By William Harrison Mac devilishly cruel in The Battalion "The Program" Starring James Caan, Craig Sheffer, Omar Epps, Halle Berry and Kristy Swanson Directed by David S. Ward Rated R Playing at Schulman VI ‘Good Son’ II It would certainly seem that "The Program" is all about college football. After all, the film features what fans drool about in the game - bone-smashing hits, quick slashing runs weaving impossibly through the heart of a defense and "Mail Mary" passes caught in the endzone with no time remaining. "The Program's" visual ef fects are astounding; its pac ing and action engage and entertain the audience as the fictional Eastern State foot ball program rides a rocky season, loaded with the big- time pressures of a national- ly-prominent football power. Yet, a film that aims to capture the essence of college football misses the mark with its heavy-handed morality and lack of character devel opment, selling the movie short on fourth and inches. At the helm of Eastern State is head coach Sam Win ters (James Caan) carrying Macaulay (Mac) Culkin See Trogram'/Page 5 By Lesa Ann King djtkz BA7TAiim "The GoodSon* Starring Macftt Wood, ig f . , Wendy Crew*on, Dave h. and Jaejjaeline ttiooke* mKKtM Directed try Joseph Ruben Rated R Playing at Schulman VI Director of ’"Sleeping with the Ene my," Joseph Ruben, once again com bines evil and suspense in his new him "The Good Son." " The Good Son" brings together two boys - the sweet, innocent and trusting Mark Evans (Lhjah Wood) and the de vious, unexpected had hoy Henry Evans (Macaulay Culkin). Mark's father must leave for Japan on a business trip. So, Mark goes to Maine to live with his Unde Jack and Aunt Susan after the recent death of his mother. A bright, lovable young hoy, Mark quickly makes friends with his cousins, Connie Evans (Quinn Culkin) See 'Good Son'/Rage 5 De Niro’s ‘slice-of-life’ directing debut By Joe Leih The Battalion "A Bronx Tale" Starring Robert De Niro, Chazz Palminteri and Lillo Brancato Directed by Robert De Niro Rated R Playing at Cinema III Craig Sheffer stars as Joe Kane, the star quarterback. The release of "A Bronx Tale" marks the birth of yet another film in the endless list of Mafia flicks. But thankfully, this one (written by Chazz Palminteri and based on his play) stands out. Palminteri bypassed the tired gangster story line and with help from debuting di rector, Robert De Niro, took a fresh "slice-of-life" ap proach to a story about a young man and the choice he has to make. It's the turbulent 60s - Francis Capra and Robert De Niro star in "A Bronx Tale." % protest and reform have swept the nation - but in Calogero's (Lillo Brancato) poor New York neighbor hood, the status quo still reigns. Delinquent youth hang out on the street corner, crime bosses run the street and hatred for blacks lives in tensely in the hearts of the residents. Calogero knows he must eventually decide whether or not to follow the hostile, crime-ridden life his environ ment encourages. And the utter pain and ambiguity sur rounding his choice is bril liantly brought out by two deep and complexccharacters offering their advice. Sonny (Chazz Palminteri), a neighborhood Mafia man, constantly encourages Calogero to pursue a loftier life than crime. Yet Calogero, always in Sonny's presence, witnesses Sonny brutally seize power and wealth through criminal mayhem. And Calogero's father, Lorenzo (Robert De Niro), adamantly warns his son to disregard any of Sonny's preaching. As a poor, blue collar bus driver, Lorenzo distrusts Sonny's way of life.
