'Regarding Henry'
overly sentimental
Continued from page 3
over some of his old cases, he real
izes that much of what he did was
wrong. He also sees his "friends"
for the superficial, backstabbing
people that they are. These real
izations help him break away from
the past and dedicate himself to a
new life with his family.
Although this film doesn't ex
actly offer pat solutions, it isn't
terribly danng or suspenseful ei
ther; most of the plot developments
are telegraphed way ahead of time.
The financial implications of the
injury are discussed, but never re
ally seem to threaten the family.
The rehabilitation process also
seems amazingly quick. Impor
tant issues like parenting, class
prejudice and gun control are
touched on, but not delved into
very deeply. The central message
of the film, namely that even m
adults, playfulness and a childlike
openness and innocence are valu-
aole traits, has been dealt with be
fore in films like "Big" and more
recently, "What About Bob?".
Harrison Ford's sincere, be
lievable performance as Henry,
and the excellent support he gets
from Bening, Allen, and especially
Nunn constitute this film's saving
grace.
MTV records
"Street Party"
Continued from page 3
"Tension was there between
us and the city," Whittington said,
'but by the end of the night, we
were getting lots of compliments.
The city gave us a thumbs-up - no
arrests, no fights or riots."
"I had predicted 4,000-5,000,
but some or the fire marshals esti
mated up to 10,000," he said. "MTV
only expected 700 to 1000,"
Whittington said. "I talked to them
later, and they said they’ll remem
ber the Aggies."
College Station's MTV "Street
Party" is tentatively scheduled to
be aired August 23, hopefully after
MTV is back on the air in town. "If
MTV isn’t back on, they’re going to
send a signal directly to the club,
and we’ll air it here," Whittington
said.

No, thank you. World Party
Band's latest package not as good as previous work
by Timm Doolen
World Party
Thank You World
Chrysalis Ensign
On World Party's latest
release,Thank You World, the
band shows off some of their
old stuff (and some even older
stuff) in a seemingly intentional
tribute to the sounds of classic
rock.
The nine-track EP includes
three versions of the title song,
which originally appeared on
last year's incredible Goodbye
Jumbo, along with a remix of "Is
It Too Late?" from the same
album. As far as remixes go,
these are OK, but on both songs
the remixer puts a generic dance
beat behind the normal tracks,
which doesn't mesh well with the
rock feel of the original versions
or, for that matter, the other tracks
on the album.
Of the five "new" songs, they
are basically a tribute to rock 'n'
roll of a previous generation, in
cluding a literal cover of the Bea ties'
classic "Happiness Is a Warm
Gun." In fact, the reading is so true
to the original that it is almost mu
sically uninteresting (there's noth
ing new to sink your teeth into),
except as a tribute to a powerful
influence in the career of Karl
Wallinger, the band's creative
force.
Another track, "You're Invited
to a Party," sounds dangerously
similar to The Doors' "Roadhouse
Blues," both musically and vocally.
"S.E.X." is the only song that has
the '80s or '90s feel to it, extolling
the virtues of America's favorite
pastime.
"Watching and Waiting" is a
beautiful ballad and the best new
song on the album, which is in
teresting because World Party's
strength in the past has always
been in their faster, harder songs.
The final new track, "Na
ture Girl," is a combination of a
'50s "doo-wap" song mixed with
Beach Boys' harmony and lyrics
and '60s sound effects, includ
ing a full minute of nothing but
bird noises.
The EP is admittedly a col
lection of odds and ends, mostly
remixes and songs not released
in the United States before now,
and as such cannot truly be com
pared to their other albums.
Thank You Wolrd has an incom
plete feel to it that is almost an
noying in that you can sense the
skill of the group, but the tracks
leave you wanting more.
It is worth checking out to
get a feel of World Party's gen
eral sound and influences, but if
you're really interested in hear
ing some of their better stuff, try
their first album. Private Revolu
tion, or the even better Jumbo.
