"Born in East LA."
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.

"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

bold. The hues range from Kelly
green to canary yellow to
chartreuse.
You can take your pick in
fabrics for both coats and
sweaters this year. Coats come
in anything from cashmere to
alpaca to dyed fur, and stretch
fabrics of all colors work
beautifully for sweaters.
The shape in coats is
everything but stuffy. The
shorter and swingier, the better.
It seems that colors are quite
important this year, with the
traditional fall colors ranking in
their usual popularity.
However, the newest fall color
is red. A lipstick-red suit for the
office is going to be a nice
addition to the working
woman’s wardrobe.
Red is also a great attention-
getter for evening wear. Red
velvet, satin and lace are sure to
turn some heads as you make a
grand entrance at any party.
Also great for evening is the
little black dress that’s been
around forever. However, this
year’s little black dress is
anything but simple with its
skin-baring stretch lace and fur
trims.
Those of you who are
graduating this fall and wonder
what’s in for the office look,
■v^Y-xevt is «^xp>TpTL:c^>Tp>T-i<aX.e ix~i
is to look at what your superiors
are wearing. Whatever they can
get away with, you should be
able to get away with as well.
For women, the shorter skirts
are usually OK at work but you
should wear stockings that
match the skirt and the shoes.
You want to be one color from
the waste down so as not to call
attention to your shorter skirts
and longer legs.
Jackets are very traditional in
office situations, and fitted
jackets are hot this year.
The fit of your jacket is
important and if it doesn’t fit,
get it altered. The fit is worth the
price of an alteration.
You should also remember
that the shorter hemlines
require a little reproportional
thinking in reference to jackets.
They should fit narrowly over
the hips and nip the waistline,
while not fitting tightly.
As far as men go, you
already know what to wear
since men have always been in
the office environment.
However, suits still look the
most professional. Many places
allow slacks and sports coats,
but once again you should look
to your co-workers for help.
With almost everything you
wear you’ll want exciting
s\_x\z> cA\ a \z><z>\ci. - ' V *T OVi. sY\OVJl\c3l
choose the style according to
what you’re wearing, what you
want to emphasize and how
many people you’d like to
notice you.
Now that we’ve got our
bodies in synch with the new
trends, we really must update
our home decorations. It seems
that anything inflatable is the
way to go when redecorating.
And when I say anything, I
mean from palm trees to food.
Yes, you can pull out your
inflatable rafts from summer or
your beach balls and leave
them all over your apartment
and look very fashionable.
Word has it that you can
even buy inflatable animals, ice
buckets and desserts. That way
you won’t have to clean up
messes, your ice won’t melt and
you won’t gain any weight.
The main thing you want to
remember this fail is that in
today’s fashion world, anything
goes. No one is going to dare to
tell you you’re wrong because
all is right. These tips above are
simply the newest in the hall
closet and if you don’t like them
or can’t afford them, don’t
sweat it You’ll look great in
whatever you feel great
wearing.
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.
