THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST Some movies are fun to see but they have no staying power Far more peculiar is the movie that doesnt FTLMETER quite come together while youre watching it but that grows in the memory afterward Lawrence Body Heat Kasdans adaptation of the critically acclaimed Anne Tyler novel is such a muted moving movie Tylers gift in her fiction hei really is for sustaining a mood of quirky pathos Her charac ters inhabit a special universe that of ten overlaps our own On the screen this literary world inevitably comes across a bit studied and artificial The basic subject of Accidental Tourist a travel writer emotion al withdrawal after his son is dered turns out to be a tough one tc fully dramatize too What happens is that the writers drab inertia some times becomes the movies as well And yet thinking back on this film you may find yourself haunted William Hurt plays the depressed protagonist whose travel books are designed for people who want to go abroad without relinquishing any of the comforts of home Its quickly ap parent that the writer has become just such a tourist in his own life Hurts performance In the role is highly unusual short on surface ap peal but graced by Integrity and orig inality And in the very last shot of the picture Hurt seals everything with a smile bis only smile in the whole movie As the writers estranged wife Kathleen Turner seems too glamor ous but her role is small and Turners slightly haughty actressy manner has its own fascination Davis fares better as the lifeembracing oddball whom Hurt hires as a dog trainer but who hangs around to charm and train him Some of the best moments in the whole movie belong to Amy Wright who plays Hurts and who incarnates Anne Tyler s ec centricities with an ease that some of the other

about everything and everyone Directed by Oliver Stone Wall Street Platoon the movie is a lit tie heavyhanded a typical Stone ten trying too hard to overcome the inherent static stagey qualities of

With the month of February here and Valentines Day next week I ve had a little time to think about hearts flowers and love Our homes certainly are the main source of love with our hearts sending out messages on a daily basis through our kids and how we live about love It takes no time at all for a real estate agent to walk through a home and get a feeling of what kind of atmosphere runs through that house So much can be felt by the decor the little touches the pictures on the walls sometimes even the reading material left around We become very tuned into homes in minutes in this job Our homes speak volumes about our lives even though there is not a diary in sight This weekend if your home is on the market you might consider making a little effort to emphasize the love your home in keeping with the theme of the month February How about a couple of balloons in red and white placed in strategic places in the house Perhaps a red tablecloth with Valentine paper napkins on the table maybe some heart shaped cookies on the counter it s all pretty sim pie stuff but it can spell out love in a different way for prospective pur chasers inspecting your home Nothing sells a home better than a good feeling about what goes on inside the framework I know it takes a lit tie effort maybe a trip to the specialty store probably about a half hour of your time to give your home a little extra lift and a smile but it might create a sale and that has got to be worth the effort Speaking from one who knows IX Actually Im considering painting hearts on our shutters for this weekend and rolling out a red carpet on the driveway on our own home Just kidding folks No it hasnt sold yet yes it has been a week but Im still holding onto my sanity by a thread ask my hubby If home is where the heart is I know there are lots of hearts out there looking for the right home this weekend and I hope it is yours well maybe I hope it is ours tool Have a little fun this weekend laugh and wear your heart on your sleeve as well as in your home Someone out there is going to love whats inside MODERN EQUIPMENT FOR MODERN MUSICIANS CHARVEL ROLAND LUDW1G ENSONIQ YAMAHA GUILD TAMA A1JESIS TAKAMINE
