The most over-hyped horror film of the summer is nothing more than a bunch of film pro moters crying “Wolf.” In an attempt to venture into the wild kingdom of the super natural, the writers of this film left out one important thing — a well-developed plot. Jack Nicholson plays Will Randall, the editor-in-chief of a major New York publishing com pany. The film opens with Randall driving down an ice-covered road in the middle of a snowstorm. Suddenly, an animal darts out onto the road; forcing Randall to swerve in a frantic effort to avoid a collision — no such luck. Randall’s curiosity gets the best of him, and he gets out of his car to investigate. What he thinks is just a dog, turns out to be a wolf — a live wolf, which sinks its jaws into Randall’s hand. The next morning, Randall re turns to his office with a wound ed hand and a soon-to-=be bruised ego. Rumors are flying around the office that Randall is about to lose his job to his sup posed friend Stuart (James Spad er), who just happens to major in the fine art of back-stabbing. At a party given the same evening by Raymond Alden, the company’s owner, Randall’s fate is sealed. Alden fires Randall and names Stuart as his replacement. Need less to say, Randall is a tad-bit disappointed and wants nothing more than revenge. Soon after he is fired, Randall meets Alden’s mysterious daugh ter Laura (Pfeiffer), who sympa thizes with his sudden loss in sta tus. As the film progresses, Ran dall is transformed into a wolf. By day, he is an energetic man with perfect senses. By night, he is a vicious beast, murdering in nocent victims. So how does Randall use his sudden case of gross schizophre nia to his advantage? Takes wild guess. Unfortunately, the weakest part of the film is the most impor tant part — the plot. It is so obvi ous you’ll feel like you wrote the script yourself. Although the typical horror film’s main goal is to scare its au dience, what may be stuck under neath the theater seats should prove more frightening than the film itself. No one can play a bad guy like Nicholson. Remnants of his sin ister grin in “The Shining” are brought back to the screen, mak ing for a deliciously evil Randall. Pfeiffer creates a very believ able Laura who specializes in horrified facial expressions and blood-curdling screams. Despite its weak and pre dictable plot, this only slightly scary horror film teaches two valuable lessons - strong perfor mances by actors and actresses don’t necessarily make the film and - above all else - never, nev er try “Wolf.” Memc For Rent For Rent .^OQDfc * y * Large 3 Bedroom/2 Bath * On Shuttle Bus Route Close To A & M Consolidated * Quiet Wooded Setting * Adjacent to Parks * Beginning at $850/Mo.

Fifty means she now lives for all her sisters who couldn’t make it and is blessed with a chance to show the world what she can really do. And LaBelle still has so much more to offer. There is no doubt with La Belle’s new single, “Right Kin- da Lover” from her album “Gems,” the vocalist can still belt out a song. Produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, “Right Kinda Lover” creates funky beats and lyrics that suit LaBelle’s energetic voice — “He’s the right kinda lover/ I’ll never need another/ Sure ‘nuff he’s got the stuff/ He’s the right kinda lover for me.” Of course, LaBelle decides to create some of her own lyrics while singing this song — “He’s the right height/ the right build/ Goes everyday to work and pays all my bill^/Sure ‘nuff he’s got the stuff.” “Right Kin da Lover” showcases LaBelle’s immense, versatile musical tal ent. But, how can you go wrong with the same producers who produced Janet Jackson’s al bums? Unfortunately, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis produced the only gem on “Gems” — this single. Many of the same producers and writers from her previous Grammy-winning album, “Burnin,” contributed to “Gems.” The result is a lack Counting Crows power a brooding message By Jennifer Gressett The Battalion Counting Crows “August and Everything After” Alternative Concert and music review Houston’s Music Hall I belong anywhere but in be tween. - "Rain King” SPECIAL CONCERT!

The words slipped from Counting Crow singer Adam Duritz and into a sold-out crowd of Houston Rockets fans Sunday night. David Letterman says they’re “one of the best new bands around.” “Rolling Stone” has declared them “the biggest new band in America.” And after a performance in Houston’s Music Hall, the evi dence became clear. It was moody. It was per sonal. It was the band’s debut compact disc “August and Everything After” in its rawest form. An emotionally drunk Du ritz stumbled back and forth, dread-locks swaying, in the opening song “Rain King” as he described “someone” fed up with the cruelties of life. Pour ing his heart into the crowd, the singer seemed to relive a past experience. After listening to the rest of the concert, it seemed appar ent personal experience could have been the only motive for his lyrics. The “someone” in the 11 songs on the CD has had his share of ups and downs in life. He knows how a relationship begins. He knows how it ends. But he’s not so sure he wants to play the game again. In “Anna Begins,” he is re sisting the first phases of love, in “Round Here,” he is re belling against society’s rules, and in “Sullivan Street,” he is coping with the end of a rela tionship. And by the sound of the Counting Crows’ performance, it looks like fans can expect more of the same from the band. The sneak preview of “Marjorie” and “Goodnight Elizabeth” could be the begin nings of their second CD. Wrapping up an extended version of the radio-worn “Mr. Jones,” a teen jumped onto the stage, eager for a possible high-five from Duritz. Duritz's response: “Get the —- off the stage.” Point taken. When the band sings about their longing to be “big, big stars,” it shouldn’t be taken literally. Performing is an outlet for expression. Pearl Jam may enjoy “stage diving’ and “crowd walking,” but don’t expect it from a Counting Crows concert. They have a moodiness all their own, sometimes taking them into lyrics of songs you never heard on their CD. Maybe when Duritz kicked the teen off the stage, he should have added, “and don’t sing along.” H e wi He shoi Vhen my £ vould thro [’o this da) ememberi nisbehave )ne Chrisi louston tc nidnight. inmarried n my ever Erwin F fexas, and ind New dcMurry < ■aimed his dethodist irdained, 1 ■hurches s ind Christ larkest da iecond La Jniversity vorking ai iew York ind his ca; When I Jncle Erw surprised, md been t lisease.” I vrote him nuch I lo\ ■/anted hi: irwin can ^oteet Sor mswer an inderstan That w mmosexu bought o luster and, at times, even bor ing album. Walter “Bunny" Sigler and Eugene “Lamb- chomps” Curry, who wrote the mega-hit “Somebody Loves You Baby” for the “Burnin” album, couldn’t keep up with LaBelle in “Gems.” LaBelle’s voice loses that signature spunk and fire so many have come to love. The key to any great LaBelle song is the vocal arrangement. She directs the singers with her voice as a choir director leads the choir. The only dif ference is with “Gems,” the choir stayed home. “Gems” should have been called “Gem.” The single “Right Kinda Lover” is the only real jewel on the album. La Belle fans — save some money and go buy the single. G( “Some pe< with an o I rea< Stavenh; tianity j Message
