Bedazzled:
Monday. Dudley Moore and
Peter Cook wrote and star in
this hilarious, twisted version
of the Dr. Faustus tale. Moore
stars as a down-and-out short
order cook who is willing to
sell his soul for the love of a
certain waitress. Cook plays a
tempting Satan and Raquel
Welch plays one of the seven
deadly sins: lust (What else?).
Rated PG.
To Catch a Thief:
Tuesday. Alfred Hitchcock
directed this comedy adven
ture starring Cary Grant and
Grace Kelly. A fast-moving
tale about a retired jewel thief
who is suspected of commit
ting new thefts when an im
poster copies his methods.
Rated G.
The Blues Brothers:
Wednesday. Dan Aykroyd
and the late, great John Be-
lushi star as Jake and Elwood
Blues who are on a “mission
from God” to save their
orphanage. Wonderful music
and a stunning cast of cameos,
including Ray Charles and
Aretha Franklin. Rated R.
Plitt Cinema
III
Superman III:
On two screens. Christopher
Reeve returns as the man
from Metropolis, Superman.
This time, though, he is facing
something of a mid-life crisis
and has a new leading lady,
Lana Lang (played by Annette
O’Toole), the girl Superman
(er, Clark Kent) left behind in
his hometown, Smallville. Of
course, the usual array of vil
lians is back to pester the man
of steel. Robert Vaughn plays
an evil tycoon and Richard
Pryor plays a computer whiz
who falls in with the bad guys.
With director Richard Lester
still at the helm, Number
Three promises to be just as
campy and fun as Number
Two was. Rated PG.
Porky’s II: The Next
Day:
The same mix of pubescent
pranks that made the first one
a success are all back, down to
the same director. If you liked
the first one, this one should
do more of the same for you.
And if you didn’t see the first
one, well, look elsewhere.
Rated R.
Rocky Horror Picture
Show:
Midnight. The original cult
film is here to stay. The music
is great; the plot is campy at its
finest; and the audience is
usually rowdy. Hasn’t every
one seen it a dozen times by
now? Aren’t we ready for a
new midnight movie? Only
Franknfurter knows for sure.
Rated R.
Manor East
Return of the Jedi:
Although “Jedi” is not as good
as “Star Wars” because of its
lack of novelty and its massive
pre-release publicity, it com
pensates with special effects,
bizarre aliens and a fast pace.
Creator George Lucas and di
rector Richard Marquand
make “Jedi” two hours that
seems like a four-minute rol
ler coaster ride. All the origin
al characters are back (and
played as competently as
usual) along with some new
villians and a race of loveable,
courageous teddy bears, the
Ewoks. Rated PG.
Man From Snowy
River:
See this one before it leaves.
Even if you don’t like West
erns or the usual “boy grows
to manhood” stories, this is
still an entertaining movie.
You’ve seen the plot before:
young man from the wrong
side of the tracks falls in love
with a rich man’s daughter
and must prove he is worthy
of her. It may not be a new

idea, but this movie does it is
as well as it can be done. Dire
ctor George Miller did an ex
cellent job of capturing the
beauty and ruggedness of the
Australian countryside. Kirk
Douglas is at his best in dual
roles as twin brothers and
Tom Burlinson, the star,
makes the story believable and
inspiring. The story, trite as it
may be, will melt even the har
dest of hearts. Rated PG.
Psycho II:
Anthony Perkins returns as
Hitchcock’s classic schizo,
Norman Bates. Twenty-two
years later he returns to Bates
Motel. An unpretentious se
quel that plays on our know
ledge of the first movie. Also
stars Vera Miles as the venge
ful sister of Janet Leigh. Rated
R.
Post Oak
The Survivors:
Starts Wednesday. Robin Wil
liams, Walter Matthau and
Jerry Reed star in this comedy
as three men with a common
predicament: unemploy
ment. Williams, who plays an
unemployed executive, meets
up with Matthau, who plays
an unemployed gas station
owner, in a diner, which is
being robbed by an unem
ployed hitman, played by Jer
ry Reed. Sounds a little too
much like real life for a sum
mer movie. Rated R.
Blue Thunder:
Roy Scheider stars as a police
helicopter pilot assigned to
test an ultra-sophisticated sur
veillance and attack helicopter
in this fast-paced adventure.
The question is: will the good
guys get the copter or will the
bad guys get it? Also stars
Candy Clark, Malcom
McDowell and Warren Oates.
Directed by John Badham.
Rated R.
A masked gunman holds up Robin Williams,
who plays an unemployed business executive in
the comedy “The Survivors.” Walter Matthau,
center, plays an unemployed gas station
manager.
Scatman Crothers, left, takes delight in the fact
that the residents of his nursing home have
become children in a segment of “Twilight
Zone: The Movie,” which starts here Friday.
Flashdance:
Being hailed as the next
“Saturday Night Fever,” this
movie has lots of flash, lots of
hot music, lots of hot dancing,
but not much plot.
Schulman Six
Twilight Zone — The
Movie:
With segments directed by
John Landis, Steven Spiel-
berg, Joe Dante and George
Miller, this movie promises to
be like four separate episodes
of Rod Serling’s classic show.
Initial reviews have said that
the movie bats around .500 —
two of the segments are better
than the others.
WarGames:
Matthew Broderick stars as a
teenage computer whiz who
stumbles into the Pentagon’s
defense computer and almost
starts World War IITin this
clever, high-tech film.
Rated PG.
Octopussy:
The usual James Bond stuff.
Roger Moore (not the real
thing) stars as 007 and Maud
Adams has the title (Can you
believe it?) role. The typical
Roger Moore Bond film, no
thing more, nothing less.
Rated PG.
Trading Places:
Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Mur
phy star in this funny update
of the old “Prince and the
Pauper” story. Aykroyd stars
as a wealthy, preppy commod
ity broker and Murphy stars
as a street hustler who gets to
trade places with Aykroyd on
a bet. Rated R.
Yello wbeard:
Monty Pythonite Graham
Chapman stars as the vile, pil
laging pirate Yellowbeard.
Joining him is this mayhem
are fellow Pythonites Eric Idle
and John Cleese, as well as
British comedian Peter Cook,
the late Marty Feldman,
Madeline Kahn, and Cheech
and Chong. Rated PG.
