triking Distance" is a
Tar cry from either of
The "Die Hard" films.
It lacks good quality production
and a meaningful dialogue.
Surprisingly, it's not Willis'
acting that will leave a bad taste
in your mouth. In fact, he im
pressively portrays a serious beat
cop, even without the help of his
typical, pompous wisecracks.
Willis plays the role of
Thomas Hardy, a dedicated Pitts
burgh police officer who is con
vinced a new serial killer is the
same man who killed his father
two years before, despite the fact
another man is in prison for the
murder.
Hardy's fellow police officers
despise him because he believes
someone in the department is his
father's murderer. Banned from
any further official investigation.
Hardy illegally persists in trying
to find the real killer, quickly
learning he can't trust anyone ex
cept his new partner, Jo Christen
(Sarah Jessica Parker).
Parker's well-acted portrayal
of Jo as an admirable, soft-spo
ken, strong-natured cop gains
Hardy's trust.
But while Jo and Tom motor
through the film's plentiful but
pitifully shot action scenes, the
poor lighting and choppy pro
duction quality gradually begin
to wear on one's patience.
Luckily, the suspenseful plot
fills the gaps here and there and
overcomes the shoddy produc
tion. Parker and Willis also save
the film by adding a sense of re
ality to Jo and Tom.
With the climactic plot and
great acting, watching the rest of
the "Striking Distance" becomes
less painful.
"Striking Distance" is not a
horrible film. You just might
want to hold out on seeing it un
til it comes out on video.

Newton-John copes with cancer
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES - Olivia New
ton-John says she's learned to
cope with breast cancer.
"A lot of it is in your mind.
You have to decide that you're go
ing to be OK,” Newton-John said
Tuesday. 'T'm healthy, fit and fine
now.”
She made her comments on
KCAL-TV's "Live in L.A.” talk
show. She did not discuss what
type of treatment she received for
the cancer.
The Australian-born singer and
actress disclosed she had breast
cancer in July 1992, saying it had
5,bc
been detected early. About 182,00
women will be diagnosed with
breast cancer this year in the Unit
ed States, and about 46,000 will
die from it, the American Cancer
Society estimates.
"It really refocused my life/'
she said. "When you go through
something like that, it puts every
thing else in perspective. I was
trying to be everything to every
body — I was Mom, 1 was trying
to save the world, and I was run
ning a business. 1 strongly believe
that illness is related to your mind
and stress and your feelings.”
Newton-John, who turns 45 on
Sunday, lives in Malibu with her
husband. Matt Lattanzi, and 7-
year-old daughter, Chloe.
Aggieland Entertainment pre
sents an exciting evening of
down-home opry entertainment
Saturday as the Texas Opry Jam
boree makes its debut appearance
in the Brazos Valley.
Based in Magnolia, Texas, the
Texas Opry Jamboree will per
form at the Bryan Civic Auditori
um featuring a variety of enter
tainment for all ages. The talent
will include country and gospel
music singers, fast country pickin'
and a generous dose of hillbilly
comedy.
Jack Weldon of Aggieland En
tertainment says the opry enter
tainment compares to the shows
and sound found in Branson, Mo.,
with the advantage of a lower cost
and a better location.
The opry also showcases local
entertainers such as fourteen-
year-old Kathy Ross from Bryan.
Ross
Ross has appeared on televi
sion's "Star Search" and has sung
the national anthem numerous
times at the Houston Astrodome.
She is a local favorite, singing
at many Aggie Baseball games
and other community events.
The doors open at 7:15, and
the show starts at 8:00. For reser
vations and information, contact
the MSC box office at 845-1234.
