AROUND TOWN
Film:
Check theaters for specific times and prices. Movies subject to
change without notice.
BORDERLINE (Plitt Cinema l&ll) Charles Bronson in a film which is
neither a good adventure story nor a serious treatment of the
problem of illegal aliens.
BLUE LAGOON (Plitt Cinema l&ll) Supposedly is a story of natural
love between two innocent adolescents — Brooke Shields and
Chris Atkins, if you can belive that. Rated R.
CADDYSHACK (Manor East) Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield
and Bill Murray are outstanding in this country club version of
"Animal House." Rated R.
CALIFORNIA DREAMING (Rudder Tower) The adventures of a
Mid-western boy who moves to the sunny beaches of California
and must adjust to surfing culture.
ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (Campus Theater) Your basic,
dyed-in-the-wool cult movie. Recommended mostly for people
who have already seen it, and who want to do the time warp again.
TERROR TRAIN (Manor East) A horror film with a Halloween-type
murderer loose on a train with a fraternity party. Rated R.
THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR (Rudder Theater) A theme movie
for paranoids, with Robert Redford as the man that everyone is
out to get.
TWENTY THOUSAND LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA (601 Rudder)
The Walt Disney version of the Jules Verne story, starring Kirk
Douglas.
URBAN COWBOY (Campus Theater) Yes, John Travolta portrays
life through the eyes of a Rexall Ranger. Go for the soundtrack—
or better yet, buy the soundtrack and miss the movie. Rated R.
COAL MINER’S DAUGHTER (Rudder Tower) Country-Western
music star Loretta Lynn’s autobiography brought to celluloid, with
fine performances by Sissy Spacek and Levon Helm.
SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT II (Manor East) Again Burt Reynolds
and Jerry Reed have a great time in a entertaining movie about
speeding through the South without getting caught. Rated PG.
