The General's Daughter
Starring John Travolta and Madeline Stowe
Playing at Hollywood 16
Hollywood is full of half-
baked movies based on best-sell

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.

Jane (Driver) from a pack of baboons.
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. . Harece
