Does that make this movie a bad one? Hardly. Craven and Meryl Streep combine to make one of the best feel-good movies of the year. After the end of a difficult mar riage, Roberta Guaspari (Streep) finds she has no direction in her life and no way of supporting her two sons. An old high school friend suggests she apply for a po sition at an East Harlem grade school to teach violin. Following an audition by her sons. Principal Janet Williams (Bassett) hires Roberta as a substitute, and there in lies the gist of the movie. Based on a true story, this movie follows Roberta through her struggles as she raises a family on her own, tries to teach young chil dren to play violin and finding someone she can love. Horror master Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream) breaks out of the genre with this wonderfully directed drama. Tltrn- ing an uplifting and inspirational true story into a touching movie that reaffirms faith in the strength of human spirit, Craven proves he does not need knives and gore to make an entertaining movie. Meryl Streep delivers a flawless, Oscar-caliber performance as the tough but caring teacher and mother. It is pure pleasure to watch Streep, who seems inca pable of delivering a bad perfor mance, at the top of her game as she takes the audience through her entire range of emotions. Streep is supported by an outstanding cast that includes Bassett, Gloria Este- fan, and Aidan Quinn. Music of the Heart is a movie from the heart. Honestand true, this movie is the sort that leaves a feeling of hope and happiness long after the credits have rolled. Sure to catch a little Oscar buzz, this movie is definitely worth watching for people of all ages. (Grade: B + ) Matt McCormick Bats Starring Lou Diamond Phillips and Leon l5i reeled by Louis Morneau Just in time for Halloween. Bats is flying into theaters around the country. Vet another in the long and not-so-distinguished line of movies about science experi ments gone awry, this movie tells the story of genetically altered bats with a taste for human flesh, intelligence and desire to take over the world. Why is it that the scientist in movies like this are almost always nuttier than a Payday candybar? Why don't they turn creepy ani mals into warm fuzzy house pets instead of giving them all the qual ities needed to replace humans as the top of the food chain? When the new and improved bats begin attacking a small Texas town, it is Kimsey (Phillips),batspecii Dr. Sheila Casper (DinaMm] and her assistant (Leon) to stop thembeloreiit! spread.
