Looking like a cross between an avocado and a dragon, this fire belching behemoth has stomped countless Japanese cities. The big G has starred in over 20 films, including a "new and improved" version playing in theaters now. One might ask how the origi nal Godzilla could be improved. After all, no military force has been able to stop it. Aliens have failed to beat it, as well as just about every overgrown insect, ape and dinosaur. It seems it would be hard to improve upon such success. Leave it to Hollywood to try anyway. In this summers Godzilla, there, is no more thun der-thighed reptile the public has come to love. Instead, this Neo- Godzilla looks more like the her- petological equivalent of a heroin- chic model. The new Godzilla also suffers from some sort of gender confu sion. This would explain why he/she spends most or the movie running from the military instead of exterminating it. Maybe this Godzilla is looking for a public restroom, but is unsure of which one to use. The new Godzilla is as fertile as one of those welfare mothers Newt Gingrich is always com plaining about, producing a cou ple hundred brood. But one might ask Steven Spielberg for a blood test — the baby 'zillas look a little bit like those velociraptors from Jurassic Park. If Godzilla is preg- nant, maybe they should try to placate it with peanut butter and pickles. The truth is if any Godzilla deserves to bake the Big Apple, it should be the classic Godzilla. The cranky hermaphrodite that is Neo-Godzilla would be more at home on "The Jerry Springer Show" than wrecking a major city. (Possible Springer episode title: "Your Lizard is a Lady") Godzilla is known as the king of all monsters, not the queen. There are already plenty of those roaming the streets of New York. Gone is Godzilla's feared atomic breath. It has been replaced by some bad breath that can ignited like a noxious fart. There are two things synonymous with Godzilla. One is being a big, bipedal lizard with plates on its back. The other is radioactive fire coming out of its gullet. If some one is going to create a Godzilla without those two traits, they might as well make a chimp chewing gum, because it will not be the king of all monsters. The great Godzilla isn't a mutated dinosaur anymore — it is an irradiated iguana. A conse quence of such an origin could be the nation's children running out to pet stores. America's youth would purchase baby iguanas for microwave use, in attempt to cre ate their own Godzilla. No one / ever had to worry about this g roblem with the old Godzilla, ecause one, where would one find a dinosaur? And second, how would it fit in a microwave? Special effects can be g reat, but the guy in rub er suit approach seemed a hell of a lot more fun than today's $120 million screen saver. There was always great enj ment in watching an actor in an elaborate ^ Halloween costume destroy ing toy cities, wnile dubbed per- V formers mouthed words of terror heard by the audience five min utes after being spoken. It is a common human dream to don heavy rubber and ter rorize people. People live vic ariously through the old Godzilla movies. After all, the only people who can make a career out of this are professional domina- j trixes and the guy in the ' A Godzilla suit. ■ The new Godzilla is /fl Godzilla in name only. Comparing the old and ■ new is like comparing ^ Classic Coke to New Coke. 1 New Coke was an unfortu- ' nate marketing blip — heavi ly promoted, nut lacking the soul of the original. Hopefully, like Classic Coke, Classic Godzilla will reign supreme once again. ^ Travis Irby is a senior journalism major * n | -Dili i ' CL ' '■ Ig lar I ( 1 itO I i 10 ■ I ep' ; d.l ATHLETES FOOT STUDY Patient volunteers needed for research study of new investigational medicine.

Call for information: J&S Studies Movie Wrap-Up Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Starring Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro Directed by Terry Gilliam Rated R Playing at Post Oak Cinema The movie adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's novel could also be titled "Lifestyles of the Stoned and Psychotic." Tear and Loathing follows the adventures of the drugged up duo of Raoul Duke and his attorney Dr. Gonzo through the City of Sin, Las Vegas. Sin they do, as the pair consume every drug known to man and then some. They trip in and out of the city's hotels and casinos, encountering dwarves, lizards and cops. The film is one long series of drugged induced hallucinations, appealing both visually and comedically. The film is not for everyone with its heavy drug use, but those who enjoy satire of drug culture will dig it. Verdict: C+ Deep Impact Starring Tea Leoni, Morgan Freeman and Robert Duvall Directed by Mimi Leder Rated PG-13 Playing at Hollywood 16 and Schulman 6 The first of the summer's space-objects-hitting-Earth movies. Deep Impact offers more drama than action, with satisfying results. The Earth is in the path of a world destroying comet and everyone must figure out how to survive. Solid performances compliment the film's nice effects.

Meyer Rated R Playing at Hollywood 16 Woo (Jada Pinkett) is one heck of a woman. The kind of wo that turns men into mush and always gets her way. Tommy Davii plays her blind date, a straight arrow type, who doesn't knowi ne is getting in to. This basis for the blind date disaster movie Ht The movie suffers from a bad case of cliche-itis, by not breal any new ground with a familiar concept. Pinkett is charming,bn her cuteness can't save this dull film. Verdict: C- Bulworth Starring Warren Beatty and Halle Berry Directed by Warren Beatty Rated R Playing at Post Oak Cinema An ambitious poke at politics, Bulworth follows the exploits down trodden U.S. senator trying to kill himself. In the midstofa eling California primary Senator Jay Bulworth takes out a $10 mil life insurance policy and then hire someone to kill him. All of sudd Bulworth starts speaking the truth about American politics becomes wildly popular. The movie is funny and strange, but maybe mostly latter to those of a more conservative political nature.
