Dead Zone: Christopher Walken stars as a man who gains precogni tion in a car accident. Martin Sheen also is in this adaptahon of a novel by Stephen King. Rated R.

Richard Pryor Here and Now: More of Pryor, this time in New Orleans. Expect the usual topics — sex, drugs and growing up. Rated R.

Mom: Michael Keaton in the title role finds out what being a domestic engineer is all about, the hard way. Rated R. Trading Places: For those who have been away for the entire second act of 1983, this is a very funny movie with Dan Akroyd and Eddie Murphy. Rated R. Skyway Twin Drive-In 822-3300 East Freightman and The Tool Box Murder: It's another "would you like it sliced or chopped?" double feature. If you go see it, try counting the scary musical phrases right be fore characters "get it." Rated R. West Escape 2000 and Timewal- ker: The former is a bit obscure, but the second show is a fairly good movie that was passed over in the early spring. It was produced by Michael Nesmith of "Elephant Parts" infamy. Rated PG. — At Ease Benefit concert aids rock guitarist by Louis Hilgartner 3 \ Editor Rebeca Zimmermann Assistant Editor ..
