line of Campus porno flicks. XXX.

The Meaning of Life: Monty
Python's latest contribution to the
American movie scene. It promises
to be even funnier than any of the
previous MP movies. Be sure and
see this representation of British
humor. R.
Curtains: Another mystery/
slasher movie. The only difference
with this and all the others is that
this particular film does have a little
more plot than slash, slash, and
slash. R.
Rocky
Horror Picture Show:
What happens when the all-
American couple meets a transex
ual? Watch this classic cult film and
find out. Midnight. R.
f ast Times at Ridgemont High:
One of the many teen films that

sed.) Believe it or not, this movie is
almost entertaining. Midnight. R.

works in the male world of construc
tion but dances her nights away is
the the premise of this movie. The

The Chosen: Robby Benson
plays a young Jewish boy in a film
that explores whether or not friend
ship goes bevond religion. PG.
Frances: The life of Frances Far
mer is analyzed in this film. Jessica
Lange stars and many critics believe
she deserved the Oscar given to
Streep. R.
Schulman Six
775-2468
Lone Wolf Mcquade: This is a
Chuck Norris and David Carradine
film. If there is any reason for seeing
this movie, it's because these two
are in a film rated less than R. PG.
Tootsie: Dustin Hoffman stars in
a funny and campy story about a
New York actor who has trouble
finding employment because of his
perfectionist nature. He has the last
laugh when he plays his most diffi
cult role ever — an actress. PG.

time for evryone to lose it — too bad
“it" wasn't this film. R.
IVlonty Python Live in Con- I
cert: One of the earlier MP movies.
It is quite humorous and good for an
intelligent laugh. R.
