un to change, starting with this
m. Rated R.

IXisky Business: A delightful
change of pace as far as teen-age

fall. Rated R.

Dead Zone: Christopher Walken
stars as a man who gains precogni
tion in a car accident. Martin Sheen
also is in this adaptation of a novel
by Stephen King, which just may
turn out to be a classy Halloween
movie. Rated R.
e Man From Snowy River:
Yes, it's back. This Australian film
gives a new angle to the cowboy
myth and shows quite a bit of that
continent's scenery on the way.
Rated PG.
Cocaine Cowboy: Well, it's
either one of those silly, old prop
aganda films like Reefer Madness or
a moving documentary about the
drug habits of a professional football
player. Midnight. Rated R.
Let's Spend the Night
Together: This is the movie based
on the Rolling Stone's concert tour

Never Say Never Again: Sean
Connery returns as James Bond to
save the world from nuclear terror
ism. Bond goes from England to the
Something Wicked This Way
Comes and Watcher in the
Woods: This double feature should
be a good deal if you like a little
horror and pyrotechnics. The first
movie, by Ray Bradbury, was a pret
ty good flick considering that no one
saw it. Rated PG.
Independence Day: No on seems
to know what this movie is about,
but I definitely remember the title
from this spring. Perhaps a romantic
comedy or some sorts? Rated R.
Schulman Six
775-2468
Beyond the Limit: Richard
Gere and Michael Caine star in this
just-released film about two men in
love with the same woman and how
she influences them. The setting of
the film is Argentina. If it's like other
Gere films, there should be plenty of
flesh scenes. Rated R.
The Big Chill: A promising
new movie. The story's about col
lege buddies drifting apart. In col
lege they all had been the non
conformists, but they now have be
come members of the establish
ment Rated R.
Brainstorm: Natalie Wood has
become the star of this feature be
cause she died while it was in pro
duction. She plays one of a team of
scientists who discover a device that
can make your dreams appear real.
Rated PG.
Mr. Mom: A new movie
with no new ideas. The movie is
what happens when daddy stays at
home and mommy goes to work.
Rated R.
Xradint
ig Places: Eddie Mur

humorous prince-and-the-pauper
story. These two talents come
together to make one of the funniest
comedies released this summer. For
good entertainment come see this
one. Rated R.
Under Fire: More South
American intrique, this time with
Nicke Nolte and Gene Hackman.
Hopefully it's better than Beyond
the Limit. Rated R.

East
Black Cat and Cold Sweat:
They have got to be cheap horror
films, but if you're in the spirit, why
not? Rated R.
West
Still of the Night and Evil
Dead: There is no need to comment
on the second movie (if that's what it
is), but the first is a nice suspense
thriller with big name stars — Meryl
Streep and Roy Scheider. Rated R.
