turaofthecentury story of a father Max von and son who emi grate from Sweden to Denmark at tempts to show the effect of lifes hardships on the character of a young fresh immigrant boy Theres also the theme of prejudice the Danes anti- Swedish feelings at the time In Movie Theaters WINTER PEOPLE PG13 Back woods North Carolina during the De pression is purportedly the setting for this melodramatic romance But youll quickly recognize the place as Hollywood Rural that realm where people quote the Bible whoop and holler and talk funny Kelly plays an unwed mother who refuses to reveal the identity of her babys father and Kurt Russell is a widowed clockmaker who falls in love with her Soon enough we find out Kellys secret- She was im pregnated by a real cur of a guy Jef frey Meek and she cant admit it be cause hes one of the Campbells a rival clan that has always had a bitter rivalry with family the Wrights The movie can quickly give you the giggles In one unintentionally funny scene which is also offensively vio lent the father of Kellys baby storms into her cabin where he pro ceeds to pour booze down his throat and mistreat everyone in sight The way Jeffrey Meek plays this fellow hes a loud and glowering brute of un known precedent Ill slit tongue so its larked like a snakes he snarls and then he beats up McGillis and the clockmaker while handling bis baby the way you wouldnt even treat a stuffed animal The actors dont stand a chance Yet even giving her the benefit of the doubt McGillis is pretty dreadful This actress who seemed so fresh and promising in Witness and Reuben Reuben has become a bore an un appetizing blend of and butch Russell gets the movies biggest laugh again unintentionally when after fighting man bear and bad weather and facing a murder charge he says Its been the best part of life to be here Mark this as an early candidate for worst of the year honors alongside the equally lousy Slaves of New York and The GRADE THE CONQUEROR not rated This largescale oldfashioned nature epic from Danish director BUle August transcribes Martin An dersen classic novel to the screen and it was awarded this years New Home Video DEAD RINGERS Media Home Video This psychological thriller was directed by David Crooenberg The Fly and it has the horrific over tones we expect from him Based on the book Twins the pic ture recounts the actual case of iden ticaltwin gynecologists both played by Jeremy Irons who use their occu pational privilege to prey on women patients Often impersonating each other the brothers one a timid scholar the other a ladies man eventually succumb to drug problems and merge personalities with disas trous results The movie must have appealed to Cronenberg as a black comic treat ment of the old saw about the lasclvl- of male gynecologists Its suggestive with moments of creepy wit But its also very grisly and the second half suffers GRADE Film grading excellent good fair poor 11H NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN by NEA Inc By Herald Special is not going to win any awards for screenplay direction or originality But and I know I overuse this phrase perhaps so meone could suggest something more colorful I have seen worse In my view a soso movie with a dog is a lot better than one without a dog And Jerry Lee The Killer is an impressive actor James plays Mike a lunatic cop In the San Diego narcotics division He breaks all the rules wont co operate with his supervisor hates partners and destroys a zillion cars a week Now theres a novel movie policeman So when he needs help he heads for the K9 corps and recruits Jerry Lee Ac tually Jerry Lee is forced on him Naturally its not an immediately happy pairing Of course we knew that would be the case This movie is nothing if not predictable The two pursue a coldblooded killer and narcotics dealer Lyman Kevin who also happens to move in the highest social circles He loves to hate and orders a thousand hits on him Okay I may be exag gerating these numbers a little Dumb luck and Jerry Lee keep alive Lyman eventually kidnaps girlfriend Tracy Mel Harris and Jerry Lee and must rescue her Despite a gunshot wound and a close call the movie ends happily ever after What a surprise COLLIE WRIGHT Kelly keeps the Identity of her sons Dasbiell Coleman father a secret from the child in Winter People The movie is an imagining of a by gone world It allows us to get lost in the Danish past of stormtossed ships and rough seas grueling farm work and stoic peasants Some people are deeply moved by the films earthy beauty and attitudes Certainly it helps that Max von Sy gives one of his fines perfor mances in a long career of fine per formances as Pelles father a crusty limited man who realizes that hes a weakling and a failure Some of us though find the movie a little dim the characters remote Theres something inherently pro grammatic and melodramatic about the material And the boy isnt enough of a character Hes acted upon and shaped more than being an active figure The movie lacks surg ing poetry and epic contours But it still stands out from most current films GRADE Do your part for the environment Always properly dispose of your waste paper dont litter And remind your friends that being a just isnt smart IS COMING YOUR WAY RIVIERA CENTRE 530 Box 1416 UP WE ARE DEDICATED TO I SERVICE We have asked our carriers to complete their deliveries as

James Mel Harris never really fits but Kevin is good enough The real star is Jerry Lee Lewis a Gorgeous German Shepherd who could certainly teach my Airedale a trick or twenty Its difficult to say anything in sightful about K9 It is not a memorable movie and 1 went in expecting very little It could have been better in many ways especially if they had employed a more intelligent satire of cop movies But I laughed despite myself and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the dog In case you hadnt figured that out If you hate dogs this film will not nave any redeeming features But hey I have seen much worse AFTER FIVE THIN6ST0D0 PLACES TO GO FOR YOUR LISTENING AND DANCINQ PLEASURE 8773388 GEORGETOWN LIMO SERVICE ELEGANT CARS FOR ELEGANT PEOPLE AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE Owned by Served with Menu
