Thursday, June 24,1993 The Battalion Page 5 Yearbook continued from page 4 motivated for a whole year of school," Cawthra said. Workshop director Randy El liott said approximately 320 stu dents and 60 yearbook advisers came to A&M to attend the workshop. Elliot said Taylor conducts over 30 workshops nationwide. He said the 45 schools that par ticipated range from junior high up to college level. The workshop included ses sions on beginning yearbook, ad vanced yearbook, newspaper and photography. There were also workshops available for the yearbook advisers. Cawthra said the students can get a head start on the year by "taking back" what they learned and accomplished. Shae Sheard, a returning stu dent from West Columbia High School in West Columbia, said she thinks it is a good idea that yearbook professionals are avail able to teach students and help them with their mistakes. "They helped me refine every thing I did last year," Sheard said. "Now I am ready to take on an even bigger responsibility this year." Yearbook adviser Carolyne Langston, from Queens Interme diate in Pasadena, said Taylor is successful in providing a lot of informative material in a short amount of time. Langston said it would be ide al if her students learn enough to supplement her teaching. "I want my staff to go back enthusiastic and teach the other students what they learned," Langston said. Cawthra said his goal is to ed ucate the students through fun activities. Joseph Chao, a Lake Olympia Middle School student from Mis souri City, said, "I think the workshop is enjoyable because you get to have fun while you get work done." A beginner yearbook staffer, Chao said he thinks the work shop has taught him everything there is to know about a year book. Yet, the workshop was not en tirely all work. Elliot said activi ties such as an ice cream social, movies, dancing and a casino party were scheduled in the evenings to entertain the stu dents. Cawthra said, "If they have the time and the money to go to the workshop, it is one of the greatest things they can do for their yearbook." continued from page 4 will also make you squirm in your seat for 90 minutes. You'll love the suspense, but it's almost as bad as being a faith ful watcher of "Moonlighting" and waiting two whole years just to observe the day the two main characters, David and Maddie, fi nally hook up. Sam is a recent widower who decides to move to Seattle to make a new life for himself and his young son Jonah (Ross Malinger). Jonah is growing tired of seeing his father depressed and decides to call into a psychologist's radio talk show to help his grieving dad. Annie, miles away in Balti more, is-involved in a boring rela tionship with Walter (Bill Pull man) who's best personality trait is holding in a sneeze. Annie's driving along listening to the radio when she hears Jon ah's story. She's tremendously af fected when she hears the sadness in Sam's voice. She instantly be comes a devoted listener, along with many other women in Amer ica. The only difference is Annie is destined to fall in love with this man she's never met. Ryan is charming in this film. She's as random as ever, and this makes her all the more lovable. That added wit Ryan's famous for distinguishes her from the girl next door. Although Sam is sad through out the film, you occasionally see his funny side. The problem is. Hanks' character never really sur faces. He plays a true saddened widower, but Hanks never trans forms at the times Sam's part is meant to. Jonah really adds meat to Han ks' character by constantly chal lenging him with clever wise cracks. His jokes are so shrewd and hilarious, you'll secretly wish you'd come up with them your self. He is only 8 years old, but I guarantee he has a vulnerable side. In fact, a sweet side that could easily force out a tear. Rosie O'Donnell is witty play ing Annie's editor and supportive friend. Rob Reiner is a natural at playing the buddy with all the an swers to dating in the '90's. Overall, this movie has all the qualities you'd look for in a ro mantic comedy. Not too much corn, not too much mush, but plenty of wit. I just hated the fact in waiting so darn long for the destined lovers to finally meet. Hey, at least when it comes out on video I can always fast forward! Turner continued from page 4 you'll feel a wrenching in your heart for Tina's life. When Anna Mae met Ike Turner (Laurence Fishburne) she was a vulnerable teenager with a very powerful voice. One particular night she had the chance to grab the micro phone and be in the spotlight. Ike was mesmerized by her mighty sound. He was the man who changed her name and her life... forever. Throughout the film, Bassett's talent shines through. She trans forms from playing the vulnera ble victim infatuated with Ike, into the independent and strong Tina we all know so well. You'll feel her pain in the beginning, and want to run up to the screen and save her. But somehow it's known that Tina's rough courageousness will soon come to her rescue. You become so involved and so glued to the scenes, you forget you're watching a movie. That's the way it should be. In addition to good acting, there's incredible music with such songs as "A Fool in Love" and "Proud Mary." The trials in Tina's life are ironi cally connected to her musical his-, tory. The lyrics of all her hit songs appropriately describe the emo tions Tina experiences. Tina has an energy in her singing that can leave an audience spellbound. Bassett faultlessly dis plays Tina's erotic and dynamic stage performances. She adds fire to the screen. Bassett becomes Tina. As for Fishburne, this man is one fine actor. He plays Ike so be lievably. You might grow to hate Fishburne himself. Even if you're not a Tina Turn er fan, the film will not be disap pointing. Whether it's the intensity of the music, the connection you feel toward Tina's life-long strife, or the overall story — "What's Love Got To Do With It" imparts a new found respect for Tina Turner. <■ i i i* J continued from page 4 the sting from the humor and any depth from the plot. The end re sult is bland. Another problem "The Last Ac tion Hero" faces is misleading ad vertising. Before the movie, many people probably thought it would be a Schwarzenegger film similar to "Raw Deal" or "Terminator." These were serious action movies, but "The Last Action Hero" is not. Jack Slater (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a hero in a se ries of action films watched avidly by 8-year-old Danny Madigan (Austin O'Brien). When Danny is pulled through a theater screen and into Slater's latest film, he finds himself surrounded by un likely villains and heroes. But in Slater's action-movie world, the heroes always win. When a crimi nal escapes from his world to our own, and Slater and Danny follow. Slater has to come to grips with the fact that in real life, bullets can kill the good guys too. "The Last Action Hero" is a well-conceived, but a poorly exe cuted production. Attempting to combine humor with a semi-serious plot caused both to fall a little flat. It's worth watching at least once, though. Idol continued from page 4 "Neuromancer," is also the name of a book by Gibson. In the "cyberpunk" universe, a subculture of hi-tech lowlifes arises, in the form of street gangs who make a living stealing infor mation off of the computer net, using neural interfaces and cut ting edge technology. Idol attempts to express this in the rhythmic, pounding tune "Wasteland," "I'm outa the Wasteland / I'm into this head- band / I'm outa the Wasteland / No religion at all / no reli gion...." Also featured on "Cyber punk" is "Shock to the System," Idol's song about last year's Los Angeles riots. Introduce the lyrics "L.A., burnin' bright / what a night! / it made my heart stand still! / and the world burns still." Idol and his production team used a home studio controlled by a Macintosh computer to pro duce the album, which It ex plains why some of the tracks don't have the energy of a live performance with real instru ments. "Adam in Chains" is es pecially slow and tedious. Overall, "Cyberpunk" was an extraordinary album, although anyone not versed in cyberpunk literature may not like it. It is much more "computerized" than Idol's previous work, and a few tracks sound more like new-wave dance music than hard rock. TEXAS HALL OF FAME Your#1 Live Country Night Spot! Thurs.
