The Man From Snowy Rive
Kirk Douglas stars in this westei
about a boy suddenly alone in tl
Valle y Girl: Like, first, there was
a song. Then, like, millions of books
and, like, now the movie — fer sure.
This is, vou know, the latest effort to
chronicle the life of the Valley Girl
(ohmigod!). R. How Grody.
Still Smoking: Cheech and
Chong's latest cinematic effort. If
you like C and C, you will like this
picture and if you don't you will
probably not find this film very
amusing. R.
P orky 's: The original of the cur
rent wave of adolescent films. The
plot is definitely unbelievable, but

Chuck Norris and David Carradine

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

laugh when he plays his most diffi
cult role ever — an actress. PG.
Something Wicked This Way
Comes: Ray Bradbury wrote the
text to this exciting new science-
fantasy film. Come see what hap
