notice the pink Christmas tree she is always a pleasure to watch Lloyd is good as Cookie although she doesnt display the verve that astonished audiences in her starr ing debut Wish You Were Here Brenda Vaccaro Jerry Lewis and Lionel Slander all offer good sup porting performances Cookie is a happy comedy a nice little film about love and the mafia it is not a great movie but certainly offers many pleasures TREMORS Yes I did review this when it came out in the theatres but Tremors is one of the very very few movies I actually wanted to see again This wonderful little horrorcomedy is still good on the small screen although the monsters are reduced and the splatter effects are not quite as splashy and gratifying In case you missed the first review Tremors is about two han dy men in Perfection Nevada who discover that something quite hor rible is going on in their little cor ner of paradise Something is kill ing people and as the tiny popula tion grows smaller they are the unlikely heroes who have to battle and outwit the monsters Tremors is a takeoff of the classic horror only it adds humor to the terror giving us a chance to laugh and be scared witless in the same moment One of the best things about these creatures aside from the fact they are supposed to stink to high heaven is their cleverness the townspeople find their options be ing reduced at every turn by these smart underground worms Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward are great as the reluctant heroes Finn Carter is the lovely seismologist Michael Gross and are the gungho survivalists Everyone in the cast plays it just right and this movie remains one of my favorites for All videos provided through the courtesy of Country Videos PIZZA BUY ONE GET ONE FREE ON ANY SIZE PIZZA FREE DELIVERY After Guelph St
