21 TTturtfday, February 12, 1981 f THIS WEEK Movies Check theatres for specific times and prices. Movies subject to change without notice. Campus Theater 846-6512 Seems Like Old Times: Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase, two extremely talented comedians, star in only an average, but still funny Neil Simon movie. Chase plays Hawn's ex-bank robber husband who eventually clashes with her current hus band who's out to capture the inept criminal. Rated PG. Sex Worlds: The Aggie Frolics return in time to warm up an otherwise chilly winter. This skin flick goes around the world — in 80 ways. Midnight Friday and Saurday. Rated X. Manor East 823-8300 Song of the South: Walt Dis ney presents a basically ani mated rendition of the Uncle Re mus tales, complete with B'rer Rabbit and friends. The color is, of course, wonderful. This is the movie that gave us the classic song "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah." Rated G. Fort Apache, The Bronx: Paul Newman and Edward Asner, two acting heavyweights, team in this New York police drama in which the police are fighting an almost losing battle against the gangs, junkies and pyromaniacs of the Bronx. Rated R. See re view on page four of this issue. Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Lady: Another cute comedy that pokes fun at old movies. This time the old Char lie Chan films are satarized. Angie Dickinson stars, but there's no guarantee her hair will be combed. Rated PG. Clues Brothers: “Saturday Night Live" dropouts John Be- lushi and Dan Ackroyd continue to pretend to be blues singers. First was their gold album, now it's their movie which features some real soul singers like Aretha Franklin and the James Brown. The boys are looking for ways to save the orphanage in which they were reared. Mid night Friday and Saturday. Rated R. Caddyshack: Bill Murra^ and Chevy Chase are definitely all right in this country club version of "Animal House." Best of all is Rodney Dangerfield, who's hilarious every time he's on screen. Also starring is Ted Knight. Don't miss the gopher get down and boogie to Kenny Loggins' good music. Midnight Friday and Saturday. Rated R. MSC Box Office 845-2916 The Raven: A ghoulish group of actors including Vincent Price, Boris Karloff and Jack Nicholson team in a rather bizar re rendition of the Edgar Allen Poe classic poem. Those who enjoyed the animated "Wizards" should like this 1963 film. Thursday at 7:30 and 9:45 p.m. in Rudder Theatre. Rated G. Brubaker: Robert Redford plays a new warden who discov ers there's just as much corrup tion behind bars as there is out side the prison. Not a big box office hit because Redford just doesn't flash that Hollywood smile too many times. Friday and Saturday at 7:30 and 9:45 p.m. in Rudder Theatre. Rated awn of the Dead: WARN ING: This is a innovative, hila rious satire on the mental zeros who exist in contemporary American society, but this film is extremely gruesome and defi nitely not recommended for sensitive people. In vivid color, you'll see zombies actually de vour live human beings literally to the bone. And if you get sick easily, please don't go drunk. Friday and Saturday, midnight only in Rudder Theatre. Rated R for ridiculously repulsive. A-Small of Circle of Friends: Sometimes it's not easy to be preppie at Harvard — especially when the Vietnam War is rag ing. And it's even harder to have a meaningful relationship. Brad Davis and Jameson Parker try to survive being both brilliant and lonely. Sunday at 7:30 p.m. in Rudder Theatre. Rated R. IVIy Brilliant Career: Highly- praised Australian film about about a girl living in the Austra lian Outback. It's a excellent story in a beautiful setting. Another fine film on Classics Night, which is becoming a Texas A&M tradition. Wednes day at 7:30 p.m. in Rudder Theatre. Rated G. Plitt Cinema I&II 846-6714 M y Bloody Valentine: First it was "Halloween" then it was “Friday the 13th.“ Now it's Valentine's Day — guess it's time for another massacre. Holi days just aren't sacred anymore these days. Rated R. Stir Crazy: The two funniest men in movies, Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, are paired in what should be an absolutely hilarious film. Well, it's not quite that great, but it's still pret ty good. Pryor and Wilder are accidentally accused of robbing a bank and accidentally sent to prison. They should have been carted to the funny farm. Rated R. Rosewood Junction: With two-for-one happy hour until 7 p.m. and a $1 cover charge all weekend, the bluegrass and folk sounds of Elmo and Patsy can be heard.
