“It Could Happen To You”
Starring Nicolas Cage, Bridget
Fonda, and Rosie Perez
Directed by Andrew Bergman
Rated PG-13
Playing at Cinema III, Schulman Six
Frank Capra would have loved
“It Could Happen To You.” If not,
he certainly couldn’t love many
other films released this summer.
The film, an urban fairy tale,
begins as New York cop Charley
(Nicolas Cage) picks up a lottery
ticket for his wife Muriel (Rosie
Perez.) Muriel is a hairdresser
whose beady eyes target any
thing to get ahead in life. Charley
just wants to stick to his job, live a
charitable life, and is happy to
hang out in his neighborhood
playing stickball with the kids on
his block.
Charlie stops at a coffee shop
with his partner and meets a wait
ress, (Bridget Fonda) who is sadly
convinced that her luck in life and
love has run out.
As in most anything that late
director Frank Capra crafted, hu
man saints are rewarded in their
direst hours of need, and
Bergman follows Capra’s lead.
Charlie finds himself short on a
tip to give the waitress and
promises to return tomorrow with
double the tip.
Or, if he wins the lottery, he
promises to split it with her.
Sure enough, Charlie wins, but
conflict develops as Muriel can’t
stand to share the money with
anyone. The screws tighten as
the “cop and waitress” build a rela
tionship that tabloid newspapers
recount daily.
The story, spun
around the two good
characters versus the
conniving rest of the
world, plays a lot like
Capra’s “It’s A Won
derful Life.”
Fresh, funny and
fraught with trial, the
film steps into 1994 as
a good change of pace
from the rest of the
movies conniving to
snooker five dollars
from movie patrons.

“Clear and Present Danger”
Starring Harrison Ford, Anne Archer, James Earl Jones,
Willem Dafoe and Donald Moffat
Directed by Phillip Noyce
Rated PG-13
Playing at Cinema III
If military intelligence is considered by some to be
an oxymoron, then these people should stay away
from “Clear and Present Danger.”
Then again, maybe this film could reaffirm them.
In a tale of deadly intrigue and deadlier politics,
Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford) seems to be the only one
with a clue in the U.S. intelligence community, fighting
for truth, justice while he fights against American ways.
And thus, the Ryan saga continues. The character
appears in the third of the series of movies
adapted from the Tom Clancy thrillers.
This time the intelligence officer is
ry <
For an above-average comedy
about a far-from-average 11-year-
old boy, pack up your favorite
mode of transportation and head
for “North.”
North (Elijah Wood) is every
parent’s dream of the perfect son
- every parent’s except his own.
Feeling unappreciated by his
career-obsesSed parents (Julia
Louis-Dreyfus and Jason Alexan
der), North seeks out a lawyer
(John Lovitz), declares himself a
“free agent” and embarks on a
quest around the world for the ulti
mate parental figures.
After considerable persuasion
by an evil-minded friend named
Winchell (Mathew McCurley),
North appears in court and is
awarded an all expense paid trip
to find new parents.
However, there is one stipula
tion to this dream vacation. North
must choose between his true
parents or the replacement sets
of parents by the end of the sum
mer, or North will be placed in an
orphanage.
Bruce Willis acts as narrator
and guardian angel of North; ap
pearing wherever he travels —
Hawaii’s tropical paradise,
Alaska’s permafrost playland
and the Orient’s regal dynasty.
The strongest actors in
“North” are the youngest of the
cast. Ten-year-old McCurley
transforms into a boy with the
mannerisms of a 40-year-old,
ambitious businessman. Wood,
a 13-year-old, portrays North in a
very humorous, mature manner.
This film challenges its audi
ence to think strongly about the
consequences of poor family
communication.
And children are reminded to
look beneath the scary demeanor
of the parent to the child within.
undercut by a vindictive Colombia military operation,
backed by a president with mannerisms suspicious)
like George Bush, dealing in a situation even
suspicious as it is akin to the Iran-Contra affair.
A formula is developing for this series; no mate;
how detached Ryan may be from events, his acu;;|)r
sense of “right and wrong” pulls him into a crisis, an;
he eventually takes matters into his own hands.
Ford makes the Film, as usual - but, with films sri
as the “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones” trilogies, “Pro
sumed Innocent” and “The Fugitive” to his credit,
usual means a taut, suspenseful nerve-fraying perfon
mance. And a steady, reliable tale of intrigue is wali
worth seeing.

“The Mask”
Starring Jim Carrey, Cameron Diaz,
and Peter Riegert
Directed by Charles Russell
Rated PG-13
Playing at Hollywood USA and
Schulman Six
Bending the bounds of phys
ical expression and special ef
fects, Jim Carrey is only part of
why “The Mask” is a superla
tive film.
Scripted and directed to
appeal to anyone’s MTV atten
tion span, this film simply
brings out the best in Carrey’s
insipidly cheesy clowning.
As a bank accountant with a
severe case of loseritis, Carrey
plays Stanley Ipkiss, who be
comes empowered with god
like abilities from an ancient
Norse mask.
So what does Ipkiss do with
all this power? Anything he
ever wanted to do.
He becomes Jack Nicholson's “
wearing canary yellow instead of |
becomes Michael Keeton’s "Beetlejuic8,
dancing to the rumba instead of the calp
so; becomes Steve Martin’s “The Jerk’
acting as infantile as possible, while kee
ing his pants on.
Fame, fortune and women come eas
to Ipkiss in his guise as The Mask, but*
he really craves is the love of a clubsinjei
Tina Carlyle (Cameron Diaz.) To this*
sire, trouble will befall and befuddle h
The Mask becomes crossed up
vengeful gangster and a police lieutem
named Kellaway, (Peter Riegert - of ‘Aii
mal House” fame) who is suspicious of)
kiss at first glance.
Those skeptical of Carrey’s overwro®
goofiness should get over it and see
film. Director Charles Russell backs Cara
up with an impressive ensemble of scree
play, direction, comedic accompanimr
and special effects.
And Carrey's performance is almos
overpowered by Milo, Ipkiss’ trusty tero
There were genuine moments of uproar
the theater by the routine of Ipkiss and
spastic dog.
Hilarity wears no mask in this film.
