In his newest movie Kazaam,
Shaquille O’Neal proves his
$120 million salary is for his tal
ent in the NBA, not Hollywood.
And, be fore
warned, he does have
several rap numbers
in the film.
O’Neal plays Kaza
am, a 3,000-year-old
genie who is called
upon by the young
Max Conner (Francis
Capra) when Max acci
dentally knocks over
the boom box Kazaam
was trapped in.
Max is struggling to find sta
bility. His mother remarries a
man Max does not like. Max fi
nally meets his biological father
at age 12. His father is a back-
alley music pirater involved with
an unfriendly crowd. And the
school bullies don’t give him a
moment’s rest.
But with the arrival of the
bard in the bottle, the rapping
Kazaam, Max finds a path to
salvation. Kazaam grants Max
three wishes (no, really?), but
Max wants to savor those wish
es, because Kazaam cannot
leave until he uses all three.
Max tries to help his father
out of his deadly situation, but
he finds himself caught in the
same situation. Max’s own
greediness stands in his his
way. Plus, Kazaam also begins
to become materialistic after he
is discovered as a major rap tal
ent (remember that this is
fairy tale).
It is hardly a smirk-indt
ing drudge through a contm
plot that makes the audier.

Kazaam (Shaquille O'Neal) is a
rapping genie
lights instead.
The only enjoyable part
this movie-going experience;:
not even in the film itself, it !
the kids in the theater carryiis
on about why the musical Ski
does not deserve $120 millic
dollars in the NBA.
“He’s not even half as goodtj
Hakeem,” one boy said. “Hecai
even make free throws. All!
ever does is dunk.”
And do not expect to leave !
Shaq movie without the
evitable basketball-dunkingij
lusion. Since the Lakers’ov]
Shaq Attack plays the omnipf
tent rhyme master of the hot:
(well, boom box), one would a
pect the writers to include!
scene where Kazaam woulc
ironically, have difficulty pla;
ing basketball.
But, alas, the writers provie
too clever a script to allow sue
a predictable joke. They, in fan
stun the audience with a nit
ning twist of wit as the All-Pn
Genie rolls a bad guy into aba
and soars over the heads ofth;
others to slam dunk him intoil
garbage chute. Boom-shakalaka ’
Kazaam is by no means:
career-ending injury fo!
O’Neal’s life in the movies, bii:)
it certainly is no gold medal
winner either.
Shaq’s career as an icon, a:
age 24, is just beginning. Ther
are certainly more great gam?'
to come and definitely some be!
ter movies.

July 1996
Dear Scott White Health Plan Member:
To provide personalized, comprehensive, high quality health care at a
reasonable cost is the mission of the Scott & White Health Plan. In order
for us to realize our mission in Bryan/College Station, it has become
necessary for the Scott & White Health Plan to re-evaluate its relationship
with both Brazos County hospitals. Effective September 1, 1996, the St.
Joseph Regional Health Center in Bryan will be the exclusive provider of
inpatient health care services for our membership in Bryan/College
Station. The Health Plan has made this decision only after a great deal of
thought and analysis.
We hope you will appreciate our desire to stay on course with our mission
which is to provide you and your family with personalized,
comprehensive, high quality health care at a reasonable cost. We believe
our partnership with the St. Joseph Regional Health Center helps us
accomnlish this If you have any further questions or comments, please
call our Bryan/College Station Health Plan Office at 409-268-7947 or 1-
800-791-8777.
Sincerely,
John W. Roberts, M.D.
