THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES’ SMARTER BROTHER - Gene Wilder wrote, directed, and starred in this farce. Although it’s funnier than “Young Fran kenstein,” it doesn’t hit the madcap heights Wilder’s men tor, Mel Brooks, attained in “Blazing Saddles.” Still worth seeing for Madeline Kahn, who is always delightful. Cinema Two, shows Friday and Satur day at 5:30, 7:20, and 9:15. Ad ditional Sunday show at 3:40. Weekdays at 7:20 and 9:15. Admission $2.50. BLACKBEARD’S GHOST- An oldie from the Disney as sembly line. At least you get to look at Suzanne Pleshette. Peter Ustinov also stars. Manor East One, shows at 6:40 and 9:oo. Call theater for additional times and admission prices. BLAZING SADDLES - One of the funniest movies of the 1970s. Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn, and a host of others go bananas in the Old West. East screen of Sky way Twin, shows at 7:00 and 10:45, admission $2.00. Palace, call 822-5811 for times and prices. CHINATOWN - Roman Polanski’s got it out for L. A., and can you blame him? A murky film, set in the early 1930’s, and with Robert Townes’ taut script and Polans ki’s feel for the grotesque, this emerges as one of the better films of this decade. Faye Dunaway has never been bet ter, and Jack Nicholson, as the small-time detective J.J. Gittes, is boyishly likable. Aggie Cinema, shows Friday and Saturday at 8:00, in Rudder Au ditorium. Admission $1. Ad vance tickets available at Rud der box office, 9-4. DOG DAY AFTERNOON - Next to “Nashville” and “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore,” the finest film of 1975. Al Pacino can do more with two minutes of screen time than many actors can in an entire movie. The story of a bank robbery with a bizarre twist, this movie grabs you from the beginning and never lets go for a second. Manor East Two, shows at 7:10 and 9:30. Call theater for addi tional times and admission prices. THE CONVERSATION - Francis Ford Coppola’s mas- terwork, the story of a private A scientific approach to diamonds. An artistic approach to fine jewelry.

OPEN WEST SCREEN Skyway Twin 822-3300 6:30- 7:00 EAST SCREEN LETS 00 IT AGAIN’ & (PG) JUDGE ROY BEAN’ ‘BLAZING SADDLES’ & JOHN WAYNE McQ’ (R) surveillance expert (deftly and intelligently played by Gene Hackman) who tries to distance himself from the consequences of his work by making his own life a void. Cindy Williams is beautiful as one member of a couple whose lives Hackman fears he’s endangered by his spying. Thoughtful and some what surreal, it’s not easy to fol low, but worth the effort. West screen Skyway Twin, showing at 8:35. Admission $2. THE KILLER ELITE - The plot’s a massive confusion, and Robert Duvall seems about to fall asleep. But James Caan, usually a solid but dull actor, comes up a winner in this thril ler about a private espionage organization. Directed by Sam Peckinpah, it’s his best effort in years. Cinema One, shows Fri day, Saturday and Sunday at 2:30, 4:40, 7:00, and 9:20. Weekdays 7;00 and 9;:20. Ad mission $2.50. LE GRANDE ILLUSION - Jean Renoir’s classic, made in 1937, about the ties among a group of French prisoners in a German prison camp. Comic and touching, but never senti mental, it is an influential and impressive movie. Sponsored by the English Film Series, it will be shown at 7:00, March 4, in HECC 108. Admission is free, but a $1 donation to cover cost of film rental will be ap preciated. LET’S DO IT AGAIN - Sid ney Poitier and Bill Cosby in a black version of “The Sting.” Cosby is funny, as usual, but Poitier seems out of place in this comedy. West screen Skyway Twin, shows at 7:00 and 10:50. Admission $2. LOVE IN HOT PANTS - You can guess what this one will be like. Campus, shows Friday and Saturday at midnight. Admis sion $2.50. LUCKY LADY - Lousy luck, I’d say. Liza Minnelli looks great, and when she does a song at the beginning of the film, you understand why she’s a star. But the script stinks, Burt Reynolds is forced to act like a simpering idiot (again), and Gene Hackman just sits there. It’s about the trial of a trio of Prohib ition rumrunners, and it’s a trial, from start to finish. Manor East Three, shows 2:30, 4:45, 7:30, and 9:40. M.A.S.H.-Robert Altman’s only commercially successful movie in nine tries (“Nashville” hasn’t made nearly the money it deserves), and not his best, but one of them. Elliot Gould, Donald Southerland, and Sally Kellerman cavort in what is probably the best war comedy ever made. Cinema One, shows Friday and Saturday at mid night. Admission $1.25. PAINT YOUR WAGON - And you thought “At Long Last Love” was the first musical to utilize actors who can’t sing. It was really “Paint Your Wagon. ” Good songs, though, and if you like Clint Eastwood, Lee Mar- INTERSTATE 73W* UNIVERSITY SQUARE SHOPPING CENTER 846-6714 & 846-1151 An ARTHUR LEWIS-BAUM/DANTINE Production • co-starring ARTHUR HILL - BO HOPKINS MAKO • and GIG YOUNG • Directed bv SAM PECKINPAH ■ Screenplay by MARC NORMAN and STIRLING SILLIPHANT ■ United Artists [PG] fcJI JUlTPIfl TODAY,SAT & SUN 2:30, A ; AO , 7 :00 £. 9:20 f' "IT’S REFRESHING TO LAUGH AT 1 A HINNY mm WHO IS SILLY JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT.
