Below is the OCR text representation for this newspapers page. It is also available as plain text as well as XML.

    principal encounters
include teachers who do
not want to teach and
students who want to run
the school. Latimer starts
cracking down on the
drug traffic and violence
in school and does his
best to see that each
student gets an education,
whether they like it or not.
This action upsets
several of the teachers
and, of course, Duncan,
who thinks he owns the
school. The subsequent
scenes center on the
battle between Latimer
and Duncan for control of
Brandel.
The performances
given by Belushi as
Latimer and Louis
Gossett Jr. as Phillips are
superb. They both give
tough but realistic
portrayals of their
characters. Rae Dawn
Chong also does a fine
job as Hilary Orozco, a
history teacher at Brandel.
Latimer’s character is
the most endearing in the
movie. The new principal
is not fault free, as
evidenced by his recent
divorce and subsequent
attack on his fomer wife’s
date. He does, however,
have a devotion to his
new job and does
everything in his power to
turn Brandel into a
learning institution.
The script is
intelligently written, the
characters are believable
and the story is interesting
and involving. This movie
should easily prove to be
one of the better films of
the fall.
