Great plots and fasci nating characters that peppered the novel often get lost in the transition to celluloid. Thankfully, the film adapta tion of The General’s Daughter keeps the qualities that made the novel such a popular read. Travolta, in yet another per formance with all the depth of a kiddie pool, plays army investi gator Paul Brenner, who along with fellow investigator Sarah Sunhill (Stowe), is tapped to investigate the brutal murder of the young Captain Elizabeth Campbell, played by Leslie Steffanson. The General’s Daughter man ages to overcome Travolta's MIA acting to deliver a murder mys tery that does not give away the killer in the first five minutes. The film does suffer from trite ness, however, as clues are beat en over the audiences head.

Tarzan La Featuring the voices of Tony Goldwyn and Minnie Driver Playing at Hollywood 16 Edgar Rice Burroughs’ adven- fellow apes, the realityol ha ture Tarzan has been one of the most popular stories both on and off the silver screen. In fact, the story is so popular that it has been portrayed on film 47 differ ent times with varying degrees of success. This latest version, directed by Kevin Lima and Chris Buck, is by far the most spectacular of its kind. In fact, it could possibly be one of the best films Walt Disney Pictures has ever released. Following the death of his par ents, Tarzan (Goldwyn) is raised among the apes, but more importantly, by Kala (the voice of Glen Close), who assumes the role of his mother. It is through her love and the love of her fellow apes, one of whom includes Terk (voice of Rosie O’Donnell), that he grows to adulthood as an ape himself. Within his adventures, he encounters conflict among his past and, of course, the lac COLU Jane. .
