Mel Gibson and director Peter Weir, despite stellar
careers, were never better than in this epic of the
Australian Expeditionary Forces fighting a desper

from "Battlestar Galactica."

sequel to "Gallipoli" and a true story.

American Indian genre. (What is the Native Ameri
can Indian genre?) An outcast Indian, seeking a vi
sion of the old ways,, revitalizes a tribe which has

La Femme Nikita
In a film that won many International Film
Awards, the French unleash a different kind of lethal
weapon, a sexy reformed street punk whose penance
for killing a police officer is to turn her cold-blooded
skills over to the state as an assassin. This is a film
which goes where James Bond and Rambo couldn't
in a thousand sequels.
Extreme Prejudice
Nick Nolte is the Texas border town sheriff who
must deal with an elite team of Army Green Berets
who have taken the drug war into their own hands.
The cast is the All-Star game of character actors.

Majesty's forces in India to procure a throne in

shooter whose quest for corporate profits turns the
Australian outback upside down and unleashes
global nuclear war.

Breaker Morant
Edward Woodward (TV's "The Equalizer") teams
with Bryan Brown in a rare film (based on a true sto

"Gallipoli/^ which deals with the human spirit rather
than military objectives.
Talk Radio
America is dying because it has no soul. Eric Bo-
gosian is the Jewisn disc jockey in Dallas who rides
negative airwaves to his own destruction. A true
story.
Spike of Bensonhurst
Sasha Mitchell is the Mafia kid whose boxing

must for Italians or Italian wanna-bes.
