Rated R. Flashdance: Post Oak: Schulman Six War Games: Octopussy: Blue Thunder: MSC Grove Excalibur: Thursday. An exciting film based on the timeless myth of the Arthurian legend. The land of Camelot comes to vib rant life in this tale of adven ture and passion. Notably Nicol Williamson stars as Mer lin. Rated R. A film with little plot and little acting talent but it has some of the most electrifying dancing and music that has come out of a movie in a long time. This film does for New Music what Saturday Night Fever did for ~ *d F Disco. Rated R. Roy Scheider is in this flick about an honest man trying to save the public from the hor rors of an over done riot con trol helicopter. The story line is interesting, but the feasibil ity of such a concept will leave you lost. Rated R. What happens when a compu ter fails to make the distinc tion of a real war and and a war game to a 14-year-old boy? See what happens as a young computer genius taps into the defense computers and plays war with the Rus sians for real. Rated PG. The most interesting thing ab out this James Bond flick is the title. This particular story follows the James Bond for mula and has nothing new and exciting to offer. If you have ever seen a James Bond movie before then you might as well say you have seen this one also. Rated R. Rocky Horror Picture Show: The Survivors: Twilight Zone: Skyway Twin Drive-In Caddyshack: Friday. A comedy starring such greats as Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield, and Chevy Chase. This satire on country club life will have you wondering about such things as gophers and Baby Ruths. Rated R. What happens when the all- American couple meets a transsexual? Watch this classic cult film and find out. Mid night. Rated R. Manor East Walter Matthau and Robin Williams star in this new com edy.

The Man From Snowy River: Plitt Cinema I&II&III Porky f s II: Kirk Douglas stars in this western about a boy suddenly alone in the world who helps a girl struggling with life. In Dolby stereo. Rated PG. Like the original Porky’s this movie promises little plot, lit- ■ .d 11 Return of the Jedi: tie acting skill, and small amounts of humor. This film is not totally wasted as it does have its humorous moments and it’s mild entertainments. Rated R. Superman III: The third piece to the exciting Star Wars trilogy. I doubt se riously if there is anywhere out there who doesn’t know what this film is about. If you don’t, well then it is time to wake up and smell the coffee. Rated PG. This is a four episode movie length version of the old TV show the Twilight Zone. If you consider two out of four episodes good enough then go see this movie. It makes ^ou wonder who is in the Twi light Zone. Rated R. Hunger: David Bowie leads the cast in this horror-fantasy film about a woman from another place (and time) and a vampire. Susan Sarandon also has a role. Rated R. Yello wbeard: Max Dugan Returns: The latest presentation of British humor. See what hap pens when Monty Python almost gets together and makes a movie with some of the ingenious comics of toda A film sure to delight a Rated R. Neil Simon’s latest effort. The story is about a distressed woman (Marsha Mason) whose life changes when her father returns. Rated R. •T 11. Deadly Blessing: Trading Places: Another one of this summer’s sequels. This time the villians are more humorous and the movie seems to have taken a lighter look at itself for a change. If you have ever Psycho II: Stoker Ace: Norman Bates is back and the Mother’s Day horror con tinues. This sequel sticks to the original in a complimen- Burt Reynolds and Loni Anderson star in this excuse to “act” together. Burt is a race car driver and Loni is the girl after his heart. Rated R. Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd star in this humorous Prince and the Pauper type story. The two talents come together to make one of the funniest comedies out this summer. For good entertain ment come see this one. Rated R. Guess what? This is another of the approximately 3,046 slasher movies. The plot goes something like slash, cut and kill. Rated R. Without a Trace: The story of a mother frantic ally searching for her son who vanished one day without a trace. Rated R. Hard times sung to rock ‘n’ roll United Press International NASHVILLE — Love con quers all, even double digit un employment, in Barbara Man- drell’s bluesy song “In Times Like These.” A punk group called The Dead Kennedys takes a decided ly different approach in the song “Kill the Poor.” The bad news of the recession has surfaced in rock ‘n’ roll and country. Paul McCartney, Bob Seger, Billy Joel, The Preten ders, the Dead Kennedys and the Oak Ridge Boys are among dozens of artists who have re leased songs about today’s hard times. Some of the songs are silly, others just cute, but a few may rescue rock from its recent func tion as juvenile escapism, where the message takes a backseat to the beat. The recession’s first musical child was an updated version of Johnny Paycheck’s “Take This Job and Shove It.” Rodney Lay’s “I Wish I Had A Job To Shove" reflected a change in the work ing man’s attitude. Fewer people are bold enough to tell off their bosses and risk a pink slip reply. Mandrell’s song takes the positive approach, similar to the flood of escapist movies released during the Depression. “It’s the typical American atti tude of you can’t get me down,” she said. “This song is about the economic situation. It’s a love song. It’s also very entertaining. It’s kind of like laughing at your troubles.” It goes like this: “We can read about the latest in fashion magazines “but that don’t change the fact that we got patches on ourjeans. “Everybody’s needing money, even the preachers preaching on TV. “I thank the good Lord I got you in times like these.” Mandrell’s song proves ii’i not impossible for someonewk has enough money to parkaS foot luxury yacht in a lake tosint about hard times. “It doesn’t mean you havett have lived what a lyric is to id tify w ith it,” she said. The same holds true i McCartney, who seems doing fine in his post days. McCartney’s “The Pi Is Sinking” strikes at the pi book of every Englishman Merle Haggard asks the tion that’s on everybody’s — “Are the Good Times 1 Over?” Haggard yearns for a retui to the days when a “buckwasst silver.” when a Ford and a Cht “would still last 10 years like tk should, when a mancouldst work and still would,” and whi “a girl could still cook and st would." He Carl base ai Hoffmat The Oak Ridge Boys addret the topic of protectionism their song “American Made.
