THE HERALD Wednesday October IM 29 -Entertainment- Movie Review GEORGETOWN CINEMAS 235 GUELPH STREET 8731999 Pacific Heights described as psychological thriller By DIAHANN N Herald Special Pacific Heights is a psychological thriller from direc tor John Schlesinger Madame Sousatzka Starring Gnf fith Matthew Modme and Michael Heights is unevenly paced abruptly directed and not as good as it should be However it has itt moments and Griffith alone makes it and Griffith play Drake and Patty a yuppie couple buying their first home in San Francisco Its a big Victorian fixer upper and after a lot of hard work most done by handy Patty the two apartments on the lower level are ready to rent A nice Japanese cou ple rents one while the seemingly loaded Carter Hayes moves into the other A landlords worst nightmare quickly evovles Hayes does not rent his deposit never arrives He moves in changes the locks and gets the police on his side The pro cess of eviction is a long and costly one in California as our couple soon discovers In the meantime Hayes spends all his time drilling and hammering and no one can get in to see what hes up to He plays a mean psychological game to unnerve Drake goading him into violent acta to land him in jail What is the point of Hayes ac tions Is he Just a nutcase a pathological liar a psychotic out to destroy Drake and Patty Or is this all part of a deliberate plan with a rational goal m mind Well it seems its a lot of both The plot should guarantee some scary moments but somehow it never delivers The movie only picks up in the last half hour when Patty takes charge and ap proaches the enemy in a cool and logical manner Its nice to have the woman be the brains and the brawn in a film and Griffith despite her soft looks and voice manages to be convincing in the role of the savior Griffith certainly steals the pic ture here Determined and level headed as Patty a pleasure to look at she makes the movie her own is innocuous as always as Drake Even when hes angrily pounding on Keaton he doesnt seem to really be there Modine is amiable enough but there never seems to be a person you can tually identify He is one of the mose faceless actors around Michael Keaton plays Hayes with a frightening intensity in his eyes insanity riding just below the surface Yet it is not a memorable performance perhaps because of the role and the way his screen time is used Other actors include Dorian Harewood as a friend Ro- Laurie as a lawyer and a quick cameo by Grif fiths mother as Florence Peters Keatons next prey Pacific Heights is a serviceable thriller but it is not going to be on anyones top ten list It might give landlords nightmares but it wont hit anyone else that hard The Tribe specializes in funk and punk music The name of the Georgetown based progressive funk band The Tribe reflects the bands togetherness and the different musical backgrounds each member brings to the band said Chris Burrell the band s bass player Its this variety of musical in fluences that allows the band to play what Chris sums up as a combination of ja funk and a lit tle punk Fresh from performing at the Rock Against Drugs Concert Sun day at the Georgetown Fairgrounds the band is scheduled to perform at the El Macombo the end of this month Calling the Toronto breakthrough a big thing Chris said the band is hop ing the show will lead to

scene in the area for a number of years said Chris Bur rell He stresses the band is out to have a good time Were not preachy he said But that doesnt mean the band doesnt take the music seriously
