this film. Rated X.

1 een Lust: Another of the many,
many teen exploitation 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
ities to own, especially to the punks
who roam the countryside pillaging
all that they find. Max is a man with
a chip on his shoulder and is deter
mined to stop the punks. Rated R.
Zelig: Woody Allen has a new
movie and critics seem to think that
perhaps this is the best Allen film to
date. Reports are that some of the
traditional Allen concepts have be
gun to change starting with this
film. Rated R.
Rocky Horror Picture Show: A
classic cult film where the hero is a
•ranssexual who delights in corrupt
ing the innocent. This film is a won
derful social commentary and spoof
on horror films. Midnight. Rated R.
Phantasm: An old horror film that
will captivate you with its grossness
and unnerve you with its concepts
(or lack thereof). Midnight. Rated R.

War Games: A high level Penta
gon computer fails to make the dif
ference between real war and a war
game to a young computer genius.
The results in this sleeper hit are
terrifying to think about. Rated PG.
Mr. Mom: A new movie with no

a fortune if he can make it
straight. Rated R.

worth seeing. Rated R.
Manor East

The Man From Snowy River:
Kirk Douglas stars in this western
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.
The 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
answered in this film; for instance,
the answer to whether a swimming
pool can survive a Baby Ruth candy
bar. Midnight. Rated R.

opened up and spawned a movie.
Rated R.
Electric Horseman: Robert Red-
ford's bad movie is a good way to
describe this flick. Rated R.
Deathstalker: An epic with the
popular Herculean concept. I hope
muscles can sell a movie because
this is all that this movie has. Rated
R.
Post Oak:

Risky Business A delightful
change of pace as far as teen-age
adventures go. This particular film

problems. Probably one of the most
underrated films of the summer and
fall. Rated R.
JVlausoleum: An old horror film
that expends its efforts trying to
gross you out instead of trying to
actually scare you. A typical bloody
supernatural horror film. Rated R.

lear missiles. Americans are held

ching of a nuclear warhead. Rated
R.
