WarGames: Matthew Broderick
plays a simple computer game that
becomes much more in this farcical
look at the arms race. Rated PG.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Rud
der theatre.
Victor/Victoria: Julie Andrews,
Robert Preston and James Garner
camp it up in this story of bawdy
love and role reversal. Rated PG.

Dr. Strangelove: Stanley
Kubrick's farce about nuclear war,
those dirty Russians and a few
crazed Americans who just happen
to be the ones with power.
Thursday.
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.
Nate and Hayes: A total adven
ture film with almost no plot. We're
talking about heavy use of stuntmen
and very little else. Rated PG.
A Night i
: in Heaven: Christopher
Atkins makes some bucks the easy
way, that is taking off his clothes in a
male strip joint. Oh, he also falls in
love with his high school teacher,
Leslie Ann Warren, who just hap
pens to see him there. So that's what
they do after happy hour. Rated R.
Manor East
823-8300
An the Right Moves: Tom
Cruise, hot off his role in Risky Busi
ness, stars in the story of a high
school football player trying to get a
college scholarship. Rated R.
L/eal of the Century: Chevy
Chase tries one more time. He
hasn't scored with a decent comedy
since Foul Play, but with co-stars
Sigourney Weaver and Gregory
Hines he may have a shot. 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.
Risky Business: A delightful
change of pace as far as teen-age
adventures go. This particular film
has wit and charm despite a few plot
problems. Probably one of the most
underrated films of the summer and
fall. Rated R.
Never Say Never Again: Sean
Connery returns as James Bond to
save the world from nuclear terror
ism. Bond goes from England to the
Bahamas and the South of France in
pursuit of his long-time enemy,
Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Rated PG.
Pieces: A flick said to be one of
those films where people "saw
women in two." Rated R.
Schulman Six
775-2468
Amityville 3-D: If your idea
of entertainment is to have disgust
ing things jump out at you, here is
your chance for some real fun.
Rated R.
The Big Chill: With a fantastic
ensemble cast and fine direction this
movie ranks in the year's top ten. It
is the story of old college friends
having a reunion after the suicide of
one of their friends. Rated R.
A. Christmas Story: Lots of
laughs with Santa and the elves as
Christmas gets the hard sell in 1983
style. Rated R.
Th e Grey Fox: You'll have to
guess what this one's about. Rated
PG.
^^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.

On the cover: 1984 looms
ever closer as 1983 draws to a
close. Much attention has
been focused on George
Orwell's book "1984," which
deals with thought control,
re-written history and domi
nation of human lives. See
pages 5, 8 and 9 for a look at
some of the book's more dis
turbing issues. Co\ er art by
Scoff McCuWar.
