Written and directed by Cheech Marin Starring Cheech Marin #*♦ In his first major movie roll without Tommy Chong, Cheech Marin is breaking new ground for himself. Not only is this his first attempt at soloing in something major, but it also indicates a welcome change of style for Marin. The humor of Cheech and Chong wore thin after their first two movies and it hit a low in “The Corsican Brothers,” their last movie together. In “Bom in East LA. ” Marin drops all of the marijuana jokes and most of the bathroom humor is gone except for an occasional fiatulation reference. Marin plays the part of Rudy Roblez, an auto mechanic who lives in East Los Angeles with his mother, sister, and sister’s children. When Rudy goes to pick up his cousin who just arrived in town, he gets caught in a raid by U.S. Immigration officers and is mistaken for an illegal alien. Rudy is then deported to Mexico and spends the rest of the movie trying to get back into the United States. After he fails to convince the border officials that he is an American citizen, Rudy tries to find work in Tijuana so he can earn enough money to buy his way back the illegal way. He eventually finds the work but has trouble getting across the border. The movie drags some in the beginning, but once Rudy finds himself in Tijuana it develops an interesting story line along with some likeable characters. The best scenes center around Rudy's attempts to outwit the border patrol. There are a few very funny scenes, but as a comedy this is an average to below average movie. It does, however, provide a very enjoyable look at the hispanic culture of East Los Angeles as well as the lives of the people just south of the border who are trying to immigrate into the United States. Marin was able to depict these people in a sympathetic, light hearted way that is not always realistic but gets the point across without preaching. It is this element that makes “Bom in Fast L.A. ” worth seeing. It is by no means a classic, but it is better than the average movie. —Review by Tom Reinarts "Misery" Stephen King Viking Press $18.95 Paul Sheldon, a historical romance novelist, wakes up one winter morning to indescribable pain. He has suffered two shattered legs and a crushed knee. He finds himself in a room that closely resembles a hospital. But abusive instruments such as blow-torches, axes and electric knives replace standard operating equipment Instead of a doctor, Paul is greeted by a half-crazed, overweight ex-nurse who has just saved his life and says: “I’m your number one fan. “Misery” by Stephen King is a novel within a novel. King creates the character of Paul Sheldon who has just written a series of best sellers in which Misery Chastain is the man character. But Paul’s last book in the series was different. It was "nasty” and Annie is furious. Stephen King’s creation of the psychotic nurse, Annie Wilkes, may be his most horrifying so far out of his 18 fiction novels. Annie has a manic-depressive nature that guides her strange sense of good and bad, just and unjust. She lives in wonderland, where up is down and down is up. It’s not fair, for example, that Paul has killed Annie’s favorite character in his latest best-seller recently released in paperback. “You...you...you cockadoodie dirty bird!” Annie shouts at him while he’s seething in pain. “She can’t be dead! I thought you were good, but you are not good. You are just a lying old dirty birdie.” And Annie doesn’t think killing someone with a lawnmower is bad — as long as that person is a dirty bird. Since Annie wants Paul to be good, she buys him paper and a typewritter (with missing keys) and tells him to simply bring Misery back to life. Wheelchair bound, drug- dependent and locked in a room with an audience of one, Paul is forced to create Misery while in misery himself. Along with the novel-within-a- novel motif, “Misery” also contains a theme within a theme. Paul has to overcome one kind of misery while bringing another back to life. And for him to keep writing “trashy romance novels” about Misery Chastain is a third misery in itself. Unlike most of King’s books, this one is not complex in plot, instead the complexity arises in character development. King shows torment of the mind as the focus of the novel. This psychological theme dominates the book. King gives his readers clues subtly through character dialogue, and also through Paul’s realization that there is no arguing with insanity. Like a lot of horror stories, the ending is predictable. But predictable as it may be, it hooks you, pulls you under and won’t let you go uo«l you ronv» up gasping for air. You must read every last terrifying, gruesome detail —Review by Janet Goode a Looking for a Barber Shop? ■ Look for a Barber Pole i Looking for a Good Barber? !

Knock ’em dead with colored gemstones DALLAS (AP)-Flirty, feminine skirts and dresses; sporty, above-the-knee knits; fur-trimmed jackets adorned with peplums; ever-so-daring backless evening wear — Fall ’87 offers a look for every mood and a fit for every figure. To complement these versatile fashions, the American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) says knock 'em dead with color in a bevy of brilliant gemstone jewelry designs. “A colored gemstone jewelry creation is one of the few pieces in a fashion wardrobe that endures from season to season and year to year,” notes Maurice Shire, president of AGTA, a non profit organization representing the colored gemstone industry. ’Warm spice, paprika, pumpkin, chocolate and pearlized taupe highlight fall’s rich selection of warm brown tones. To complement these brown tones for special occasion wear, AGTA recommends elegant rings, necklaces and earrings adorned by topaz, a gemstone that is found in several colors including yellow, champagne and sherry'. For warm brown tones for office and weekend wear, AGTA suggests bold jewelry creations featuring citrine, a gemstone that is more durable and less expensive than topaz. A citrine’s color can range from pale yellow to intense red-gold known as “Madeira.” Found in Brazil and Madagascar, citrine ranges in size from two millimeters to as large as 1,000 carats, making it a perfect choice for chunky, sculptural jewelry designs. Wine country colors such as mauve, pink, rose, burgundy and purple bring a Renaissance feeling to fall. Ranging in color from royal purple to pale lilac (rose de France), amethystis a durable gemstone that’s right for these fashions. Look for jewelry pieces with i large, unusual “designer”-cut ! amethysts to add pizzazz to your jewelry wardrobe. A purplish-red gemstone with pink undertones, the rhodolite garnet, the five-year j anniversary stone, also is good with wine country colors. Two of the most unusual rhodolite garnets are the cabochon (non-faceted) and four-legged “star” stones.
