Masterson and Depp create an oddball couple
‘Benny & Joon is a quirky, sweet comedy
Mary Stuart Masterson, Johnny Depp and Aidan Quinn star in the charming and offbeat romance "Benny and Joon," which opens this Friday.
By JENNY MAGEE
The Battalion
"Benny &Joon"
Starring Johnny Depp, Mary
Stuart Masterson and
Aidan Quinn
Directed by Jeremiah Chechik
Rated PG
Starts Friday at Manor East III
"Benny & Joon," a skillful com
bination of all the subtle humor
and secret pain associated with
life, love and relationships, is un
questionably one of the first
must-see movies of this year.
Benny (Aidan Quinn), the seri
ous car mechanic, seems like he
would have been more likely to
share a gene pool with a math
teacher than his carefree sister
Joon. Joon (Mary Stuart Master-
son) is an expressive painter, the
master chef of a peanut butter and
Captain Crunch milkshake, and a
schizophrenic.
The most entertaining and
sometimes stressful part of Ben
ny's life is curtailing all the cata
strophes his sister's mental con
dition gets her into. Benny is a
devoted brother and wants to do
everything possible to avoid
putting Joon into the community
home as her psychiatrist sug
gests.
Their lives take an interesting
twist when Joon loses a poker
game to one of Benny's work
buddies, rendering her responsi
ble for the mans very weird
cousin, Sam. Sam (Johnny Depp)
is the classic clown. With the big
fat "WEIRD" that society has
stamped on Sam's forehead, his
skillful Charlie Chaplin imper
sonations and innovative culi
nary skills (like the ability to
steam iron grilled cheese) make
him the perfect soul-mate for
Joon.
"Benny & Joon" possesses
every element that makes a
movie memorable- humor, a
touching story line and excellent
character development.
Masterson and Depp both give
their characters such sincerity
and depth that viewers feel com
pelled to sympathize with them.
However, if Sam and Joon were
real people, no one would care
about their problems. Because
they are up on a movie screen,
their mental inadequacies be
come cute and sweet because
they make a good story.
This is not a movie about men
tal illness; it's a movie about deal
ing with life and relationships
Yes, the characters are people
with mental problems, but theii
actions sometimes make a lol
more sense than some of the ac
tions of the sane world.
"Benny & Joon" is a wonder
fully odd film. In accordance
with the message of disregard for
social norms, it would be a nice
touch if MGM would forego the
typical movie sound track and
other paraphernalia and releases
"Benny & Joon" cookbook. Thai
way if the beautiful story of "Ben
ny & Joon" fails to touch a view
er's heart, at least they've got ac
cess to great recipes for steam-
ironed grilled cheese and peanut
butter and Captain Crunch milk
shakes.
Reveille
Continued from Page 3
lection stations around campus and collected
money for two weeks so she could earn the ti
tle of general."
Although now only members of E-2, called
"Rebel-E," hold the mascot corporal position.
Reveille once belonged to the band. E-2 took
control of the Aggie mascot from the band af
ter a severe storm one night in 1952.
"The band kept her in a cage outside the
dorms," said Argo. "One night some E-2
'Rebels' were walking by and took her into
their dorm. They have had her since then."
Though they have shared the same name,
each Reveille has had her own history.
"Reveille I wandered all over campus," said
Lively. "She didn't have anyone specific to
take care of her as she does today."
The first Reveille was also in the movie
"We've Never Been Licked," Lively said.
In addition to biting Texas Christian Univer
sity's football coach, Walter Roach, in 1957,
Reveille II distinguished herself as the only
mascot to have puppies, Lively said.
^ "She had 10 puppies in 1952, five males and
five females," he said. "Sixty band members'
parents wanted the puppies so they went to
the first 10 names on the list."
Reveille III was the first collie to wear the
five diamonds that symbolize her rank of gen
eral. The earlier mascots were not purebreds,
Heath said.
"She (Reveille III) had an overbite and
couldn't drink from a bowl," Lively said. "So
she would jump up and drink from water
fountains."
The fourth Reveille was the most lively of
the mascots thus far. Heath said.
"Reveille IV was the most acrobatic and en
ergetic of the mascots," Heath said. "She used
to perform at halftime of basketball games.
She would catch frisbees and do flips."
Reveille V, the current mascot, was nick
named "Maybe" by her breeder when si
made the first cut in the new mascot selectio:
process, Scheumack said.
Heath has used details such as these to
him decide who Reveille's next caretaker wil
be.
"As it gets closer. I've had to spend moii
time quizzing the candidates and getti
know them in order to make an informed
sion," he said.
Past mascot corporals have learned a lol
from the job. Junior Greg Riels, mascot corpo
ral '91-'92, said, "It's like having a child for)
year."
Heath said, "As mascot corporal, I'vt
learned even more respect for her and othei
traditions on campus. Everywhere you
you take into account that you're walking with
a lady."
Client
Continued from Page 3
Ladies and gentlemen, you can
unbuckle your seatbelts. The
chase is on, but it's not high speed
pursuit.
Grisham hasn't given us the
usual fast food mystery fare in
"The Client." We're at the Olive
Garden and we're going to enjoy
our meal. Sure, Grisham over
loads the story with familiar
Mafia thugs and pompous attor
neys but he offers pieces of reality
in Dianne Sway, the overworked
single mom, and Mark, whose
blend of maturity and mischief is
entertaining.
Grisham's real victory is Reggie
Love, the sort of character women
in Hollywood have been begging
for . . ja real one. Candice Bergen
could play her if she shed the
"Murphy Brown" stigma, but if
they sell out and cast a woman
under forty there'll be protests!
Outrage! (And no Macaulay "
Sulkin' " Culkin as Mark either.)
Love is a lawyer for the nineties
and hopefully a recurring charac
ter in Grisham's upcoming novels;
two in the next two years.
For those of you who thought
Grisham could only write roller
coaster suspense, this is moreofa
waterslide. It doesn't haveas
many life-threatening twists and
turns but it's still fast-paced and
just as fun. Don't be surprisedil
Grisham has an entire amusement
park up his sleeve. This one-man
mystery machine has proved once
more that he's not running out of
fuel anytime soon.
