Entertainment f°“ Halton Hills-This. Week; Saturday »September 18, 1993 - Rage-19 © agian, It’s back to school time — By Patrick Freestone _ _ It’s that time of year. Return for a couple of hours to those studious years you spent doodling at your desk and learning about life from your teachers and other crazy adults. Yes, indeed, schools tor To Sir With Love (1967) Sidney Poitier plays an unorthodox teacher in an East London slum. His class may not be made up of the tough- “est kids but they are certainly the most sentimental. When lessons in history and geography go nowhere, Poitier replaces them with lessons in life. His victories are small and sweet so get the Kleenex ready. The Breakfast Club 198: Personally, I’m not a big fan of John Hughes but he - gets straight A’s for this effort. A princess, a jock and delinquent, a brain, and a bas- ket case spend a weekend in detention. What happens is a therapy session where they bond together under one ban- ner, “My Parents don’t under- stand me. My Bodyguard (1980) This is the movie to watch before starting at a new school. Clifford .(Chris Makepeace) is the new boy in school. The school bully, Moody, (Matt Dillon) demands a dollar a day pro- joney from. Clifford. Instead of paying, Clifford enlists thug, Lindeman, (Adam Baldwin) as his body- ard. guard. ‘The finale isn’t surprising - no-one is exactly as they appear - Lindeman not as mean, Moody not as tough and Clifford not as helpless. Funny, uplifting and pleas- antly unassuming. Carrie (1976) Carrie White (Sissy Spacek) is climsy and with- drawn. Therefore, she’s ridiculed at school. At home, her mother thumps the Bible. So what’s a: girl to do - kill her mother, classmates, teach- ers and principal? Spacek and Director, Brian DePalma are perfect. Best translation of a Stephen King ngvel to screen.

That is until she loses the third grade penman- ship medal to a classmate. When the classmate drowns, we learn there’s another side to Rhoda. This film is not the traditional gory horror movie, but rather focuses on Mrs. Penmark as she discovers the true nature.of her daughter. Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1985) Entertaining look at Southern California high school kids who hang out at the mall and think mostly of sex. Funny, entertaining and so believable, it’s scary. Sean Penn’s turn as stoned surfer, in video Jeff Spicoli, is legendary. Pump Up the Volume 1990) Another little gem that failed at the box office because it hits a little too close to home. Christian Slater is a new student and doesn’t fit in. He starts a pirate radio station to talk about his fears. A connection is forged with the student lis- teners who realize they are not so alone. The film has some frank and pertinent things to say about growing up that you don’t always find in youth- appeal films. Slater is terrific as is first-time director Allan, Fhe = New Ravine Dining Lounge invites you to sample our ald new menu...
