the HERALD Wednesday December 1991 Entertainment Movie Review Cape Fear strikes terror when least expected By DAWN WOOD Herald Special By the expressions and body language of the early audience leaving the theatre on Saturday night it was obvious that Martin Scorsese s remake of Cape Fear was going to be emo tionally troubling and it was Scorseses movie is a thriller that Victims on the screens and makes them in the audience Disturbing is a gross understatement of the movie true effect Cape Fear begins with Robert as a beastly psychopath released from prison venging to stalk and repay the defence lawyer Nick Nolte responsible for putting him away Niro is perfect for the role as it is a sinister part that he has done so many times and he ap pears to have it down to a fine art He is a little too convincing for my liking The cast is definitely first rate with Jessica as Nolte neurotic wife and with cameo ap pearances by Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum Joe Don Baker is a private detective ironically hired by to get rid of De Newcomer Juliette Lewis as Nolte and Lange 15yearold daughter is faultless as an pressionable girl who is com pletely seduced by despite the initial warning signs In addition to all the acting talent Scorsese had a million dollar budget to make the movie a success The photography build up of tensions and intense focal images are all used to heighten the suspense and are part of that Scorsese style we ve grown accustomed to The im is somewhat surreal and sublime There are some extremely though everything is extreme with Scorsese powerful scenes in this film Without giving away too many of the bells and whistles the scenes building up to the family movement from their home to a houseboat at Cape Fear are Scorsese in his element The mild anxiety from the open ing is magnified 20fold by the middle and unbearable at the end Interestingly there is a moral conflict introduced regarding the question of injustice It arises when we learned that in ding De 14 years previously Nolte did not present all of the evidence to give De Niro a fair trial It appears then that is not entirely without guilt or responsibility for all of the terror This twist adds substance to the plot and leads in Second City to visit again Arts Alive has booked The Se cond City Touring Company again just in time for Christmas gift giving The Second City is making its fifth appearance at the John Elliott Theatre The previous four shows have sold out so get your tickets early Organizers Linda Parker and Maureen Walker have booked the show for January It is hard to get Second City for a Saturday evening since they are so popular often touring for mon at a time across Canada January can be a dull month socially after the Christmas whirlwind so Arts Alive is hoping to cheer us up The touring company players change from year to year as this is the training ground for new players before they get offered permanent positions in The Se cond City dinner theatre in Toronto The skits also change regularly so there is no danger of repetition if you saw them last year The Second City specializes in lampooning political situations and there is no lack of subject matter to make fun of in politics If you think you might need a laugh in January Arts Alive in vites you to purchase tickets at the Haiton Hills Library or Royal LePage 170 Guelph Street Tickets are each and seating is reserved VIDEO PLUS West of Georgetown COMING THIS WEEK JUST FOR YOUI City Slicker Born lo Ride Problem Child II This Gun For Hire The Bastard Unit I 877 BRINGS YOU LIVE ENTERTAINMENT EVERY THURS FRI SAT HOME OF CANADA S FINEST COUNTRY MUSIC SHOWS CALL Queen St E Brampton 4516000 NOW PLAYING CAPE FEAR WARNING Brutal Violence If NOW PLAYING AMERICAN TALE II Ewmnp it HrAMHv Sat Sun it PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS Evenings it p NOW PLAYING THE ADAMS F it 1 Sit I Sun pm ADMISSION Adults to some very stimulating not what anyone should consider to view this film don t character development entertaining Rightfully so it is plan to sleep peacefully for the The movie is very good though If you do take the op next few nights Trough STOP THE DUMP TODAY WRITE ABOUT THE DEPLORABLE ACTON LANDFILL PROPOSALS EFFECT ON YOUR WATER QUALITY NATURAL ENVIRONMENT NIAGARA ESCARPMENT PROPERTY VALUES ROADS TRAFFIC CHILDRENS FUTURE AIR QUALITY WRITE BEFORE DECEMBER TO Wort 15th Floor St Clair Ave Toronto IPS or Premier Bob Roe Rm 281 Main Bldg Queens Park Toronto M7A 1A5 POWER will deliver your letters Leave them for delivery at the Service Desk at these locations Osborne Decorating Knechtel Food Market Art Effects 348 St s Market Wastewlse 36 Armstrong Ave Preston Lucky Dollar Foodstuffs 92 Main St S WlllowLane Natural Foods Acton Georgetown Yarn Crafts Gtn PI STATE YOUR CONCERNS YOU CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE YOUR LETTER IS IMPORTANT POWER PROTECT OUR WATER ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES
