Bluegrass Antic
The Austin Lounge
Lizards return to B/CS,
fighting to maintain
their irreverence
By William Harrison
The Battalion
Bluegrass does not describe
the Austin Lounge Lizards in
the strictest sense of the word.
However, the band has taken
great pains to not be described
in any strict sense.
How could you classify a band
that plays Pink Floyd’s “Brain
Damage” with a banjo?
“We don’t have a set rule or
pattern,” lead guitarist Conrad
Deisler said. “One day we were
sitting around playing ‘Brain
Damage,’ and Tom (Pittman)
joined in on banjo.
“We thought, ‘Hey, this would
make a pretty good bluegrass
song.’”
The band, formed in 1980, re
lies on bluegrass rhythm, but in
cludes in their repertoire any
thing from country ballads to
Cajun revelry.
But their reputation is staked
primarily in their satirical lyrics
and music, swiping at country
and bluegrass icons.
— Or anything else they can
find.
With songs such as “Put the
Oak Ridge Boys in the Slam
mer” to “Life is Hardest whet
you are Dumb” the band ha:
carved its irreverent reputati®
touring across the United State
and parts of Canada.
“We make fun of everythin;
we do,” F’ittman said.
But after making music
touring for fourteen years, hi

A ‘Slick’ sequel
By Jennifer Gressett
The Batealion
“City Slickers II: The Legend of
Curly’s Gold”
Starring: Billy Crystal, Daniel
Stern, Jon Lovitz and
Jack Balance
Directed by Paul Weiland
Rated PG-13
Playing at Schulman 6 and
Hollywood USA
The myth of the failing sequel
as an attempt to swindle audiences has
proven to be more than just fool’s gold in
“City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly’s
Gold.”
In the film, Billy Crystal and Daniel Stem
climb back into the saddle to pursue yet another
hilarious westward venture. A year has passed
since their first cattle drive and several changes
have taken place.
Life for Mitch (Crystal) seems to be better
than ever with his new jogging partner/pet cow,
Norman, and his promotion at the radio station.
He has even given his friend Phil (Stem) a job to
help him start anew.
Besides, Phil returning to his ex-wife would
be like “breaking back into Alcatraz.”
However, Mitch’s birthday is unexpectedly
turned on its ear with the sudden visit of his
brother Glen (Lovitz). Glen is “the vice presi
dent of lazy,” but somehow the brothers cope,
and Glen becomes the third amigo in the sequel
- filling the boots of the original’s Bruno Kir
by.
Their Wild West adventure begins when
Mitch finds a hidden treasure map in
the hat Curly left him. Together the
three saddle up their horses (and
cellular phones) to find the gold
“in them there hills.”
To their surprise, they
aren’t the only ones after the
treasure. Curly’s twin brother
Duke (Palance) joins in the hunt,
finally revealing “the one thing”
his brother kept secret.
As the four uncover the clues
leading to the gold, they must
make sacrifices sure to test their
friendship, as well as their
morals. What follows is a two-
hour comedy that will make
your ribs ache.
Director Paul Weiland
i? successfully combines the
elements of comedy and
nature to create wild western
humor. And as usual, Crystal’s
humor and production adds to the
success of the film as one of the
summer’s best comedies.
For fans of the original “City Slickers,” this
film is sure to deliver a laugh almost as loud as
the first. But beware: the fever for gold may be
catching — the end leaves it wide open for an
other sequel.
‘Speed’ big on action, short on acting
By Paul Neale
The Battalion
“Speed”
Starring Keanu Reeves, Dennis
Hopper, Sandra
Bulock, Joe Morton
and Jeff Daniels
Directed by Jan De Bont
Rated R
Playing at Hollywood USA
Looking for an action flick
that’ll sustain your pulse at
aerobic workout levels for al
most two hours? Well, look no
further.
This summer’s first action
movie, “Speed,” goes from 0-50
mph and doesn’t let up.
Jack Traven (Keanu
Reeves), a fearless, quick
thinking Los Angeles police
man on SWAT detail, goes up
against a maniacal, mad
bomber, Howard Payne (Den
nis Hopper),
After Traven foils Payne’s
attempt to collect several mil
lion dollars of ransom in a
hostage situation, Payne tries a
new, improved approach. He
rigs a city bus with a bomb that
arms itself at 50 mph, detonat
ing if the bus slows down.
Creative, huh?
Dennis Hopper (left) holds Jeff Daniels (middle) and Keanu
Reeves (right) in check during the action movie “Speed.”
A freak mishap on the bus
lands Annie (Sandra Bullock)
in the driver’s seat and leaves
Traven to navigate. Annie’s
speeding tendencies (she’s rid
ing the bus because her license
has been revoked) and her opti
mism comes in handy on the
mass transit time bomb.
F'ortunately, Reeves’ dry
performance doesn’t handicap
the movie too much.
Such scenes as Traven con
soling Annie during the har
rowing bus ride sound some
what unnatural and insincere.
Ted, rather Reeves, might have
had an easier time with “Whoa
dude, this mess is really bo
gus.”
He does well with action,
however, it’s his acting that
needs work.
Playing the part of a neurot
ic man robbed by the System,
Hopper turns in a believably
diabolical performance.
This fast-paced film doesn’t
have any substantial lulls in it.
In fact, the film takes several
sudden, high-speed turns.
And in keeping with action
movie protocol, “Speed’s” ten
sion-breaking one-liners offer
some light-hearted moments.
So if your summer could use
a change of pace, and you
aren’t pregnant and don’t have
a heart condition, “Speed” is an
entertaining ride.
