It's that old adage about not to wish too hard for what you want; you just might gett. Meryl Streep is hysterical as a vain actress who steals her best friend's boyfriend, a plastic surgeon and marries him. All of their lives become utterly miserable, inter- twining over the years until the two women take of potion to remain youthful. Goldie Hawn is downright diabolical as the jilted writer Call the Scugog Citizen for Service Directory EIGER TCH 1 Ty {aI (ef EERE [ANA at the flics who never overcomes her hatred for her buddy. When the two discover they have taken the potion and are now immortal, it makes for some of the most vicious comic moments on screen this year. You see, no matter what they do to each other, they cannot kill each other To see Streep having the time of her life with Hawn is irresistable, but stealing the show is Bruce Willis (No, I am not kidding) as the man both women once loved. As the nerdy little man who cannot what is going on, Willis 18 very funny. For once, he gives a performance rather than a smirk show The make-up and visuals are a huge part of the film's success, but without strong performances this would never work. As it is, Death Becomes Her is a riot. ALIEN 3: What were they thinking when they threw this mess of a movie together? After the sheer brilliance of Alien (1979) and the electrifying Aliens (1986) you would think the film-makers would have the integrity to at least try to make a film worthy of being mentioned in the same breath. Not so, Alien 3 is an unprecedented failure despite a strong performance from Sigourney Weaver. Reprising her role as Ripley (who this time out crashes on a prison planet with a dreaded alien in tow) Weaver commands the screen with authority few actresses have. Once again, this nasty alien slaughters anyone in its path and once again Ripley goes to war. The film's one great moment is the end, when Weaver has a moment of pure courage that is stunning to see SERVICE Electrical Contractors my" Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday, March 16, 1993--29 4 Director David Fincher should return to filming Madonna's videos; he clearly was not ready for major films. Avoid this one at all costs. It's a pale imitation of the previous films, a two hour video with nothing there. SNEAKERS: 1 like Robert Redford; he's one of the most watchable and often over- looked actors/directors in cinema history. He has such an easy-going manner on screen you often forget the man is acting. However, a glance at his best performances reminds one of his talents. In Sneakers, an intriguing thriller, he's the leader of a group of misfit computer geniuses who are hired to break into banks to check the security systems. He's also hiding from the FBI for an incident that happened over 20 years ago, an incident that saw his best friend go to jail and die there. The intricate plot involves Bishop (Redford) being found by the government and offered a deal to bug and steal an object the government wants. Of course, the men are not government agents all, thus plunging Bishop and his gang into deadly circumstances. Nothing is as it seems in Sneakers. You are always guessing what direction the plot will take. What keeps the film from becoming tedious are the wonderful collection of performances, especially Redford as a world-weary whiz who wants his old life back. Dan Ackroyd is hilarious as Mother, a hyper-paranoid computer whiz who 18 convinced the landing on the moon was a fraud, and that Kennedy 18 still alive + Equally fine are Sidney Poitier, River Phoneix and David Straithman as Redford's mis-fit geniuses and Ben Kingsley as the disturbed villain with a tie to Redford's past It's a treat to see Redford back on the screen doing such good work RECTORY = KEN P MURRAY JACK MONSMA ELECTRIC ELECTRIC Lo.
