Page 20 — Halton Hills This Week, Saturday, April 10, 1993 Entertainment Groundhog Day a Murray vehicle chortles. There are, pr itis not | By Lawson Oates and Dawn You may recall a fable from your childhood in which a self-centered and conceited man is placed in a cell with a songbird in a cage. The man pays no attention to the bird and its health weakens. As the bird sings less and less, the only win- dow to the cell begins to close and block out the sunlight. Finally, as the window is all but closed, the man begins to feed and water the bird. As its health and singing returns, the window begins to open again and allow in daylight. Groundhog Day, starring Bill Murray, roughly follows this old fable. Previews today just about give away the entire plot line, but always leave a twist or two to be discovered. This is the case, thank- fully, with Groundhog Day. Directed by fellow Ghostbuster Harold Ramis, Groundhog Day attempts to put Bill Murray into his best positioning as a comic.

The first twist begins when the film crew from Pittsburgh can’t get back home due to a snowstorm and must return to Punxsatawney. ‘When Murray gets up the next day it is again Groundhog Day. This oes on and on as he first expresses disbelief, then rejection, anger, opportunistic acceptance, and then...well, remember the fable. P.S. Last week’s review stated the Crying Game is a British pro- duction. It should be noted that Neil Jordan (writer and director) is an Irishman from Dublin. The Crying Game was successful in winning this year’s Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
