in the San Gabriel 

Valley. 

For everyone involved it was quite a day, 

rivaled perhaps only by the day eight 

months later when the Atlantic Palace had 

its grand opening. On that day, Jim Edwards 

saw his dream theatre unveiled to the public, 

and he was rightfully proud. As Vincent 

Chow put it. 'I think someday, when we 

think of Jim Edwards, he would like the 

picture of this particular theatre passed in 

front of people's eyes." It's a very pretty 

picture indeed.

THE CADDY CUPHOLDER 

The Best Supporting Role hi The Auditorium 

PATENT PENDING 

The Caddy Is the out-of-the-way cupholder 

that permanently mounts bi'twoen most any 

two auditorium, arena, stadium, or theatre 

chairs The Caddy mounting design takes 

advantage of ivliiahic, unused, space where 

legs don't roam and building codes are not 

\-iolated The Caddy Cupholder greatly compliments 

concession sales when patrons 

realize the benefits of having a place to keep 

their beverage or snack. The Caddy not only 

offers comfort and convenience to the patron, 

it also significantly reduces clean-up 

time and maintenance costs to the facility. 

The Caddy Cupholder is available in any 

color and is tough enough to withstand all 

the abuse the public can give, we guarantee 

it. Comes complete with mounting hardware 

Fits all si/e drink cups This device 

drastically cuts down on spills! Promotes 

safety! Encourages concession sales!

NATIONAL NEWS 

Paramount, Orion Losses 

Stanley R. Jat'te, the newly appointed president 

and chief operating officer of Paramount, 

has nowhere to take the studio but up. 

The company posted losses of $55 million for 

its second quarter ending April 30, bringing 

six-month losses up to $62.3 million. Last 

year, the company had profits of $21 .2 million 

and $42.2 million at the three and six 

month marks. Industry experts blamed the 

heavy losses on the poor performance of such 

big-budget films as "The Godfather Part III" 

and "Another 48 Hours," and, perhaps more 

significantly, on the settlement of former chief 

Frank Mancuso's wrongful termination lawsuit. 

Although neither side has revealed the 

amount of the settlement, it is believed to have 

cost Paramount in the range of $22 million. 

(Shortly after the quarter's results were posted, 

the company's stock rose dramatically as rumors 

circulated about a leveraged buyout 

involving record mogul David Geffen; the 

rumors were denied by everyone involved). 

The studio hopes to be back in the black in 

the third quarter thanks to a solid summer 

lineup that includes "Soapdish," "Naked Gun 

2 1/2," "Regarding Henry" and "The Butcher's 

Wife." 

Over at troubled Orion, there's no such 

cause for optimism. For the year ended February 

28, the company posted a $63 million 

loss; the previous year, the company posted a 

profitof$15 million. The losses came in spite 

of two of the company's most successful fi Ims 

ever, "Dances With Wolves" and "The Silence 

of the Lambs," both of which earned 

more than $100 million in boxoffice grosses. 

Saddled with $500 million in longterm debt, 

the company announced it would begin an 

exchange offer for $285 million of its subordinated 

debt, creating more than 1 1 million 

new shares of stock. In a prepared statement, 

Orion president Bill Bernstein declared: "To 

preserve Orion's values and visibility, we 

must reduce our cash payment obligations. 

These exchange offers are the cornerstone of 

our plan to achieve that. If the offers are 

consummated, Orion's cash interest and principal 

requirements would be reduced by approximately 

$400 million through fiscal 

1998." Despite the fact that Orion has at least 

eight films in the can, only two— "Bill and 

Ted's Bogus journey" and "Mystery Date" 

are scheduled for summer release. 

Dolgen to Head Motion 

Picture Group at CPE 

Columbia Pictures Entertainment has appointed 

Jonathan Dolgen as president of its 

new Motion Picture Group. Dolgen, former 

head of Columbia Pictures, will take reports 

from both Columbia chairman Frank Price 

and Tri-Star chairman Mike Medavoy, and 

will himself be reporting to Alan Levine, president 

and CEO of CPE's Filmed Entertainment 

Croup. According to Dolgen, his appointment 

won't effect day to day decision making 

at either Columbia or Tri-Star; he emphasizes 

that Price and Medavoy will still have "complete 

and total autonomy." Some see Dolgen 

as a replacement of sorts for departed CPE 

co-chairman )on Peters, and expect him to 

work with chairman and CEO Peter Guber in 

devising longer-lead corporate strategies for 

the studio. For his part, Guber issued a statement 

saying, "|on Dolgen is one of the most 

exceptionally talented individuals in the entertainment 

industry today, and he brings an 

important strategic perspective to CPE's plans 

to become an ever-increasing force in the 

global marketplace." 

IVIore Warner Theatres 

in Europe 

In hopes of expanding its overseas exhibition 

operation to 500 screens by 1995, Time 

Warner announced it would be forming joint 

ventures across Europe. At a news conference 

in London, Warner Bros. International 

Theatres' president Salah Hassanein said he 

hoped to establish sights in Italy, Spain, Portugal 

and Holland, while adding screens in 

the LJnited Kingdom, Germany and Denmark. 

This latest announcement came on the heels 

of word that WB and the Japanese supermarket 

chain Nichii would be building 35 multiplexes 

in Japan in the next 5-7 years. 

Responding to questions about how parent 

Time Warner's corporate debt would effect 

his division's expansion, Hassanein said, 

"The cash flow from the cinemas we've already 

built provides a lot of the seed money 

we need. We don't have to pull up much 

money from the main office to expand." 

California Ticket Tax 

Shortly after the Los Angeles City Council 

dropped a proposed admissions tax that 

would have boosted the price of movie tickets 

by 10 percent, a proposal has been made in 

California that would make theatre tickets 

subject to state sales tax. The state budget 

conference committee has already agreed to 

raise the sales tax, which has never before 

been applied to theatre admissions, from 4.75 

percent to 6 percent in coming months. With 

various city and county sales taxes thrown in, 

that would make the admissions tax as high 

as 8.25 percent in some areas, including Los 

Angeles. 

However, leaders from NATO and the Alliance 

of Motion Picture and Television Producers 

are hopeful that such longtime 

industry friends as Governor Pete Wilson, 

Senate president pro-tem David Robert! and 

assembly speaker Willie Brown will head off 

the tax extension. California NATO president 

Tim Warner has expressed fears that allowing 

the sales tax to apply to theatre admission 

would set a precedent for other slates; both 

Connecticut and Nevada are reportedly considering 

similar measures. As Alliance government 

affairs director Kathleen Milnes put 

it, "We have to be very vigilant and figure out 

a way to use the city's decision to convince 

the legislature that this is not a viable or 

acceptable option." 

AI\/IC, GCC Profits 

AMC Entertainment Inc. announced that it 

would turn a profit in the quarter and fiscal 

year that ended on March 28, a strong reversal 

from last year's losses. The 1618 screen circuit, 

the nation's second largest, estimated 

profits between $500,000 and $1.5 million 

for the fourth quarter and between $4 million 

and $5 million for the year. Last year, AMC 

posted fourth quarter losses of $23.7 million, 

and yearly losses of $1 5.8 million. Total revenues 

were up from $4 1 6.3 million to $448.5 

million, an increase of 7 .1 percent. 

Noting that the company would have 

turned a profit last year if it hadn't been for 

disputed IRS payments. Chief Financial Officer 

Steven P. Zell announced optimistically, 

"This is the second year of a trend of improvement." 

The chain also announced the sale of 

eight theatres, with 45 screens, to Carmike 

Cinemas. According to president and vice 

chairman Edward D. Durwood, the theatres 

are located in Alabama, Colorado, Florida, 

Kentucky, North Carolina, Tenessee and Virginia, 

and their sale is "in keeping with AMC's 

strategy to reduce debt and continue its selected 

expansion program." 

Meanwhile, General Cinema Corp. announced 

glowing results for its 1473 seat 

theatre circuit for its second quarter, which 

ended April 30. General Cinema Theatres had 

a profit of $2.3 million for the quarter, compared 

to a $3.2 million loss for the same 

period last year. Revenues rose 7.5 percent, 

from $101.7 million to $109.3 million. CEO 

Richard Smith said in a prepared statement 

that he expected the trend to continue: "Based 

on our expectations of a good supply of summer 

pictures, our theatre business is expected 

to show improved operating results in the 

second half of fiscal 1991 over the comparable 

period last year." 

Preservation Rulings 

Congress is expected to pass new National 

Film Registry legislation this year, but the 

measure is expected to fall far short of what 

some in the film industry, particularly the 

Directors Guild, had hoped for. The new bill 

would keep Librarian of Congress James 

Billington in charge of choosing 25 historically 

significant films for registration each 

year, but would not force film studios or 

broadcasters to label those films as "materially 

altered" if "panned-and-scanned," timecompressed 

or heavily edited. (If films are 

colorized, they must carry the label). In 

France, where directors are considered the 

author of their films and are protected by 

government guaranteed artist's rights, the 

DGA and the French Directors Guild recently 

won a major "moral victory" when the French 

Supreme Court placed a broadcast ban on the 

colorized version of John Huston's "The Asphalt 

Jungle." The DGA's Elliot Silverstein 

issued a statement praising the French decision 

and criticizing the fact that Huston "will 

have more moral rights in France than in his 

own country."

Product Placement Probe 

Tilt* VVjitiintjlon L).C-bd5.etl cuiiûmfr 

group Center for the Study of Commercialisni 

has filed a petition with the Federal Trade 

Commission ret|uesting a probe of prixlucl 

placement in major studio films. According to 

CSC, product placement—whereby a company 

pays to have its merchandise mentioned 

in a film—was abused in five of the six lop 

grossing films of 1990. In "Ghost," "Pretty 

Woman," "Home Alone," "Teenage Mutant 

Ninja Turtles" and "Total Recall," the group 

claims, 1 1 I different brand names were mentioned 

a total of 1-48 times. One specific example 

of product placement cited by the 

group was the use of Lark cigarettes by lames 

Bond m the last 007 film, "Licence to Kill," for 

which MCM/LIA was reportedly paid 

$350,000. CSC is recommending that films 

with significant product placement should he 

required to show disclaimers, prior to the film 

reading, "The motion picture you are about to 

see contains paid advertisements lor following 

products or companies..." 

May Boxoffice Down 

(ulluuing the usual seasonal pattern, 

boxoffice totals were predictably slight in 

May, marking the second consecutive month 

that grosses were down from 1 990. According 

to Daily Variety, boxoffice in May dropped 1 

percent from last year, from $366.9 million to 

$327.4 million, continuing the trend begun 

with a weak April. Total 1 99 1 Ixjxolfice 

grosses through the end of the month were 

$1.77 billion, up just a fraction from last year's 

$ 1 .76 billion. Perhaps the most disappointing 

performer for the month was Tri-Star's Brute 

Willis comedy-adventure "Hudson Hawk," 

which viewers apparently found neither funny 

nor exciting— it brought in a dismal $11.6 

million in its first ten days of release. A list of 

the month's strongest |x>rtormers included 

two Buena Vista titles, "What About Bob?" 

and "Oscar," as well as Universal's "Backdraft."

Four Seasons Throws in 

the Towel 

It's official: troubled independent distributor 

Four Seasons Entertainment announced 

that they would be closing up shop in late July 

due to a lack of funds. The company was best 

known for distributing quirky films such as 

"Rosalie Goes Shopping" and "Perfectly Normal," 

as well as the El Salvadoran political 

drama "Romero." According to company 

president Peter Meyers, Four Seasons is being 

forced to shut down because the German 

company Funk & Partner reneged on an 

agreement to put up $5 million in capital. 

Meyers, a 40-year industry distribution veteran 

who worked at 2()lh Century Fox and 

Hemdale, said there was an outside chance 

he'd be able to restart the company with 

another investor, but more likely, "We'll 

throw in the towel." 

United Artists Theatres increased the special 

admission fees for senior citizens and 

children at all its theatres in this region. The 

price was increased from $3.50 to $3.75. The 

price of $3. 50 still holds at all AMC Theatres. 

At General Cinema Corp (GCC) Theatres, it's 

still $3.50 for senior citizens and children at 

all times and $3.75 for all shows before 6 p m 

for everybody.

MIDWEST NEWS 

MILWAUKEE, Wl 

A new life 

looms ahead for the (shuttered) 

Modjeska Theatre, which with 2,000 seats 

was once one of Milwaukee's largest neighborhood 

film palaces. Located on the city's 

south side, it closed its doors nearly two years 

ago. Now, however, a theatrical set designer, 

Stewart lohnson, has contracted with United 

Artists theatre circuit to buy the house and 

make a few changes, lohnson plans to divide 

some of the indoor area into three small 

movie theatres with approximately 250 to 

300 seats each. The original stage, plus a 

seating area for about 600, will be turned into 

a summer stock theatre company for teenagers. 

The theatres will be ready to open this 

month. The stage playhouse will open later. 

Marcus Theatres is seeking approval to add 

two more screens to the six-screen North 

Shore Cinemas, which opened seven months 

ago on Port Washington Rd. in Ozaukee 

County. Saying he was pleased with the patronage 

from local theatre-goers, Marcus Theatres 

president Bruce Olson stressed that the 

extra screens will permit the theatre to present 

even more variety in film fare than is presently 

offered. Initially, the company had wanted to 

build a 10-screen theatre but neighborhood 

residents objected, claiming that a multiscreen 

cinema would cause more traffic congestion 

in the area as more and more people 

from outside the community attended showings. 

The result was a reduction from the 

originally planned 10-screen 2,000 seat theatre 

complex to the present six-screen 1 ,378 

seat complex. The Marcus request will go 

before the Ozaukee County Planning Commission 

this luly. Marcus presently owns and 

operates 178 movie theatres which incjude 

seveal 10-screen complexes.

The theatre now has three screens. Owners

contest for which contestants brought

NEW ORLEANS, LA 

The last free-standing outdoor boxoffice in 

New Orleans was destroyed recently when an 

out-of-control car smashed into the structure 

located in front of the Downtown Joy Theatre 

on Canal Street. Fortunately, no one was in 

the alfresco ticket booth when the collision 

occurred. However, the impact and noise of 

the accident caused movie patrons inside the 

theatre to scurry to the exits. According to the 

theatre manager, when the new boxoffice is 

built it will be incorporated into the existing 

structure of the theatre. 

With the lack of films opening this summer 

that are geared toward children, local theatres 

here have been offering special children's

Theatres are offering a summer-long, 

one-day-a-week run of kids' films as part of 

their Summer Movie Camp program with 

Pepsi Cola. Meanwhile, Metairie's Lakeside

WESTERN NEWS 

LOS ANGELES, CA 

In the heart of what has now been designated 

Hollywood's "Cinema District"—a portion 

of Hollywood Blvd. that also includes 

Mann's Chinese Theatre and Pacific's Egyptian 

Theatre—the landmark 65-year-old El 

Capitan Theatre has now been restored to its 

original grandeur. Built in 1926 as a legitimate 

stage house, the El Capitan was renovated in 

1942 and renamed the Paramount Theatre. 

Showing films until two years ago, the theatre 

has been undergoing restoration through a 

partnership of Walt Disney and Pacific Theatres 

(who had owned the Paramount). Plans 

originally called for the theatre to be divided 

in two and an art deco interior installed. But 

then, persuaded by the landmark status of the 

El Capitan and groups such as Hollywood 

Heritage, the Los Angeles Historic Theatre 

Foundation and the L.A. Conservancy, Disney 

and Pacific Theatres decided to restore the 

house to its original elegance, including its 

Italian Baroque facade and lobby, its English 

Tudor design in the wood-paneled lower 

lobby and its East Indian design in the main 

auditorium. For its grand opening, the El 

Capitan sneak-previewed Disney's "The 

Rocketeer" and hosted a gala block party for 

those patrons who were quick enough to 

purchase admission tickets. The El Capitan 

holds the distinction of being the only theatre 

of its kind in Los Angeles ever to be restored 

as a motion picture palace. The theatre features 

35mm and 70mm films, a 42 foot by 20 

foot screen as well as state-of-the-art projection 

equipment and THX and Cinema Digital 

Sound capabilities.

undertaken by Cineplex Odeon, an adjoining 

eight-plex project belonging to United Artists 

Theatres, along with the building of an

Odeon at Triangle Square in Costa Mesa. In 

addition, Edwards took over Mann Theatres'

TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY 

Starring Anwid Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong. 

Robert Patrick. Earl Boen and Joe Morton. 

Produced and directed by James Cameron. Written by James 

Cameron and William Wisher. 

A Tri-Star Pictures release. Science fiction, rated R. Running 

time: 135 min. Screening date: 6/26/91. 

What would you do if you had $70 milhon to spend? Begin by 

buying a really cool car. and you've still got $69.9 million to spare. 

Buy your dream house, and you've still got about $68 million left. 

What then? Airlift the Kurdish refugees out of Iraq? Feed the nation's 

homeless for a year' Help out the government with the federal 

deficit? The possibilities boggle the mind. 

Or you could just make a movie. Let's see; with that kmd of 

budget? You could hire Schwarzenegger to star, and you'd want a 

director who knew how to put all that money up on the screen— say, 

Jim Cameron, the guy who made "Aliens" and "The Abyss." Wait 

a minute... Arnold and Cameron worked together before, on "The 

Terminator," the 1984 low-budget sci-fi thriller that made a mint and 

that's ripe for a sequel. Of course, Mario. "Terminator 2"! 

Well, something like that. Thanks to the massive wallet of 

Carolco's Mario Kassar, we've finally got "Terminator 2," and the 

good news is its every bit as good as its hype. If it's possible for $70 

million to be "up there" on the screen, it is. If it's possible to put a 

pacifist message into a movie in which the hero machine-guns a 

well-meaning security guard's kneecaps, then Cameron's done it. 

it's possible for an ultra-violent sci-fi action adventure to gross over 

$200 million domestically. "T2" will do it. 

The blockbuster of the year has already flexed its muscles with 

more than $115 million at the boxoffice in two weeks' time. 

The time is roughly 12 years after the events depicted in "The 

Terminator." Sarah Connor ( Linda Hami Iton ), the heroine of the first 

film, has given birth to John (Edward Furlong), the child destined to 

save mankind from the supercomputer Skynet in the year 2029. 

Unfortunately, she's been committed to an asylum as a result of her 

ravings about the pending apocalypse, and John, a young computer 

whiz living with foster parents, spends his spare time using his 

mechanical know-how to rip off automated teller machines. 

Meanw hile. in 2029. Skynet is still trying to get rid of John before 

he can do any damage. So a new model Terminator, a T-IOOO 

(Robert Patrick), is dispatched back in time to deal with the potential 

troublemaker. But Connor, circa 2029. has a trick up his sleeve: he's 

captured a T-800. the kind of Terminator that tried to do away with 

his mother before he was born, and he's reprogrammed it to protect 

his younger self. The trouble is that John's Terminator (Schwarzenegger) 

is no match for the T-1000, which is capable of turning 

liquid, is indestructible, and can replicate anything it touches. 

The two terminators are sent back in time and the race is on. 

Arnold gets his clothes from a biker after destroying a rough and 

R-48 Boxoffice 

n 

If 

tumble bar, while the T-1000 steals a police uniform, giving him the 

upper hand in acquiring information. As luck would have it, Arnold 

finds John first, and from there the story turns into a high-tech "My 

Bodyguard," with Arnold forced to follow the boy's commands and 

John learning valuable lessons about power and responsibility. They 

break Sarah out of the asylum, and from there she leads them on a 

mission to try to destroy Skynet before it is created 

In retrospect, the plot is fairly predictable, but Cameron and 

company are so adept at high tension action sequences that there's 

never really time to think about what's going to happen next. The 

film is one long roller coaster ride, a non-stop chase that pits John, 

Sarah and their Terminator against the T-1000. Though Cameron 

doesn't spend a great deal of time on character development, he's 

able to get the essentials down quickly and maintain them throughout. 

Sarah has spent the years since John's birth preparing him for 

the end of the world and turning him into a military leader. After her 

incarceration. John is disillusioned and ashamed, and he's turned 

into something of a rebel. And the terminators are, of course, 

terminators—singlemindedly focused on their preprogrammed missions. 

Hamilton registers the film's strongest performance as Sarah, 

exuding the maternal ferocity of a lioness; in her battle to save her 

son. and ultimately mankind, she's become as focused as the terminators. 

Her face is leaner and more savage than in the first film, and 

her body has the damp, muscular look of a female athlete. Furlong 

does decent work as young John, though Cameron and co-writer 

William Wisher have given him some hip teen mannerisms that seem 

decidedly awkward. Schwarzenegger isn't called on to do much 

acting, but his deadpan seriousness is always good for a chuckle and 

his reading of the line, "Asta I'avista, Baby," is bound to be this 

year's most repeated catch phrase. For his part. Patrick plays the 

T-1000 with deadly calm and a countenance that looks like a cross 

between Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen. 

But the real star of the film is Cameron, who has loaded "T2" with 

a slew of state-of-the-art effects and stunts. Particulariy stunning are 

the liquid effects involving the T-1000, which are derived from less 

successful but similar visuals in "The Abyss." With "T2," the 

filmmaker has proven many things, not least of which is that a $70 

million film can justify that kind of budget if it's done with style and 

spectacle. "Terminator 2" isn't likely to make many film scholars 

forget "Citizen Kane." but it is likely to make a fortune. And that's 

all the man who put up the $70 million wanted. Right, Mario?

REGARDING HENRY 

Starring Harrison Ford. Annette Bening. Mikki Allen and Bill 

Nunn. 

Produced by Scott Rudin and Mike Nichols. Directed hy Mike 

Nichols. Written by Jeffrey Abrams. 

A Paramount Release. Drama. Rated PC- 13. Running time: 107 

min. Screening date: 7/8/91. 

This film, about a scuzzbucket's transcendental rebirth into a 

complete, albeit childlike human being, is almost good enough—almost 

convincing enough—to make you want to go out and get shot. 

Almost. 

This more-than-mainstream melodrama opened with an impressive 

(for a summer drama) $7,803 per screen and shows 

signs of a long boxoffice stay. 

That's what happens to the slick, high-powered, yet somewhat 

sleazy. New York lawyer, Henry, one night when he tries to weasel 

out of handing over his wallet to a contrived plot device—excuse 

me, a robber holding up a liquor store. The robber shoots Henry in 

the head; and when Henry wakes up from his coma, he can't talk, he 

can't walk and he can't remember anything; job, friends, family 

nada, zilch. His mental slate's been wiped clean.

i ^ 

— 

Tlie film follows Henry's physical and emotional rcco\er> 

through a seines of fast, quick scenes convenienil) designed to play 

off the intrixiuctory passages of Heni^ before the gunshot, highlighting 

the positive cli.i 

: 

character. Henry, previously self-confident, 

is. in this inciriution. afraid to leave the hospital. Once a 

worldly man whose marriage was a sham, the new Henry doesn't 

mind showing affection for his wife in public And spilling orange 

juice on the piano ' Where once he chastised his daughter for such 

an accident — hey. now it's fine. It happens all the time. Before, he 

didn't mind suppressing vital evidence if it meant winning a case; 

now he... you get the idea. 

The problem with "Regarding Henry" is that it's too calculated 

for its own gixxl. Life's a messy affair w ith loose ends that are never 

w rapped up. but here the loose ends are knotted in all the right places. 

For making dramatic irony so obvious that e\en Henry at his 

dimmest could understand it, the screenwriter, the director, and the 

editor should be condemned to spill their orange juice glasses 

forever. And never, ever to get all the sticky stuff off their tables 

Even so. the viewer may find himself amused by the ironies w hich 

scriptwriter Abrams has contrived, and by the sense of extreme 

realism that Nichols and his actors bring to the proceedings. Ford is 

sufficiently excellent to earn serious Oscar consideration, even if so 

much of Henry's former persona has been shed in his rebirth that 

this whole transformation business comes across like a fairy tale. 

(Don'tcha think some of the scu//bucket's personality would have 

clung to his brain'). Bening is okay in the obligatory stand-by-herman-although-shc-doesn't-know-him-anymore 

role, and .Mien, 

w ith her simple and direct performance as daughter Rachel, manages 

to rise above her straightforward material. Bill Nunn delivers his 

cliched dialogue in his rt)le as a happy physical therapy nurse with 

such great sincerity that, like Henry, the viewer misses him when 

he's not around. 

In the final analysis, Henry and his story are just special enough 

to warrant the viewer's attention. It may not be an. it may not be 

exciting cinema trash, but it is gcnid craft, and sometimes craft will 

do in a pinch.

BARTON FINK 

Slisriiiii; Jitlin liiiuiini. John Goodnuin. Judy Davis. Michael 

Lemer. John Mahoney and Jon Poliio. 

Produced h\ Ethan Cocn. Directed by Joel Coen. Written by Joel 

Coen and Ethan Coen. 

A Twentieth Century Fox release. Comedy, rated R. Running time: 

1 10 min. Screening date: 6/2(WI. 

"Barton Fink" is a comedy that will make your hair stand up 

well, maybe not to the extent that Barton's hair stands up. but pretty 

close. Actually. Barton's hair looks to be trying to get away from 

him. .And given his life, this seems a smart move. Barton Fink's 

(John Turturro) life begins—and begins to turn into a horror show 

when he's recruited from New York (after having written a successful 

Broadway play) to come to Hollywood in 1941 to write for the 

"pictures." Barton is a self-absorbed, full-of-himself little worm w ho 

liHiks for cracks in sky and looks happy only when he finds them. 

But even he doesn't deserve what awaits him in Hollywotxl. The 

Coen brothers ("Blood Simple." "Raising Arizona" and "Miller's 

Crossing") are telling us something, and it's as plain as the unhappy 

hair on Barton's head; HoIUwikhJ is a metaphorical hell-hole. Il 

not real enough to be true; instead, it's a bad dream you never shake 

Into this hole stumbles Barton, not knowing what he's about u-

of fire in the air—and on the screen—because this is, after all, 

Hollywood. There is Barton's creepy hotel room where the wallpaper 

sweats and peels off the wall as if someone inside were pushing 

it 

out. And there's the picture above Barton's writing desk: it's of a 

girl with her back turned to us who sits on the sand looking out at 

the ocean. So we know that Barton embodies horror and calm and 

perplexity—and everything else you're supposed to embody when 

you have writer's block, or when your writer's block ends only after 

you find yourself shocked in the midst of your own (yes, metaphorical) 

hell-hole. 

"Barton Fink" took top honors at the Cannes Film Festival this 

year, distinguishing itself as the only film in the Festival's 44-year 

history to nab the Palme d'Or ( Best Picture ), the Best Director Award 

and the Best Actor Award (to John Turturro). European film tastes 

have not always matched those of American audiences, so it's iffy 

that "Barton Fink" will find a wide audience in this country, given 

its dark sensibility and its cinematic smartness that is so funny it's 

almost violent. "Barton Fink" is a visionary work, and the Coen 

Brothers seem destined to carve their imprint (blaze might a better 

word) on American cinema. But whether or not our audiences en 

masse will catch on to this brilliance is another story— perhaps not 

unlike the story that Barton Fink has trouble writing. 

Rated R for violence. Marilyn Moss 

ROBIN HOOD 

Slarriiig Kevin Costlier. Morgan Freeman. Alan Rickman, Mary 

Elizabeth Mastranlonio and Christian Slater. 

Produced b\ John Watson. Pen Densham and Richard B. Lewis. 

Directed h\ Kevin Reynolds. Story by Pen Densham. Screenplay by 

Pen Densham and John Watson. 

A Wanter Brothers release. Adventure-drama, rated PG- 1 3. Running 

Time: 143 min. Screening date: 6/1 1/91. 

The viewer who arrives at the theatre with deeply-set preconceptions 

about the "Robin Hood" he wants to see—for example, if he's 

expecting a retread of Curtiz's and Keighley's 1938 classic starring 

Errol Flynn in his happy-go-lucky "Welcome to Sherwood" mode 

is bound to be disappointed, for the new "Robin Hood: Prince of 

Thieves" is a very different film indeed. Still, if you relax and permit 

the film to work its sprawling, clunky magic, then you're bound to 

be pleasantly surprised—and you'll likely will find yourself captivated 

by its sprawling, clunky spell. 

Despite mixed reviews, this swashbuckler bull's-eyed its opening 

weekend with an impressive $25 million, with a per screen 

average of $10,81 7. Spotty acting and scripting hasn 't kept the 

hit from amassing over $100 million at the boxoffice. 

In many ways the classic re-tellings of the Robin Hood legend are 

flat and two-dimensional compared with such varied modern excursions 

into medieval life as"Virgin Spring," "Robin and Marian," 

"Excalibur" and — yes, it belongs on this list— "Monty Python and 

the Holy Grail," which all make the point that life during medieval 

times was often squalid, short, and nasty. The most inherently decent 

folks could be ignorant and cruel. The noblemen answered only to 

their king. The church was powerful and greedy, hardly a champion 

of the downtrodden. And the common man was destined to remain 

common; the concept of social mobility wasn't due to catch on for 

another eight hundred years. 

So it's no wonder that back in the good old days before the 

Awakening, a whole slew of legends arose about a defrocked nobleman 

who lived in the woods with his band of merry but heterosexual 

men, who stole from the rich and gave to the poor, and who restored 

order to the land in a time of chaos when King Richard was 

absent—off fighting the heathen hordes in the Crusades, to be exact. 

But the actual Robin (a Robert Hood, taught to shoot the bow and 

arrow by his father, Adam) lived two hundred years later, during the 

corrupt regimes of Edward I and II; and while he lived in the woods. 

he wasn't a defrocked nobleman—he was a commoner with charisma. 

According to the royal ledgers, he sold out for a time, living 

in court and drawing a regular salary, until apparently he couldn't 

tolerate the corruption anymore and took off for the foggy English 

countryside. 

Those legends were all but forgotten after a few hundred years, 

until Sir Walter Scott revived Robin Hood as a guest star in 

"Ivanhoe," thus beginning the Robin craze anew. Since then the 

character has been the star of movies, television, animation, both 

children and adult books and comics. It seems everyone who's ever 

been a child has a fixed idea of who Robin was, what he looked like, 

how he behaved and who should play him in a modern, big time 

swashbuckling summer blockbuster movie. Most people would 

probably prefer a resurrected, youthful Olivier-type, but a more 

historically accurate Robin would be a working class type like Bob 

Hoskins or Paul LeMat. Better we should settle for Kevin Costner. 

When we first see Robin in this \crsion. he's greasy and hairy and 

is the prisoner in a Muslim dungeon. Has been for five years, in fact, 

after being captured during the Crusades. As we grow to understand 

from the back-story given in dips and drabs throughout the film, he's 

also a changed man. Thanks to his ordeal of fire and ignoble disgrace 

at the hands of the infidel, he's grown from an insensitive, headstrong 

bully to a sensitive, headstrong champion who understands 

that a man's nobility is derived not from his lineage but from the 

worth of his deeds. And he's about to prove his point by volunteering 

to have his hand chopped off 

Robin makes his escape with the assistance of the condemned 

Muslim, Azeem (Morgan Freeman, who practically blows the rest 

of the cast off the screen) . Since Robin has saved his life, Azeem is 

obligated to save Robin's and so follows him to England. There 

Robin finds a gang of bullies hounding a youth whose only crime 

has been to kill deer to eat. After dispatching the bullies in a brief 

fight, he finds his father's castle sacked and his half-decomposed 

father dangling from a rope. Because his father was condemned for 

worshipping the devil, all his lands were forfeited: they now belong 

to the Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman). 

Robin and Azeem escape into the theoretically haunted Sherwood 

Forest, and anybody who can't figure out the plot from here has 

either missed out altogether on his cinema history or his childhood. 

The trick scriptwriters Densham and Watson have tried to master is 

how to update a familiar story while attempting to bring a new level 

of realism to the proceedings—all in the interest of ringing interesting 

changes on familiar characters and situations. Consequently 

Little John is a lovable lug of a man with eight children, and his 

dowdy but spunky wife, Fanny, turns out to be just as much a fireball 

in a fight as is the feisty Maid Marian (Mary Elizabeth Mastranlonio) 

when we first meet her. 

Certainly problematic and controversial is Alan Rickman's assailment—no 

other word comes close—of the role of the Sheriff of 

Nottingham. This guy not only mugs while he chews the scenery but 

laughs in our faces while he spits it out. Rickman's dialogue is as 

deliciously droll as is that belonging to his first great performance 

as the villain-you-love-to-hate in "Die Hard;" but in this film he plays 

his part broadly, replete with snarls, temper tantrums and stamping 

feet. It seems that the writers, director Reynolds—and Rickman 

himself—have gone overboard here. Still, there is a method behind

and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. thus ensuring that boys and girls. 

men and women, and gays and straights and whathave-you have 

someone interesting to kxik at most of the time. It may not be the 

best film this summer. It may not make the most money. Anyone 

who expected another movie may hate it. And all the people who 

don't know that medieval British folk culture was just a few generations 

away from the rampant worshipping of idols may wonder 

what all that New .Age stuff is doing in the set designs 

All those people aren't giiing to understand the sprawling magic: 

but enough people will appreciate this "Robin Hixxi" for a gcHnJ 

word to get around. And even if it never achieves the classic status 

that certain viewers might have wished for. the film will, in time, 

age like many other films critically and popularly lambasted while 

going on to become all-time favorites. Films like "The Good, the 

Bad. and the Ugly" and "Blade Runner." Films like "The Wizard of 

O/." 

Films that age like fine wines while their competition sours 

into stale Ciwrs Lite. In this tradition, "Robin Hood: Prince of 

Thieves" will last. 

Rated PG- 1 3 for violence.

better or worse, as a fitting summary of the film. Like Wayne's best 

films. "Backdraft" serves up awesome doses of larger than life 

heroics and celluloid thrills. .And like Wayne's worst films, it is 

jam-packed with moronic plot contrivances and cardboard characterizations 

Expert pyrotechnics and cinematography couldn't rouse the 

dying embers of cardboard characters and a flimsy storyline: 

"Backdraft. " after opening with a fine $15 million weekend, fell 

slowly but surely at the boxoffice. stopping at $711 million. 

Both Ihe praise and the blame can be laid squarely on Howard's 

— shoulders "Backdraft " has all the earmarks of his rapidly developing 

style, particularly in its emphasis on family values (despite an R 

rating) and "Aw shucks" philosophizing. The script, by former 

fireman Greaorx Widen, is ideallv suited to How ard's slick shallowness: 

they've taken the subject of fire fighting and grafted onto it .i 

whole slew of ino\ie cliches, btirrowing from films like "Top Gun." 

"Days of Thunder"" and even "The Silence of the Lambs."" as well .i^ 

the .iclion classics of their youth. 

The film tells the story of the brothers McCaffrey. Stephen (Kun 

Russell I and Brian (William Baldwin). In a brief prologue, we learn 

that their father (also played by Russell) was a fireman killed in iho 

line of duty . a tragedy witnessed by young Bnan. Cut to twenty ye.ii - 

later: 

Stephen, a dead ringer for dad. has followed in the old man\ 

fiH)tsieps. He"s the best fireman in the business. iniuitiveK know iml' 

exactly how to handle every critical situation, except — you guesscil 

It — the one between him and his wile (Rebecca De Momay). Brian 

on the other hand, has floated from job to job. unable to escape his 

destiny as a fireman; finally, he returns to Chicago to join the famiK 

business. Stephen, however, doesn't want his kid brother on tlu 

force, he doesn't think Brian has what it takes, and, as his commanil 

ing officer, he plans to make his job miserable. 

Meanwhile, somewhere in the city is a maniacal arsonist who i^ 

using contained fires—backdrafts, which explode w ith tremendous 

force but burn out without causing extensive damage—to kill oil 

business partners of a criKiked alderman (J T. Walsh). Brian, wlui 

can't win his brother's approval and who is sleeping with the 

alderman's assistant (Jennifer Jason Leigh), gets himself assigned 

to assist the arson expert (Robert De Nirol investigating the fires 

the course of their investigation they seek out the help of a cra/cJ 

arsonist (Donald Sutherland), the Hannibal Lechterof fire. 

There are really three films here: first is the spectacular epic oi 

firemen at work; second is the intimate drama about two brothciv 

and the women in their lives; and third is a mystery about a murderci 

whose weapon is lire. Only the first one really works— Howaul 

clearly has a love for pyrotechnics and a passion for the technic.il 

challenges of filming fire fighting. The relationships fail miserabis 

they're never given time to develop, and as a result the filmmakei-- 

resort to soap operatic shortcuts. And the mystery feels tacked on to 

give direction to an otherwise aimless film. 

It's too bad. because, for the most part. Ihe actors bring a genuine 

intensity to their performances. Russell is especially gixxl. contrast 

ing Stephen's professional confidence with the confusion and pain 

of his personal life. Baldwin's performance is good nalurcd hiil 

slight; he comes off as a less dangerous, more loveable version d 

his brother Alec. Best of all are Sutherland—whose twinklint' 

maniacal arsonist gives the film a sense of danger that it is otherw iso 

missing—and De Niro. whose understated authority as the invesii 

gator is reminiscent of Spencer Tracy. 

Hans Zimmer's score and Mikael Salomon's cinematography arc 

both excellent, and technically it's hard to imagine a more impress 

ive film. But it seems a shame that so much expertise and qualilv 

work w as w asted on so slight a script. Like the backdrafts that ga\ e 

Howard .ind \Siden (heir title, their movie explodes with a visu.il 

force and brilliance hut consumes itself very quickly—certainly long 

before its two plus hours arc up.

SOAP DISH 

Shirroig Sall\ I icld. Kevin Kline. Whoopi Goldberg. Robert 

Downey. Jr.. Cathy Moriarty and Elisabeth Shue. 

Produced by Aaron Spelling and Alan Greisman. Directed h\ 

Michael Hoffman. Written by Robert Harling andAndrew Bergnuin 

A Paramount release. Comedy, rated PG-13. Running time: '>'< 


"Soapdish" is a whimsical tour-de-forcc of dishing the dirt on T\ 

soaps. And while it delivers the din it promises, this film offer', 

much, much more in the way of frothy irreverence, no doubt ow inj: 

to the wacky wisecracks of co-writer Andrew Bergman (directorwriter 

of ""The Freshman"") who. it is said, came onto the project and 

geared up the script. "Soapdish" is a veritable buffet of delectable 

performances and hilarious turn-abouts that gives new meaning in 

the collision of light-heartedness and impish mud-slinging. 

Sally Field is soap star Celeste Talbcrt, a woman who's trying not 

to lose it on the set of ""The Sun Also Sets" as her personal life comes 

apart and she confronts her ego-in-crisis as female lead on this

popular soap. Celeste is—make that, was?—America's soap-sweetheart, 

but now things look a httle iffy. To put it plainly, she is in her 

forties, a deadly time for women in front of the camera. Hot on her 

heels is Montana Moorehead (Cathy Moriarty (so stunning as Vicki 

La Motta in Scorsese's 1980 "Raging Bull"), a bitchy female rival 

who's out for Celeste's blood (and job) and who's using the show's 

slimy young producer (Robert Downey. Jr.) to get her way. 

A sob sister at the hoxoffice, this critically well-received soap 

opera spoof opened with an above average $6.7 million, then 

quickly fell before the onslaught of bigger summer hits. The 

bubbly comedy topped out at $32 million. 

As if things weren't bad enough, in walks Celeste's erstwhile 

lover of twenty years ago. Jeffrey Anderson ( Kevin Kline), who after 

having been ousted by Celeste from "The Sun Also Sets" twenty 

years ago (when she still had clout, that is)—and after all the years 

trying to make a career yet having to settle for playing Willy Loman 

to obnoxious dinner club audiences— is called back to flesh out some 

hairbrained plot that will add a little lather to the show's ratings. 

Celeste has a huge secret she's been hiding from Jeffrey and from 

the world—and now all hell's abiiut to erupt. 

As Celeste. Sally Field shows us a wickedly funny side we've 

never seen before. She can be bitchy; she can be as egomaniacal as 

her character needs her to be. There's a Sally in there no one's even 

imagined existed. As Jeffrey. Kevin Kline is. of course, an electrifying 

blend of lunacy and attitude, making it obvious—as if we 

needed to be reminded— that comedy is, indeed, his strong suit. Add 

to this Whoopi Goldberg's Rose Schwartz, the head writer on the set 

and the only stable presence in all this lunacy. Whoopi is territlcally 

watchable and—as usual—terrifically funny. 

"Soap Dish" has a frenetic pace at times and a surrealistic set 

design that leaves you feeling just unsettled enough to want to be 

comfortable. 

This is a "Grand Hotel" for the '90s and a biting bit of 

self-consciousness that goes all the way home in lathering up the dirt 

on Hollywood, the soaps and the irrepressible celebrity ego.

JUNGLE FEVER 

Starring Wesley Snipes. Annahetla Sciorra. Spike Lee. Ossie 

Davis. Ruby Dee. Samuel L. Jackson. Lonette McKee. John 

Turturro. Frank Vincent and Anthony Qiiinn. 

Produced, written and directed by Spike Lee. 

A Universal Pictures release. Drama, rated R. Running Time: 132 

min. Screening dale: 5/30/9L 

With "Do The Right Thing," Spike Lee made the first great 

American film about racism: a harsh, angry and frighteningly real 

look at how our idealistic melting pot has turned into a hate-ridden 

pressure cooker. With his new film, "Jungle Fever," Lee once again 

focuses on racism—this time seen through the prism of an interracial 

relationship—and again uses a variety of characters to explore 

different aspects of the subject. But, etfective as much of it is, "Jungle 

Fever" isn't nearly as potent as the earlier film. It lacks the incendiary 

heat of "Do the Right Thing," and it's most insightful moments come 

not when Lee is concentrating on the film's central couple, but when 

he looks at the troubled family lives of characters on both sides of 

the color line. 

contribution: when he requests an African-American secretary, his 

white bosses (Tim Robbins and Brad Dourif) accuse him of reverse 

racism (Flipper is the company's only black employee); and later, 

he is refused the partnership he clearly deserves. 

The secretary he is given. Angie (Annabella Sciorra), is a pretty 

young Italian-American who is struggling to break away from the 

ignorance and oppressiveness of Brooklyn's Bensonhurst neighborhood. 

After a long day's work, her widowed father (Frank Vincent) 

still expects her to cook dinner for the family, and her brothers keep 

a close eye on her relationship with the sensitive Paulie (John 

Turturro). 

The affair between Flipper and Angie begins after a series of 

working dinners in which they get to know one another, and for both 

of them it has disastrous results. Each confesses the relationship to 

close friends, and each is 

betrayed. When Flipper's wife learns of 

his infidelity, she throws all his belongings out the window and locks 

him out of his home. When he hears of the relationship. Angle's 

father beats her up and sends her packing. Both outcasts, they end 

up sharing an apartment in Greenwich Village, where they coine to 

realize that their torrid affair doesn't have the makings of a lasting 

relationship. By the film's end. they're both scrambling to put their 

lives back together. 

It's never quite clear whether Lee agrees with Cyrus, the character 

he himself plays, that the couple is suffering from "Jungle Fever" 

Angie out to conquer the savage black inan; Flipper out to possess 

the unattainable white woman—or whether he is attacking this 

attitude. The fate of their affair indicates that Cyrus is speaking for 

Lee. but Paulie's pursuit of a young black woman at the film's end 

hints that Lee's own viewpoint may be more sympathetic. 

Indeed, many of "Jungle Fever'" s best scenes involve Paulie, who, 

aside from Angie, is the lone voice of enlightenment in their neighborhood. 

Turturro, who played a brutal racist in "Do the Right 

Thing," brings Paulie a soft-spoken eloquence, quietly stealing every 

scene he is in. But elsewhere, Lee's portrayal of Italian-Americans 

as violence-prone racists is every bit as offensive as traditional 

Hollywood's images of African-Americans as drug dealers and 

pimps. 

Lee is more evenhanded when it comes to his black characters, 

and the relationship between Flipper's crackhead brother (an intense 

Samuel L. Jackson) and religious parents (Ossie Davis and Ruby 

Dee) is especially well drawn. Throughout the film, the performances 

are excellent, and Stevie Wonder's score lends the proceedings 

a propulsive rhythm that almost makes up for its over-length. 

As a director, Lee still seems a bit like a kid in a candy store—he's 

tempted to try a little of everything and soine of his effects detract 

from the story rather than enhance it. There's one vlu 'i . 

Imu c\ cr. that 

The latest "joint"from Spike Lee never lived up to its boxoffice 

expectations, opening with a per screen average of $8,385 on 

636 screens, then dropping quickly for a total gross under $30 

million. 

Wesley Snipes plays Flipper, an intelligent and industrious black 

architect who lives in a fashionable section of Harlem with his wife 

( Lonette McKee ) and young daughter (Veronica Timbers ). He works 

atafinn that takes advantage of his creativity without rewarding his 

justifies its showiness: from the point of view of someone looking 

down from an apartment, we see Flipper and Angie horsing around 

in the street, play-fighting, and wait on the edge of our seats for some 

kind of misunderstanding. Sure enough, the police show up, aiming 

guns at Flipper and throwing him against a wall. It's a powerful 

moment that captures the pain, fear and shame of race relations in 

America, and esen if Lee never again matches this level of thoughtfulness, 

his film is always thought-provoking.

"The Rocketeer" bears a meager resemblance lo its predecessor. 

"I.dsl Planet Aimien" ( 1949). itself a feature tllm that cvoKeil from 

Republic Pictures' old 1 2-chapter Saturday matinee serial. "King of 

the RtK-kel Men." This I Wl rcKket man I Bill Campbell I. who l(H)ks 

mtenlionally like a Saturday matinee idol. dix.'snl get enough of a 

chance lo fly— although the special eflecis that back him up would 

warrant his doing so. Perhaps if he flew more and talked less, this 

film wDuldn't have felt so. ..long. ..for its 108 minutes. Perhaps if 

everyone had talked less (especially the screenwriters), "The Rixkeleer" 

might have soared in the directiitn of giMxl old ( self-conscious 

American apple pie with its audience fast on its tail. But the endless—and 

often meaningless—words that sputter from the 

characters' lips in this story bog it down considerably. In the midst 

of much meandering is an action film that struggles to rear its 

science-fiction head out and up from the ashes. And this is where 

"The Rocketeer" turns fun. 

The time is the 19.10s. Bill Campbell is Cliff, a young air racing 

pilot who. with his mentor. Peevy (Alan Arkin). discovers a mysterious 

liHiking rocket pack and. w hen he straps it on. finds that he can 

tly— as in. really soar up into the sky. But this rcKket pack seems lo 

be on everyone else's mind as well, including villians. government 

agents, and especially a Hollywronl matinee idol named Neville 

Sinclair) who. in truth, works for a Na/i spy organization that wants 

this riKket pack so as to control— yes— the world! Woven into this 

already-convoluted plot is the love affair Bill has going w ith a young 

actress. Jenny Blake (Jennifer Connelly), whom Neville Sinclair 

then pursues so as lo get lo Cliff and reclaim the rocket pack for the 

Nazis. 

It's not the complexity of the plot that works against "I'he 

Rocketeer's" giKKl intentions; rather it is the often aimless presentation 

of the events. Kxcluding those thrilling moments (and they are 

thrilling, indeed) when Cliff fiies around the city—aided by some 

very exciting special effects and "The RiKketeer's" stirring musical 

score—the film mostly lags and drags. Much of the time the actors 

don't seem to be able to lift the script out of its doldrums, and seem 

instead to be left holding the bag. There are enumerable sequences 

in the film that feel endless, and these work against everyone 

involved. But this isn't to say that the film Is entirely void of 

excitement. When Cliff is in the air \ou almost want to rtH>i for .ill 

that Mom and apple pie he stands for; he becomes an .American hcio 

in the tradition of all singular heri>es who have preceded him on

almost makes up for the let-downs that seem hesitant to let up.

The only thing that sets "Dying Young" apart from the so-callni

its top-notch cast. I'rom superstar Julia Roberts lo relative new coiuci 

Campbell Scotl to veterans Col leen Dew hurst and IJleii Bursty n.tlu 

film is jam-packed with fine acting. L'niortunalcly. these first-rau 

performances are wasted on a second-rate script and smothered h> 

third-rate direction. 

l\ven the ever-popular Julia Roberts couldn't save this jerky 

tearjerker. tvhich opened with a leary $V. 7 million weekend and 

ended up expiring; at the boxoffice with a meaner $.1(1 million 

total. 

In this 'yi)s varialioii mi l.ove Story." Roberts plays Hilan 

O'Neil, a pretty woman from the wrong side of the tracks who^ 

spent the last few years living off her boyfriend As the film opens 

she walks in on him with another woman and promptly heads hoiiu

own. Hilary responds to an add tor an "attractive young lemaknurse, 

and—after a run-in with the patient's father — gets the job. 

The patient is 28 year old Victor Geddes (Campbell Scott), a rich 

boy who's been battling leukemia for ten years. For him. it's love .11 

first sight; for her. it's 4(M) bucks a week. She helps him through the 

horrors of chemotherapy and. like Richard Cicrc in 

"Pretty Wonuiii.

MendiK-ino where they hang out with the townles and. finally. I.ill 

in love. Needless to say, iheir idyll doesn't last long before Victiu 

illness returns. 

It's all too familiar to pack much of an emotional punch, thoutli 

Richard Friedenberg's script d(K*s throw in a few lighthearted seemto 

relieve the maudlin tone. But Joel Schumacher's direction is 

nothing short of terrible; his loudness for cloying montage scenes 

(complete with gooey niuzak from the usually restrained Janus 

Newton Howard) is particularly annoying, especially when he re 

sorts to a shamelessly heart-lugging one that shows bald youiiy 

cancer victims awaiting chemo treatments. And. as in earlier films 

such as "St. HImo's Fire" and "Flatlincrs." he hypes up the aclois 

emotions to the limit and shtxns everything in glowing. honey-dri(i 

ping tones. 

As ever. Roberts is an enchanting screen presence who brings id 

her character a strong degree of emotional veracity. But one wonders 

why (aside from the fat paychecks) she wastes herself on tripe like 

" 

this and "Pretty Woman It' snot just that these films are bad. though 

they are that; but they don't even begin lo lest her as an actress, and 

one would hope that by now she'd be hungry for a challenge. Scoll. 

w ho gave an amiable if understated performance in "The ShelterniL' 

Sky." is terrific here, bringing out both the charm of a boy who was 

raised having it all and the pain of a man who has matured in the 

face of tragedy. In a supporting role as one of the townies whu 

develops a crush on Hilary, Vincent D'Onofrio does a fine turn, as 

do Dewhurst and Burslyn. 

s 

August, 1991 R-53

Finally, all the film's tension hangs on one question: will Victor, 

as the title indicates, die young, or will he survive? Perhaps for 

commercial reasons, it"s a question the filmmakers choose not to 

answer. They leave Victor where we found him. battling his illness. 

rather than taking the chance of provoking feelings of disappointment 

over his death or accusations of treacly optimism over his 

recovery. Playing it safe, they cheat us out of the emotional epiphany 

the film has been aimed at all along, and we're left feeling like we've 

just been on a seven dollar, two hour ride to nowhere.

HUDSON HAWK 

Shining Briui' Willis. Danny Aiello, Andie MacDowell. James 

Cobum. Richard E. Grant and Sandra Bernhard, 

Produced by Joel Silver. Directed by Michael Lehmann. Screenplay 

by Steven E. de Souza and Daniel Waters. Story by Bruce Willis 

and Robert Kraft. 

A Tri-Star Pictures release. Adventure, rated R. Running time: 95 

min. Screening date: 5^2/91. 

Inside every glamorous, shallow movie star beats the heart of a 

would-be artist—or so it seems, based on the number of vanity 

projects that today's superstars seem determined to mount. And for 

every Kevin Costner who delivers a superb "Dances With Wolves," 

there seems to be an Eddie Murphy or a Bill Cosby trying to pass 

off a "Harlem Nights" or a "Leonard Part 6" as entertainment. 

It doesn't take a clairvoyant to guess which category Bruce Willis' 

"Hudson Hawk" is going to fall into. While Willis has proven 

himself a likeable, lightweight actor on TV's "Moonlighting" and in 

the "Die Hard" films, he's also displayed questionable taste by 

starring in two awful Blake Edwards films and "Bonfire of the 

Vanities," and by releasing a pair of records and a video showcasing 

his musical ineptitude. Indeed, "Hudson Hawk" (which is actually 

based on a song co-written by Willis and the film's executive 

producer. Robert Kraft) proves once again that Willis' ego is far 

greater than his talent. 

The film tells the story of Eddie Hawkins (Willis), aka the Hudson 

Hawk, aka the world's greatest cat burglar. On his release from 

prison, the Hawk has every intention of going straight; unfortunately, 

the powerful and vicious Darwin and Minerva Mayflower 

(Richard E. Grant and Sandra Bernhard) want him back in business. 

They need him to steal three ohjetsd'art by Leonardo da Vinci, each 

of which conceals a mysterious crystal that, when combined, will 

turn lead into gold. If he refuses, they'll kill his best friend. Tommy 

(Danny Aiello). So. needless to say. he reluctantly agrees to their 

plan, and it's off to Europe, where he foils the world's finest security 

systems, outsmarts the Mayflowers and wins the heart of the 

Vatican's most beautiful nun (Andie MacDowell). 

Sound stupid? It is. The thefts happening onscreen pale by comparison 

to the ones being made by screenwriters Steven E. de Souza 

and Daniel Waters, who insist on lifting plot points from every caper 

film in recent memory while ignoring the nagging need for an actual 

story. (The character played by James Cobum is named George 

Kaplan, a tip-of-the-hat to "North By Northwest" that must have 

Alfred Hitchcock and Cary Grant plotting revenge from their 

graves. ) Director Michael Lehmann. on the other hand, seems intent 

on showing off all the neat directorial tricks he's learned from 

watching a lifetime of Bugs Bunny and Road Runner cartoons. 

The actors don't fare any better. MacDowell. so charming in "The 

Object of Beauty," wanders through the film in a confused haze, 

undoubtedly wondering when she would get the real script. Cobum 

is genial—it's been a long time since he's been in a big budget film, 

and he probably enjoyed having his own trailer—while .Aiello is just 

plain smug. And Grant and Bernhard seem to be engaged in a scenery 

eating contest. 

Then there's Bmce Willis—through it all. he's Bmce Willis. No 

one seems to have told him he's not Cary Grant. No one seems to 

have pointed out that "Hudson Hawk" is not "North By Northwest." 

He seems to be having a blast. Still, it's hard to begrudge him this 

$40 million party, because if there's any trace of common sense in 

Hollywood, he'll never be given this kind of carte blanche again.

DON'T TELL MOM THE 

BABYSITTER'S DEAD 

Starring Christina .\pplegale. Joanna Cassidy. John Getz. Keith 

Coogan and Josh Charles. 

Produced bv Robert Newmyer. Brian Reilly and Jeffrey Silver. 

Directed by Stephen Herek. Written by Neil Landau and Tara Ison. 

A Warner Bros. Release. Comedy, rated PG- 1 3. Running time: 

102 min. Screening date: 6/4/91. 

Some movies inspire great thoughts and stirring conversation. 

Picture this: After going to see "Home Alone" on opening weekend, 

screenwriters Neil Landau and Tara Ison head for the nearest 

capuccino bar to discuss what they've just e.xperienced. "It was 

brilliant!" he screams. "Powerful, yes." she agrees,"but no match for, 

say, 'Working Girl. Wait." he says, "that gives me an idea..." And 

so, out of two of the most popular films in recent years, is born 

"Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead," an insipid piece of 

cinematic juvie-trash. 

It's not even fun in a so-bad-it' s-good kind of way. It's so bad it's 

just plain bad. Christina Applegate stars as Sue Ellen, the eldest child 

in a brood about to be deserted for the summer as Mom heads off to 

Australia to check out her new beau's sheep farm. So Sue Ellen, or 

Swell, as she's known around the house, thinks she's going to have 

the run of the joint; but Mom's decided to hire a babysitter, a 

seemingly nice old lady (EdaReiss Merin) who turns out to be a real 

terror. For 24 hours, the kids' lives are a living hell, until—how did 

you know?—the babysitter drops dead. 

The kids all agree they don't want Mom tocome back—she's such 

a nag—and the rest of the film follows Swell's plight as she tries to 

hold the family together. She concocts a phony resume and lands a 

job as executive assistant to a female executive (Joanna Cassidy). 

and once she gets her chance she completes a rousing. Melanie 

Griffith-style transformation into career gal. The boss's boyfriend 

makes a pass at her. she turns out to be a better mom than Mom. she 

saves the company. ..it's all in a summer's work. 

The basic story could have made for a funny film, but there's not 

a shred of wit in the script. Indeed, the writing is downright irresponsible: 

these kids steal, lie and take dmgs. and the fact that they 

eventually pull together and shape up seems to say, "Relax, it's just 

a phase they're going through." Given what they have to work with, 

the performers don't fare badly—Applegate has a Lolita-ish charm, 

and Cassidy makes the most of her role—but all the talent could have 

been better employed almost anywhere else. 

"Don't Tell Mom" is especially disappointing because it was 

executive produced by Michael Phillips, who. along with his wife 

Julia, helped bring us the likes of "Taxi Driver" and "The Sting." 

Judging by this post-marital effort, it's easy to believe her assertion 

(made in her bestseller "You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town 

Again") that he had little to do with their collective glory. If success 

is the password to getting a table in Hollywood, Mr. Phillips may 

join his ex on the list of those consigned to lunching out of town.

DROP DEAD, FRED 

Starring Phoebe Gates. Rik Mayall. Marsha Mason. Carrie 

Fisher and Tim Matheson. 

Produced by Paul Webster. Directed by Ate De Jong. Written by 

Carlos Davis and Anthony Fingleton. 

A New Line Cinema release. Comedy, rated PG-13. Running 

time: 98 min. Screening date: 6/2/9/. 

"Drop Dead. Fred" is more than simply the title for this not-sofunny 

yet extremely nasty little piece of filmmaking. It's also a 

phrase that will dance on the lips of any adult who watches even a 

few moments of it. Too silly for adults and too violent for children 

(which is unfortunate, since many parents will undoubtedly drag 

their kids to see it), "Drop Dead. Fred" is misguided enough to give 

pause and ponder just how films get produced—more so. screenplays 

written—today. 

Phoebe Gates is a young woman with a philandering husband 

(Tim Matheson) and an impossibly overbearing mother (Marsha 

Mason)—two problems that would make any girl want to retreat

ambition to make everyone miserable He thinks he's helping our 

damsel in distress but what he's really doing is making enough 

trouble to make even his audience grow angry. He's a vulgarian of 

the first ilk whose sense of play (but. after all. he's just reading the 

scnpt) is less humorous than it is sophomoric. He likes to destroy 

objects, blow up people's possessions and kick and pinch where it 

hurts most. 

Adding to this misery is Phoebe Gates' catatonic performance. 

She dix'sn't seem to mind (nor even to notice) Fred's pastiness 

simply because she hardly seems conscious enough to do so. There 

IS more fun in w atching Marsha Mason ( w ho' s fun in any event, even

doesn't sit liKiwell with the juvenilia of "Drop Dead Fred." Chances

Following the critical success of his first feature. The Unbelievable 

Truth." independent filmmaker Hal Hartley has formulated a 

second picture with almost identical production values. One would 

have expected something new from this writer-director who. just a 

year ago. seemed so onginal. 

But maybe he's learning from the big 

studios that when you have a successful formula, you keep milking 

it for all It's worth. He d(K's. And this latest film may have even 

greater commercial potential because of the hip way it addresses 

issues that concern contemporary teenagers: dropping out of schixil 

and teen pregnancy, abusive parents— not to mention the old 

standby, falling in love. 

In "Trust." Hartley again focuses on the emotional bankruptcy of 

middle-class America. Working with the same producer. Jerome 

Brownstein. and cinematographer. Michael Spiller. he again casts 

Adnanne Shelley as the female lead. Doe-eyed and petite under her 

thick red hair, she is quirky Barbie-doll actress who can reveal a 

thousand faces, most of them funny. Again, she plays a misfit 

teenager whose story is told parallel to that of a young man's, whose 

past is dark and mysterious and holds the threat of violence. The 

two are destined to meet midway into the film, fall in love and offer 

each other escape from their dysfunctional homes. In the prcK'ess. 

Mana develops from a spoiled, bralty student to a mature, almost 

ascjiic young woman in control of her own life. 

Hartley has a deadpan sense of humor that is quite outrageous. 

He strives for. and achieves, a patent artificiality. Filmed in tight 

close-up. ail his characters talk with a clipped dialogue reminiscent 

of Andy Warhol's cartoon strips. While the suburban Ij)ng Island 

locations refiect a dull grey envirt)nment. the cast is broad and 

colorful. 

Not rated: domestic violence and strong language.

as Solly's surrender to the Russians (which instead becomes his

"Prisoners of the Sun." the first major Australian film about World 

War II from the perspective of those Down Under, developed wiili 

the assistance of the Australian Film Commission, has all the ear 

marks of a deliberate, intelligent attempt at artificial catharsis. In 

their efforts to tell a balanced story that attempts to offer truth withoul 

anger, the filmmakers have basically transmutated historical reality 

into a sterile combination of "Judgement at Nuremberg." "Paths of 

Glory" and "Merry Christmas. .Vlr. Lawrence." 

Consequently, no particular catharsis is achieved. No commen 

tary on the virtues and follies of human nature is attempted because 

there are no characters in this story, really—only people representing 

particular positions in a psychodrama. The viewer is left with the 

feeling that he has been sitting through yet another patented conn

room story of how justice has been achieved at the price of leaving 

the world a poorer place. 

The plot centers on the post-war efforts of Captain Robert Cooper 

(Bryan Brown) to bring to justice the Japanese officers and prison 

guards responsible for the brutal treatment and deaths of some eight 

hundred Australian prisoners in a POW camp on the Indonesian 

island of Ambon. The major war criminal. Baron Takahashi (George 

Takei, in a chilling portrayal, light-years away from his charming 

Sulu in the "Star Trek" series), successfully stonewalls all efforts to 

bring him to justice, thanks to the loyalty his men still have for the 

Emperor and the mores of the code of honor he embodies. American 

policy regarding Japanese reconstruction is also on Takahashi 's side, 

as he has been deemed too important to the continuity of Japanese 

post-war society to be brought to Australian justice—however much 

he may deserve it. 

Although the American bureaucracy and even his own superiors 

frastrate him at every turn. Cooper remains determined to find a 

charge that will stick to Takahashi. He doggedly pursues the possibility 

that four airmen on a reconnaissance mission were shot down 

on the island and then summarily executed, without trial, in violation 

of international law. Upon discovering the hidden grave of the 

airmen—thanks to clues provided by an unstable soldier who had 

watched the execution of his brother by the guards—Cooper finds 

himself prosecuting a young Japanese Christian who, although 

innocent, at various times bravely questioned the improper orders of 

his superiors. He is, paradoxically, guilty of carrying out the execution 

of one of the airmen because, in his culture, to execute a foe 

equal to his rank was an honor not easily refused. 

The flashback courtroom plot mechanics of this reasonably complicated 

story take up much time—and that pinpoints the dramatic 

flaw of the entire film. The clash of cultures involved in the war are 

too complicated to be dealt with in the truncated form offered here. 

The bad Japanese are bad. the angry Australians are angry, and only 

the spiritually innocent yet technically guilty character Tanaka 

emerges as remotely three-dimensional. This should have been a 

television miniseries instead of a theatrical release. 

Most damning, however, is the attempt at balance in the film, 

which bleaches it of any emotional or intellectual sensibility. "Prisoners 

of the Sun" is accurate about the Emperor, Japanese culture 

during the war and the war crimes themselves. It's also accurate in 

its approach to the racial hatred on both sides, and about the men 

who decided that a good man had to die because he did the only thing 

he could have done. It gets a little angry about an American policy 

that permitted a guilty scumbag to go free, and toward the end it 

demonstrates how vile the treatment of the Australian prisoners was. 

But the courtroom scenes are so pat, so hackneyed, that the proceedings 

cool down just as they threaten to heat up a bit. 

In the final 

analysis, the first major film about World War II from the Australian 

point of view has no point of view at all. 

Rated R for brutality.

THE STORY OF BOYS AND GIRLS 

Starring Liu rt':,iii Liinle della Rovere. Massimo Boneiti and Davide 

Bechini. 

Produced by Antonio Avati. Written and directed by Pupi Avati. 

An Aries Film release. Comedy, not rated. In Italian with English 

subtitles. Running lime: 92 minutes. Screening dale: 05/16/91. 

A ribald Italian comedy about sexual infidelity seems anachronistic 

in these AIDS-fearing days when Hollywood is preoccupied with 

proselytizing the rewards of monogamy. And so. sophisticated filmgoers 

will be refreshed by the invitation of director-screenwriter Pupi 

Avati to join a 1936 gathering in a celebration of the pending 

betrothal of a handsome young couple, Silvia and Angelo. As the 

engagement is celebrated, it is humorously revealed that almost 

everyone is subject to marital spats, lecherous thoughts and adulterous 

behavior. 

In an ancient farmhouse, the bride's family goes through elaborate 

preparations for a 20-course meal— a gourmand's version of 

"Babette's Feast." The family hopes the cuisine will 

mollify the 

groom's family—an urban, sophisticated clan, unhappy about their 

son marrying beneath his station. These aristocrats remain discreet 

and polite as wine loosens tongues, arguments erupt, stories are 

tearfully recounted and Silvia's mother is accidentally shot in the 

arm while Angelo's aunt is almost raped. 

Avati's directs the ensemble of 30 actors with a tine sense of 

intimacy. While there's hardly a shot with fewer than two people in 

it, each person has his or her moment. The characterizations are 

strong: the bride's father who is inconsolable at the news that his 

mistress has been unfaithful, the maid who is molested between 

dinner courses by her lover, the tenant who shows up at the wrong 

time with his young French mistress, and the priest who comes to 

bake pastry and confess the children, all who claim to hear the wings 

of angels beating overhead. 

While the film's plot is vague, its atmosphere is striking. Avanti 

captures a moment in history, depicting the mores and attitudes of 

Fascist Italy. And a rich mood is evoked by the colorful cinematography 

as well as by the vibrant tones and textures and by Riz 

Ortolani's beguiling score, which keeps the film moving at a fast 

clip. There is superb production value in the period costumes, 

furnishings and inodes of transportation (as minute even as automobiles, 

buggies and bicycles). But this attention to detail didn't extend 

to the English subtitles, which are badly misspelled. 

Not rated, but look for sexual situations and innuendo.

DARK OBSESSION 

Starring Gabriel Byrne. Amanita Donohoe. Michael Hordem and 

Jiuly Paifill. 

Produced by Tim Bevan. Directed by Nick Broomfield. Written by 

Tim Rose Price. 

A Circle release. Melodrama, rated NC-I7. Running time: 87min. 

Screening date: 5/22/91. 

By now, the revelation of sex and violence in the British upper 

classes won't raise many eyebrows. But watching leaders of society 

behave in ways that make us commoners feel superior will continue 

to gratify audiences. 

"Dark Obsession" is a tony, stylish melodrama with a somber, 

amoral theme that will appeal to sophisticated audiences. It is the 

first work of fiction by British documentarian Nick Broomfield. who 

demonstrates a strongly .sensual directorial talent. It's not just the 

sexual scenes—which simmer with the threat of violence—that are 

artful, but the many memorable images of elegant interiors, polo 

horses and an impressive helicopter shot of the White Cliffs of 

Dover. 

Looking remarkably like the Prince of Wales, Gabriel Byrne stars 

as Hugo Buckton, a nobleman obsessed with the idea that his wife 

is having an affair with her Argentine business colleague (and this a 

double offense, coming right after the Falklands War). Hugo's 

marriage disintegrates during the short course of the film, just as the 

once impervious world of the ruling class begins to crumble. Behind 

the wheel of someone else's car. after a night of boozing with old 

school chums, Hugo runs down and fatally injures a young woman 

whom he momentarily mistakes to be his wife. Hugo feels no guilt 

and willingly agrees with his business partner's plan to keep the 

event hush-hush. But the owner of the car, Jamie, wants to go to the 

police. 

When Jamie becomes too much of a threat to the security of 

the gentry, one murder simply leads to another. 

While the screenplay by Tim Rose Price is riddled w ith holes and 

unfilfilled suspense, Broomfield makes the most of his arch ensemble. 

As the wrongly mistrusted wife, Amanda Donohoe is so dazzlingly 

elegant, vivacious and sexy that we can almost understand 

Hugo's obsession with her. Judy Partltt and Michael Hordem play 

her landed in-laws—she with a vicious tongue and he with humorous 

senility. Pasty-faced Struan Rodger is sinister as the calculating 

business partner, and Sadie Frost is spirited as Hugo's highly sexed 

sister, who is bitter over the fact that Hugo will inherit the family's 

vast estate while all she gets is a big debutante party. 

TTie only talent 

that goes wasted belongs to comic actor Ian Carmichael. who plays 

the family butler. 

Broomfield relieves the heavy mood of his movie with some 

delightful scenes, such as when Hugo's young son mounts a skateboard 

and lets his shaggy dog pull him through the marbled halls of

the family's enormous Yorkshire manor. Michael Coulter's mutetJ 

cinematography conveys Hugo's hallucinatory perspective. And 

Hans Zimmer's impressionistic music keeps the suspense and se.xual 

tension of the film at a constant crescndo.

CITY OF HOPE

Sayles. 

Produced by Sarah Green and Maggie Renzi. Whiten, directed 

and edited hy John Savles. 

A Samuel Goldwyn Company release. Drama, not yet rated. 

Running time: 1.^2 min. Screening date: d/A/V/. 

Independent filmmaker John Sayles" "City of Hope" is set in 

Hudson City. New Jersey, a fictional urban center on the verge of 

decay. It's a gritty, cynical film that belies the optimism of its 

title— the city is crumbling and the hope is long gone. Examining 

the inicrtw ining lives of 38 residents of this working class community. 

Sayles' vision is unremittingly bleak, but, as in his earlier films. 

"Matewan" and "Eight Men Out." he does a brilliant job of capturing 

the dreams and dilemmas of his characters. 

The key action in "City of Hope." revolves around father and son 

Joe and Nick i Bianco and Spano). Joe is a successful building 

contractor under pressure from p 

this one indicts 

all of Hudson City. and. by implication. mixJern America. 

A key subplot reinforces Sayles' thesis: two black youths (Jojo 

Smollett and Eddie Townsend ). frustrated at being hassled by police 

for no reason, take out their anger on Les (Bill Raymond), a white 

college professor who's gone jogging in a park. When the kids are 

arrested for the beating, they claim Les tried to molest them, and 

Wynn (Jix; Morton), a black city councilman, is pressured by the 

community into investigating. Wynn's wife is a colleague of l.es'. 

and Wynn knows in his heart that the boys' charges arc lies. But 

politically . 

he can't afford to side w iih the w hue man over two black 

kids. LUtimately. both Wynn and Joe are forced to compromise their 

ideals in order to save something more dear lo them: Joe. who's 

already lost one son. must protect Nick; Wynn has to guard his 

political career. 

Sayles' storytelling is sharp, and his directorial hand is getting 

surer with each picture; at well over iw o hours, the film never drags. 

Robert Richardson's dark, shadowy cinematography and Mason 

Daring's fine score also enhance the m(H)d. But. perhaps most 

importantly, Sayles has done an expert job in casting—every performer 

seems to fit his or her part to a tee. .Among the standouts in 

a uniformly fine ensemble are Spano. Morton. Lo Bianco. Barbara 

Williams as Nick's love interest. Chris Cooper as Joe's foreman. 

Kevin Tighe as a politically ambitious detective and David 

Strathaim as Asteroid, a homeless man suffering from echolalia. 

Near the end of the film. Sayles stumbles once, attempting to 

reconcile one of the black youths with the unjustly accused Les. It's 

an optimistic moment that seems out of place in the bleak environs 

of the hopeless city that Sayles has shown us. softening his harsh 

criticism and interrupting the film's momentum. But it's a brici 

lapse, and one he recovers from it quickly as Sayles ends his storv 

w ith .Asteroid blankly echoing a desperate cry for help, a remarkable 

scene symbolizing the breakdown of scKiety's humanity. It's .i 

stunning moment, and a fitting conclusion to this powerful film

Trying to interpret Australian director Jane Campion's work is .r 

heady a task as a gourmet attempting to imitate a favorite dish san^ 

recipe, and there is a delightful intoxication offered in disc(i\enii;j 

those secret ingredients With Campion, these elements are akin in 

anchovies, jalepeno peppers or rare black truflle. They are lo\ed In 

few . an acquired taste for man\ and hated by most—especialK atlii 

Campion's earlier outing, the 1^W> "Sweetie." best described as the 

outrageous telling of a family gone severely askew. 

Like another ingenious 

filmmaker. Spike Lee. Campion usc^ 

offensive imagery to make a point. Unlike Lee. however, she doesii 

slap you in the face and then dare you to cry out; instead she makcv 

you squirm, cross then uncross your legs and then cross them again 

until your unrest wears down to the marrow. 

Originally made as a three-art television show on the harrowed 

life of New Zealand writer Janet Frame. Campion was urged lo 

merge her mini-series into an epic length 2 1/2 hour film. The 

carrot-topped Frame's life is indeed soap opera-ish. but Campion^ 

whacked-out sensibilities are refreshing, adding more than simple 

purpose to the life of this tragic woman. Less off-putting than the 

dreadfully endearing but emotionally apocalyptic "Sweetie." "Angel 

at My Table" is more like Campion's earlier shorts. Her touch 

caresses her revered Frame (you almost begin thinking of them .i-^ 

one), bashing the bastions of psychiatry that hospitalized Frame Im 

eight years of her youth and celebrating the life of this fascinatin;j 

writer. 

In the first section of the film. Frame is introduced to us as ,i 

dangerously chubby schoolgirl with an unruly head of bright reil 

curls. To get in good with the other kids, she pilfers some coins froin 

her aunt's pocket and buys gum "all around." The teacher, put upon 

w ith a class of smacking jaw s. berates Frame as a liar and a thiel 

Yet. these arc the wide-eyed years in which Frame discovers her 

lifelong love — poetry. This moment, acknow ledging clumsy child 

hood, is a masterpiece: the young Frame caressing a brand neu 

journal her father has given her after her first successful poem written 

in school. 

The second section of "Angel" finds Frame as a very serious 

student, working toward a teaching degree. In the greater populace 

of the university, she finds herself growing inward, too shy e\en in 

mingle with the others she would like to emulate. Eventually, .i 

professor, on whom she has a substantial crush, suggests a hospital 

rest. So Frame finds herself in a psychiatric ward diagnosed as 

schizophrenic: this will not be her only visit to the ward during the 

film, and we see the horrors of Depression-age psychiatry—din\ 

handprints on the wall, shock treatments and the like. 

The third and final section of "Angel" reveals Frame's post-hns 

pital period. She is a writer who's progressing toward mental well 

being. Throughout "Angel."Campion focuses on Frame's feet, hei 

torn stockings, sensible shoes plodding through grassy fields .ii 

home and treading cobblestone streets in Europe. Frame fell she was 

merely walking through life, trying to make sense of the suffering. 

the drowning deaths of her two sisters, her family's poverty and her 

own misundcrsto(xl fears. Campion celebrates Frame's journey 

the travels to hell and back— that inspired her writings. There is .i 

true love of subject here: Campion's empathy for Frame that sur 

passes her work and touches on Frame's disturbed emotional lile 

with a familial love usually reserved for those very close. 

Campion may find herself in new company with "Angel at M>

performances give this film its lift. 

T.K. (Barbara Hershey) is a Los Angeles attorney who's defending 

a man (J.T. Walsh) accused of "helping" young girls find work 

(is this what it's called?) in porno films. Thinking that she has a pretty 

good case, T.K. doesn't seem too bothered by the fact that her client 

is also her lover—and her married lover at that. And this is where 

the not-so-very-subtle-sexism enters the story. T.K. is truinped up 

by the script—or at least by the camera— to be a woinan in charge 

of her life and a powerhouse in the courtroom. But we might have 

known better in Hollywood. T.K. can't possibly be powerful—be of 

interest to us. even—unless her power is underminded by some 

fundamental fiaw in her character. And here T.K. is the cliche to 

prove it. She's a woman who is punished by the film for having a 

career and so of course her emotional life is a wreck. She has no 

family, no husband—therefore she is supposed to signal a woman 

in trouble. She reaches for a cigarette (shudders for it, almost) in 

practically every scene she's in here; she talks to herself about how 

she's got to get this or that together in her life; and of course, the 

ultimate indicator of her messed up psyche is that she's having an 

affair with her married client. T.K. is a victim in this story, and she's 

about to prove how smart and how stupid she is. 

Bumping into a long-lost college friend (Mary Beth Hurt). T.K. 

finds out—to her horror—that this friend happens to be the wife of 

her lover-client. But this is just the beginning. Soon. T.K. goes to 

this guy 's office intending to break off their affair. Instead she winds 

up stabbing him after they fight. Running out of the building and 

back to her car, she fears for his life and runs back to his office only 

to find that he's been murdered in the interim. But could she have 

done it? 

bit. 

Enter the detective (Sam Shephard), who doesn't trust T.K. one 

Enter also more trouble. T.K. learns that her college friend Hurt 

is accused of doing in her husband (or could it have been the porno 

hoods, or could it have been Hurt's daughter?). She defends Hurt 

and gets her off. But. meanwhile she has never fessed up to having 

been in her lover's office the night he was murdered, and we just 

know what's coming. 

T.K. becomes a victim quicker than you can blink. She is the 

victim of Hurt, the victim of forces she can't even know. But. as the 

film means to imply ( if not throw at us). T.K. is before anything else 

the victim of her own emotional demons. Otherwise (another implication 

hoisted in our faces) none of this would have happened to 

her. So much for women who have careers and married lovers. So 

much for women who need big. strong detectives to save them. T.K. 

has both. And that's what is predictable and rather sad in "Defenseless"—as 

if the title didn't tell us all. The women up on our movie 

screen still need to be saved from themselves, or else they'll end up 

like Thelma and Louise. Barbara Hershey is the best she's been in a 

long time. She has just enough power and just enough vulnerability 

to make T.K.'s troubled character all too painfully real.

Rock legends come few and far 

between. But we've developed a 

standard that will change rocker 

history. The Carousel. 

Now you can start rocking with 

any Irwin chair back. Each is easily 

attached to the Carousel standard - 

matching Irwin selection with 

rocker comfort. 

Its durable steel design makes the 

Carousel a heavy metal 

dream. And Ii-win's 

innovative flat spring 

construction* transfers 

body weight evenly. 

•Paloni [*enilin>; 

That means no fixed flex points. 

No spring fatigue. And no "lazy" 

chair posture. The Carousel keeps 

rocking long after the others 

tire out. 

Carousel means comfort. Armrests 

are at an easy angle to 

complement rocking 

motion. The seat itself 

keeps your feet on the 

-^ 

floor, moving just enougli 

to feel right. And there are 

no pinch points to worr>' about. 

Maintenance is easy through the 

detachable armrests. And with chair 


widths from 20 to 23 inches, you 

can get more rockers to the room. 

All at a price that will make you 

want to sing. 

Give us a call at (616) 784-2621 

to find out more about the new 

revolution in rock.
