Page THE HERALD Wednesday March TOO House Party examines black lifestyles In Movie Theaters BOUSE PARTY Writerdirec tor Reginald musical come dy set largely Id a black middleclass is fresh and fun sociologi cally revealing and fingersnapping In many ways the urn is a black to a stodgy bourgeois black affair Meanwhile three musclebound goons played by members of the mu sical group Full Force keep turning up to harass anyone In sight and guess whos usually there Why Kid of course a scrawny fellow with a towering head of balr At Its most responsible the movie examines blackmacho attitudes Its Kid who gets the girl who carries a condom In his wallet and who has the approach to rap and platter- spinning Hes Mr Sensitivity com pared to the goons who chase him and compared to the two white cops who cruise the neighborhood looking for trouble Despite a few gay slurs and a crude jail scene In which Kid is sexually threatened by other prisoners this is KID Christopher left sneaks oat to attecd a party given by his buddy Play Christopher Martin right In Home Party version of an 80s teen comedy Its a little gross and very broad but it has a good spirit a poppretty look and some hot hiphop music and dancing As It centers on one night inthe life of Kid Christopher a teen who sneaks out of bis house to attend a party given by His buddy Play Chris topher Martin the movie provides a crash course in black lifestyles from life in the overcrowded projects a lively likable movie that may be eyeopening to many white viewers GRADE JOE VERSUS THE VOLCANO PG Moonstruck scriptwriter John Patrick Shanley makes bis directorial debut with this romantic comedy fa ble Its about a hypochondriacal fac tory worker the evertalented Tom Hanks who quits his depressing job and Is immediately offered another decidedly offbeat Job by an eccentric millionaire Lloyd Bridges If Hanks will go to an Island in the South Pacif ic and jump Into a volcano as a human sacrifice the natives will be ap peased and the millionaire will re ceive the mineral rights he seeks Since Hanks thinks he is dying any way the offer has a devilmaycare appeal This nonsensical plot givesShanley a chance to address a heavy subject In his words What am I doing on this planet and what do I do with my limit ed time here Like John Boormans recent Where the Heart Is this film tries to both make an apocalyptic statement and be entertaining Like Where the Heart Is it doesnt come off The movie Is a hodgepodge Meg Ryan turns up in three roles two of which allow her to do some cute char acter work There are guest bits by people like Ossle Davis- and Amanda and sequences set to musi cal numbers Produced by Steven Spielbergs Amblin Entertainment the movie is also heavy on visual effects with a climax that seems lifted from an Indi ana Jones movie Stanleys dialogue can be very clever or It can be em barrassingly explicit Do you believe in God asks Hanks to which one of the Megs replies I believe in myself Ironically the best parts of the movie are the simplest such as the opening scenes of Hanks at his job Working at a rectal probe factory Hanks Is surrounded by buzzing lights and passive employees Hes also plagued by little infelicities like instant dairy creamer failing to dissolve In the morning coffee Un fortunately the movie like the dairy creamer is lumpy and Indigestible GRADE Film grading
