Horror and hilarity:
6 Tremors’ terrifying
but terribly
By ANDREW GARDNER
Of The Battalion Staff
“Tremors” is not at all your stan
dard horror flick. It’s hilarious.
Rudder Auditorium was filled to
capacity for Aggie Cinema’s sneak
preview of the Film last week. In fact,
some moviegoers staked out places
to sit in the aisles because no seats
were left.
Although his performance is
amusing, Kevin Bacon will win no
critical acclaim for his starring role
as a vagrant worker hard up for
money and romance.
As the movie opens, he and co-
star Fred Ward are working on a
ranch where a young female college
student (played by Finn Carter) is
conducting seismological studies.
She cannot explain some strange
readings she has been measuring,
but the explanation comes too soon
for all of them.
“Tremors” contains all the stan
dard elements of the classic horror-
/disaster movie: a small group of
people cut off from any outside help
is ravaged by a muderous force. The
survivors try to stick together, but
are separated from time to time as
they try to save themselves from the
seemingly inevitable evil.
Of course, the movie also contains
the standard conflicts within the
group at critical moments, as well as
the requisite romantic interest. It
also comes complete with plenty of
slime and blood.
amusing
TREMORS
Starring Kevin Bacon
Directed by Ron Underwood
Rated PG-13
However, “Tremors” manages to
use these cliched devices to its ad
vantage. Although predictable, they
actually succeed in heightening the
overall suspense of the film.
Michael Gross of the syndicated
television show “Family Ties” and
country singer Reba McEntire make
an uproarious appearance as a
gung-ho militant couple armed with
just about every type of weapon
known to the Armed Forces.
Throughout the film, the
screenwriters effectively work such
humor into the horror. The two
blend increasingly well as the movie
progresses, making up for a shaky
beginning.
It wasn’t always easy to shift be
tween snickering and being shocked.
Watching an old farmer being
sucked into the ground is unde
niably hysterical, although the scene
clearly is meant to be terrifying.
The humor liberally sprinkled
throughout “Tremors” is a comfort
to those who have trouble dealing
with ordinary horror movies. The
laughs break up what would other
wise be long stretches of fear and
face-hiding for the more easily
scared.
Aggie Cinema preview:
Explicit East Woman'
sends shocking message
By ANDREW GARDNER
Of The Battalion Staff
Despite its X rating, “The Last
Woman” never could be de
scribed as a “hot” movie. Instead,
it has more of the effect of a cold
shower.
Far from giving the viewer
cheap thrills, the film is so dis
turbing it might even make celi
bacy seem momentarily appeal
ing.
“The Last Woman,” an Italian
film produced in French with En
glish subtitles, is the second movie
in Aggie Cinema’s International
Series. It will show Tuesday at
7:30 p.m. in Rudder Theater.
Tickets are $2.50.
The story deals with Gerard,
played by Gerard Depardieu, an
unemployed engineer trying to
support his baby boy, the product
of his failed marriage.
While picking up his son at the
day care center, Gerard is in
stantly attracted to Valerie, one of
the teachers, played by Ornelia
Muti.
They come to live together in
Gerard’s apartment, where al
most all of the action of the movie
takes place.
The film opens on a side of
France not seen by tourists. The
bleak industrial wasteland is a fit
ting backdrop for Gerard’s ster
ile, self-defeating actions.
His woman-haling, macho atti
tude is apparent from the begin
ning of the film. Gerard is the ex
treme of the unfeeling male.
Although physically a man, he
still grasps for maturity.
Gerard makes it clear that to
him, sexual prowess is the foun
dation of manhood. Before the
end of the movie, he will be
forced to face the shocking conse
quences of his belief.
The most significant result of
his male-dominant view is that it
makes him a slave. He comes to
realize that he cannot base his
manhood on his sexuality and still
remain in control of himself. He
ultimately makes a shocking re
jection of the sexuality that con
trols him.
Be forwarned that this movie
contains explicit nudity and sex
ual scenes. These scenes are espe
cially disturbing because of their
link with Gerard’s brutal, animal
like nature.
The film also contains an
equally disturbing violent scene at
the end of the film.
You will be warned about the
film’s explicit nature several times
before entering the theater. Do
not take these warnings lightly.
Crew’s cuisine a cut above
standard fare on cruise line
MIAMI (AP) — One of the plea
sures of taking a cruise is being
wined and dined aboard ship, com
plete with white linen, fancy flat-
ware, monogrammed china and
stewards at your service.
You might even be invited to sit at
the captain’s table to partake of the
culinary delights prepared by well-
trained chefs in institution-sized
kitchens.
But for a real treat, you probably
should catch a few bites of what the
crew cooks up for itself.
On board the SS Norway, they
chow down on a variety of ethnic
foods prepared in various galley-
sand served in nine dining rooms.
Although each dining room is desig
nated for a particular segment of the
ship’s staff, some crossover is per
mitted.
“Some of the tastiest meals are
prepared ... in the Chinese, Korean
and Jamaican kitchens,” says Bar
bara Birch, passenger services coor
dinator for Norwegian Cruise Line.
The primary reason for such var
ied fare is because the staff normally
includes at least 40 nationalities, says
Birch, a Brit who gave up a 17-year
career at Barclay’s bank in 1988 for a
life at sea.
The Chinese kitchen is just off the
laundry, where 16 Orientals clean
and press clothing and maintain the
ship’s linens and towels for some
2,000 passengers and 800 crewmen
during week-long Caribbean cruises
that depart from the Port of Miami.
There’s no elaborate setting here;
only a couple of tables next to some
large pressers.
Luichi Ma is head chef for the
Chinese and prepares his meals in
an apartment-size kitchen.
“I cook what I like or it depends
on what we have available,” says the
Hong Kong native.
Steamed rice is always available,
while main courses might include
beef in plum sauce, chicken with
oyster sauce and bean curd and ma
rinated pork with sliced mushrooms.
Down the passageway is the Ko
rean kitchen where Yoon Myung
Won of Seoul is in charge.
“I’m making oxtail soup with
boiled rice, fried fish, and I always
have kim chee,” he says. Kim chee is
vegetables in a spicy sauce, a
mainstay in his country.
Oliver Brown of Jamaica quit
cooking in island hotels five years
ago to run Norway’s kitchen for
crew members from the Caribbean
and those whose taste buds favor
spicy dishes.
“I’m preparing fricassee chicken,
refried rice and red beans — that’s
spicy, of course — brown stew and
red snapper,” he says.
Brown doesn’t want to cook for
passengers.
“For some, you can’t spice it too
much and one passenger wants a
steak medium, another wants it rare.
Here,” he says, “everybody likes it
hot.”
