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."

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.

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.
