"The Goonies" is aM that and much more, in fact, almost everything a 12-year-old dreams about is in this movie. "The Goonies" (written by Chris Columbus, but based on a story by Steven Spielberg) is "Raiders of the Lost Ark" for the preteen set. is that so terrible? That depends on your perspective. "Goonies" is definitely kid stuff -- a comic-book melange of thrills and chills, with more than enough humor thrown in to insure that none of it is tak­ en seriously. Seriously, howev­ er. has nothing to do with corny, and several of the scenes in this film are so bla­ tantly corn ball that one wond­ ers how even an 8-year-old can watch some of it without cringing.

Even the ogre (played with gusto by pro footbdTs John Matuszak) looks like a cross between Yoda and the Se­ ptum Man Oonner tries to put .some new wrinkles on old twists in the film. Some work, some don't. The dory concerns a motley group d young boys and two girls, and Oonner employs' the method d over­ lapping dialogue that was used so. effectivdy by Howard Hawks in "His Girl Friday." But not all of the young performers have Rosalind Russell's and Cary Grant's elocution, so doz­ ens of lines are lost in the frenetic pacing. But that won't present much of a problem to the kids in the audience. The visuals will keep them occupied, and if they miss a line or two. they'll prob­ ably catch it the next time around. Or 'the next. Or the next. Or the next. Get the picture? Buy stock in Warner Brothers. The dip builds in intensi­ ty, going from long sweep­ ing pans of the band on mountain cliffs, to doee- ups of the instruments dur­ ing the instrumental break and a climax that includes a studio full of extras. By the end of the song, you may want to shout along yourself. Why not? Stylistically consistent? The Power Station's video version of the old T. Bex classic "Bang a Gong (Get It On)" is shot in the .same style as its first dip, "Some Like It Rot" The band's use of high-contrast shots in both videos could be praised for stylistic con­ sistency or condemned for unimaginative reliance on one gimmick, depending on your viewpoint. This clip happens to work for me, but it may nrt work for everyone. Letting go In Animation's second video, "Let Him Go," the song lyric, which is actual­ ly abmit letting your lover go, is used to make a wider statement -- and suggest that mr.thwU ~latgor,ot., the pressures of society. Stock symbols, like a running horse and a soar­ ing bird, are used to denote freedom, and a grinding wheel and men in business suits are used to- signify work and conformity. The clip ends with the band happily playing in a studio, which brings up an interesting question: Who are they to tell us that our work is dull and theirs is fun? Think about it They won't gay You can expect to see fewer videos from CBS record labels, including Epic, Columbia and, Portrait on local music video shows. ting for free, so many shows are pulling these dips in retaliation. Since many of these shows are tied in with radio stations, you may be hearing less from CBS recording artists as well. CBS artists include Cyndi Lauper, Michael Jackson, Culture Club, The Hooters, Bruce Springsteen, TU Tuesday and many others. CBS is merely trying to recover some of its expenses, but since many local video shows are just breaking even, they are hardly willing to pay for cjips, especially after MTV has had exclusive use of them for as long as three months. son gas.

QD Ate News NighHino „ TdeWaves 'A-Team' and classical theater mix, Schultz finds By Constance Pace Every profession has its snobbism -- and Dwight Schultz, who plays "Howling Dog" Murdock on nBC's violent action/adventure series "The A Team," would seem to be fair target of scorn from his higher-minded classical-acting colleagues. "Not at all." Schultz insists. "My theater friends ore wonderful and supportive. II it's one thing that unites actors, it's that we aN share to or tS years of struggle. They couldn't be more happy for me." "I have thetast of both worlds doing TV and theater." says Schultz. who most recently starred in Ibsen's "Peer Gynt" at the WMiamstown (Massachusetts) Theatre. "The series has afforded me the opportunity to play Peer and to produce my own plays (in Los Angeles). I could never have dona that .before. Atsp, theater is so expensive that producers are very careful about who they cast, and they look for a IV draw. Six months after "The A-Team" started, whan lt looked like it was a hit. I got an offer to take over Edward Herrmann's lead role in the Broadway production of "Ptonty." That had a lot to do with my TV recognition." But Schultz. who is very different from the ebullient Murdock, admits that he.rarely is recognized. "ID go out to dinner with (co-star)/George Peppard. and everyone will recognize him, but pa one knows who I am. Most of the time it's a pleasure." Schultz is the national chairman of the American Juve­ nile Association, and on a recent appearance, "a child asked to see my 1.0. cards because he couldn't believe I was Murdock." As a skilled character actor, Schultz con­ siders the incident a backhanded compliment. Schultz, who is married to actress Wendy Fulton, grew up in Baltimore and graduated with a degree in theater from Towson State University there. He started his own theater ensemble company in Baltimore-and went on to perform with some of the most well-respected theater companies in the country. He received the "A-Team" offer while working in Off-Broadway shows. Although he says,. "The pilot script made me laugh out loud." he didn't think -the show'would be a hit until the pilot was shot in Mexico. "Mexican civilians just kept coming up to stare at (Mr.) T. It was phenomenal. I knew that was tt." (c)tM5 CompuMa f»fi« V4 t , CD Mystery! (CC) 'ReiNy. Ace of Spies: Oreadnoughts and Crosses.'
