S«O.B.: Blake Edwards, the
man who gave us the "Pink
Panther" movies and "10" is
back with another fad comedy
film. This time he's after The
Hollywood Director and his
California scene. The movie
stars Edwards' wife Julie
Andrews—topless. Needless to
say, she's no Mary Poppins
here. Held over for second
week. Rated R.
Rocky Horror Picture Show:
The ultimate cult film. Friday
and Saturday at midnight.
Manor East
823-8300
Raiders of the Lost Ark: A col
laboration of Steven "Jaws"
Spielberg and George "Star
Wars" Lucas. A high-energy,
30s drama featuring Doc Savage
and The Shadow type action.
Harrison Ford stars as a mercen
ary-adventurer-archaeologist in
competition with Nazis sear
ching for the lost tablets from
the ark of the covenent. Hitler,
one of the bad guy, is interested
in the occult, and Ford is the
good guy. Rated PG.
Cannonball Run: Burt
Reynolds, Dean Martin, Farrah
Fawcett-Majors, Roger Moore
(as himself), Dom DeLuise and a
lot of other people join in a
cross-country auto race. With no
rules. Find out whether the pro
ducers spent too much money
getting box office names and not
enough on talented writers to
develop a plot. Rated R.
Dragonslayer: The latest from
Walt Disney Studios, in con
junction with Paramount. Sup
posedly the beginning of a
whole batch of Dungeons and
Dragons movies, carrying on
the traditon started by "Excali-
bur." In this story of the hand
some knight saving the beauti
ful princess from the wicked
dragon, the special effects are
reportedly comparable to those
of 20,000 Leagues Under the
Sea. Rated R. See review on
page 4.
The Grove
845-2916
Close Encounters of the Third
Kind (Special Edition): This
version features a look inside
the friendly alien spaceship,
plus more sequences not found
in the original, which was good
enough for most of us anyway.
You'll have to look fast to catch
the changes. Richard Dreyfuss
stars as a lineman so confused
after an encounter with the
aliens, he can't even eat his din
ner in peace. Rated PG. Thurs
day night.
Friday the 13th: What day is
supposedly spookier than Hal
loween night? You guessed it,
but this movie isn't half as scary
or well-made as John Carpen
ter's "Halloween," which pre
sented terror as no movie ever
had. However this ripoff isn't a
total waste — there's plenty of
blood from the not-so-original,
but numerous killings. Rated R.
Friday night.
JLlair: Oh, those good old days
when the young had long hair,
flowers, and fringe jackets in
stead of Izods and Topsiders.
And remember when music told
of the "Age of Aquarius" and
Arts Council showing

not of "Life in the Fast Lane"?
Well, return to the glorious pro
tests and pop music of yestery
ear. And don't forget to let
down your hair and the sun
shine in. Rated R. Friday at mid
night.
The Stuntman: Peter O'Toole
received an Oscar nomination
for his role in this examination of
what film production is like, and
how the stuntman and the dan
ger that surrounds him fits into
it all. In this suspense movie,
someone is making the stunt
men's lives even more en
dangered. Rated R. Saturday
night.
Jaws: There's this mother of a
shark, and he's terrorizing a
peaceful New England town.
Luckily, Roy Schneider and the
late Robert Shaw are out to turn
the sea-soaked serpent into tuna
fish. Oh the shark has razor-
sharp teeth, and he keeps them
pearly white ... Sunday night.
The In-Laws: Alan Arkin and
Peter Falk are new relatives —
relatively zany and out-to-
lunch. Arkin is a dentist who
mixed up with the government
spying where Falk works. Who
knows? Monday night.
Saturday Night Fever: Macho
men—pull out your gold chains
and your white polyester suits.
And women, don't forget your
disco dresses and high-heel
shoes. John Travolta, the manu
factured disco dude in the flesh,
will boogie around the dance
floor and every high school girl's
heart. Plus music from the Bee
Gees! This film revolutionized
the dance floor of America.
Rated R. Tuesday night.
Animal Crackers: A Marx
brothers classic, featuring their
own brand of humor. A must for
all fans, who have probably seen
it anyway. Wednesday night.

Superman II: The long-
awaited sequel is still going
strong. Christopher Reeve stars
as the Man of Steel, again.
Worth the trip (for the women)
to see him in his tights. This

time. Superman takes on three
villains with super powers like
his own. He ends up in fist
fights in the sky and other amaz
ing things you'd expect in a Su
perman movie. Plus, it has a
plot. Superman II certainly out
shines its parent movie. Rated
PG.
Stripes: Bill Murray stars in
this summer's male version of
"Private Benjamin." Murray
forms his own army brigade,
teaching them everything he
knows. Obviously, that kind of

we all die laughing. Rated R.
