And the plot of Cliffhanger isn't any more complex. Stallone, Rooker, and Turner are members of Rocky Mountain Rescue — an organization that saves stranded campers and mountain-climbers. International criminal Eric Qualen (John Lithgow), is stranded along with his gang after losing $100 million of stolen money in a plane crash, and forcibly recruits Stal lone and Rooker to help find it. This basic plot serves as the ve hicle to carry the characters from one precarious position to the next. Although the plot is simple, the stunning backdrop of the Italian Alps and the unending action make this movie one well worth watching. y life le to them, ize that your n other peo- ?ep knocking A^ill find the ons." national stn- ided services international She said the he students ion checkin ) volunteers ? students to , take them er questions :M. lent Orienta- 1 on May 21 y organized rouraged to ved with in ions," Cain program is rnationals to comfortable oidberg i "Made al Jack- ir sales- rs" fan, Ik with rowboy after a r grew, s pure Coonts continued from page 4 international black market. Although the plot's basic premise is excellent, it suffers from an attempt to bring too many cur rent events into the novel in fic tional form. His tale of Nigel Keren, a British billionaire found floating dead behind his yacht off the Canary Islands, is obviously a thinly disguised account of the death of British mogul Rupert Murdoch. The way Coonts scram bles to link too many current crises into the plot is awkward and strains the credibility of the book. Also, the attention to technical detail which was so evident in Coonts' other books is sometimes lacking in this one - especially when compared to "Flight of the Intrud er." Coonts' experience with and knowledge of the A6 Intruder shone through in that book, and his sketchy knowledge of Soviet mili tary machines is evident in this one. However, his seat-of-the-pants flying sequences are just as finely rendered and thrilling as ever, along with an immensely satisfy ing conclusion. If you liked Coonts other books, or those of Tom Clancy, "The Red Horseman" is definitely worth reading. But, don't expect perfection. McKone continued from page 4 ole' bass, it quickly becomes dry and makes you beg for "Sing" to end. The rest of the album becomes just as monotonous and might lead one to ask — so, where's the flavor? McKone's pleasant voice doesn't need loud music to show her obvious natural talent. The songs just need more spunk, vari ety and a stronger beat. Yet, she's the type of singer I would only enjoy while driving around with my mother. The songs may be soft and a bit repeti tious, but I know that Vivienne's unique voice would keep me from begging, "Mom, can I please change the station?" ‘Made’ continued from page 4 war. The comebacks they play up against one another are humor ous. Even when they hate each other, the entertainment never ceases. Danson and Goldberg were a great match. Their chemistry could produce more static electric ity than a wool sweater clinging to a piece of velcro. I've never seen two people so sincerely real in a movie. I've also never seen Goldberg so happy in the presence of a male character. They are just precious together. With Danson and Goldberg's characters fighting through the film, Zora becomes the focus of their developing relationship. Long plays a smart teenager determined to find out who her father is. She does a remarkable job at developing Zora's character into something believable. While Long played the peace maker, her best friend Tea Cake Walkers, (aka Fresh Prince) nearly made me piss in my pants. In one scene. Tea Cake is stuck in a room alone which is designated for the process of donating semen. Need I say more? Don't get me wrong, this movie is not all about sperm banks or sperm jokes. This minor aspect merely connects these wonderful characters and makes them realize the true meaning of family. "Made In America" is worth sit ting through the boring first half to see what becomes of these priceless characters. Believe me, you're going to want to hug the screen, too.

Spielberg's 'Jurassic Park' brings dinosaur theme park to life with computers, high-tech state-of-the-art, three-dimensional THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN JOSE, Calif. — "Jurassic Park," a thriller about a dinosaur theme park gone mad, is a mile stone in the increasingly popular coupling of computers and films. According to those who worked on Steven Spielberg's $56 million film, "Jurassic Park," represents a new level in the high-tech-Holly- wood connection. In most movies, when they portray computers they don't show computers because they think they only can be run by priests as a rule," said Mike Back- es, supervisor of the computer dis play graphics in the film. Computers not only were used in the filming and post-production work, but to create the dinosaurs themselves. One million dollar's worth of computer workstations running graphics software are featured in the control room. Workstations are inexpensive, high-powered com puters. According to publicists, Spiel berg even used digital direct tie lines that delivered broadcast- quality images so he could edit the film by satellite while he was in Poland, filming the holocaust story "Schindler's List." The tie between computers and movies goes back many years. "Subliminally, it was a lot of the "B" movies of the '50s that a lot of kids were raised on (that led them) to kind of embrace the fu ture as having not necessarily evil but definitely wild technology," Backes said. But not until the 1980s did the capabilities of computer graphics and 3-D imaging gain wide accep tance in the film industry.
