1. een Lust: Another of the many,
many teen exploitations films that
have inundated the film industry as
of late. This film may work as mind
less entertainment but it will never
be one to remember. Rated R.
The Road Warrior: Mel Gibson
stars in this apocalyptic view of fu
ture society. Oil and gas have be
come the most precious commod

a chip on his shoulder and is deter
mined to stop the punks. Rated R.

traditional Allen concepts have be
gun to change starting with this

Rocky Horror Picture Show: A
classic cult film where the hero is a
transsexual who delights in corrupt
ing the innocent. This film is a won
derful social commentary and spoof

will captivate you with its grossness

about a boy suddenly alone in the
world who helps a girl struggling
with life. And yes this film is still
here. In Dolby stereo. Rated PG.
Return of the Jedi: The third
piece to the exciting Star Wars trilo
gy. I doubt seriously anyone exists
who hasn't heard about this film. If
you don't, well then, it's time to give
Aunt Helen a call. Rated PG.
Halloween I: One of the original
gory horror movies. This feature
will have you gripped to your seat in
terror and repulsion. Rated R.
Th e Wall: Pink Floyd's visual in
terpretation of their album of the
same name. This film is truly a rock
visual experience. Midnight. Rated
R.

in this classic comedy about country
club life. Many questions are

the answer to whether a swimming
pool can survive a Baby Ruth candy
bar. Midnight. Rated R.
Post Oak:
764-0616
Risky Business: A delightful

admit that I do not know what this
one is about, so this time you will
