Rating: ak POISON IVY (R, 92 M., 1992) suffers from its casting. Drew Barrymore plays an evil adolescent who worms her way into a family, intent on seducing dad (Tom Skerritt), replacing mom (Cheryl Ladd) and framing the daughter (Sara Gilbert). But Barrymore isn’t convincing as a bad girl, and so the story seems contrived. Lots of would-be Hitchcock touches, but Hitch always made sure you could believe the villain. Rating: ** 1/2 A MIDNIGHT CLEAR (8, 107 m., 1992) is a new film by Jim Jarmusch, a poet of the night, who tells five stories in five cities, all of them taking place during a taxi Tide. From Winona Ryder’s chain- smoking L.A. cabbie who doesn’t want to be a movie star, through strange encounters in New York, Paris, Rome and Helsinki, the film captures the lonely, moody world of the early morning hours, when people are unbuttoned and vulnera- ble, and ready to speak about what’s really on their minds. Rating: *90% UNIVERSAL SOLDIER (R, 98 M., 1992) begins in Vietnam, where Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lungren become blood enemies. After they kill each other, their bodies are frozen, to be reactivated in a government experiment 25 years later. Now they are deadly UniSols — android combat units. But then combat flashbacks reawaken their old hatred, and TV reporter Ally Walker is caught in the middle. She gives a terrific per- formance; the rest of the movie is MeL Secpes often laughable.
