■ BEST BET
10 • The Red and Black • Friday, November 2, 1990
A&E
Enjoy the fall weather! Get out and have a picnic in the fresh air
before winter kicks in and drives you inside for three long
months. Go biking or take a road trip to the mountains. See
those changing leaves. The environment Is a wonderful thing!
Baby Flamehead, Roosevelt play “show of the week”
TATE CENTER THEATER
• Nov. 2-3: Speaking Parte. This is
the movie to see this weekend. Atom
Egoayn's excavation of emotions in
the media age is a more literate take
on "sex, lies, and videotape."
Extensively praised, but unseen in
Athens until now. Reportedly a
modern classic.
• midnight: Evil Dead. Sam Raimi's
first shoestring feature showed
glimmers of what was to come in the
superior "Evil Dead 2" and
"Darkman." Stephen King said he
loved this movie.
• Nov. 4-5: Cinema Paradlto. This
movie won an Oscar for Best Foreign
Film last year and has enchanted
audiences around the world with its
sweet story of an Italian town that is
centered around its movie house.
Another must-see.
• Nov. 7: Strangers on a Train. Criss
cross. A chilling Hitchcock film about
a deadly game of "You scratch my
back, I'll scratch yours."
• Nov. 8: Gates of Heaven / Vernon,
Florida. From the maker of "The Thin
Blue Line" comes these two off beat
documentaries, one about pet
cemetaries and one about a very
strange Florida town. The twisted,
real life humour of these two pieces
are what first got Errol Morris noticed.
MOVIES IN TOWN
ALPS
• Darkman. All they found was an
ear. It didn't take long to bury that.
• Ghost Dad. Woah. "Ghost" and
"Ghost Dad" in the same town in one
week? Pinch me.
CLASSIC TRIPLE
■ AFTER HOURS
• Night of the Living Dead. Why is it
that the dead always come back
mad? Wouldn't it be great if they
arose from the grave, had some
brunch and tossed the frisbee around
for awhile? See, they're dead, but
they're pretty cool about it.
• Jacob's Ladder. The main problem
with this movie is that they've got a
character named Jake ... and no
Fatman. Where's the Fatman?
GEORGIA SQUARE
• Flatliners. I’ve entered Hell. I’m
wandering through Hell.
• Fantasia. Reason 5 to see this
movie — the hippo jumping and
squashing the alligator.
• Postcards from the Edge. Get any
more people in here and we'll need a
lubricant. Heh. Heh.
• Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael.
This Winona Ryder coming-of-age
story is supposed to be off-beat and
interesting, if not wholly successful.
Certainly the more promising of the
two movies opening this weekend.
• Memphis Belle. The best scene of
the movie — John Lithgow reading
letters from the parents of dead
soldiers as grainy war footage plays
in the background. There’s more
power in this five minutes of film than
in the rest of the movie combined.
• Marked for Death. Even the title is
lame.
• Pacific Heights. Squandered
opportunities for all involved.
• White Palace. James Spader
almost saves this movie with an
engaging performance that recalls
Marlon Brando and Denzel
Washington. Not that the acting
Winona Ryder: In "Welcome
styles aren't similar, but all three
command the viewer's attention in a
special way.
• Sibling Rivalry. A jumbled plot
wrapped around flat characters.
Hoover City.
LEFONT BEECHWOOD
• Mr. Destiny. This one screams for
video.
• Quigley Down Under. Where
women glow and men chunder.
• Graveyard Shift. A tale of terror with
added weight for this rat infested
campus.
His
Home, Roxy Carmichael.”
• Henry and June. Uma Thurman and
Fred Ward. Ooo la la.

MUSIC IN TOWN
40 WATT
• Nov. 2: Baby Flamehead and
Roosevelt. Baby Flamehead is a
charming junk-folk band out of
Philadelphia. Roosevelt is a divinely
inspired distortion-riff band from right
here. Not a perfect matchup, but still
the Show of the Week.
• Nov. 3: Late Nite Disco with Mike
Church. How you say? Dee
Groooovee!
• Nov. 5: Mark Wallace Dance
Party. How you say? Dee gawgisss!
• Nov. 6: Yams and Trade Morgan &
Media Department.
• Nov. 7: The Vultures.
• Nov. 8: Jack-O-Nuts and Dirt. Jack-
0 Nuts are the most interesting
hardcore band in town, mixing up
tempos and chord patterns with an
almost jazz-like intensity.
GEORGIA THEATRE
• Nov. 2: Bruce Hampton and the
Aquarium Rescue Unit.
• Nov. 3: Stairway to Heaven. Buy
the new Zeppelin boxed set and
spend the evening at home listening
to that. If you need visuals, look at
some pictures.
• Nov. 5: The Bodeans and The
Vultures. The Bodeans put on a
pretty good show, considering they've
only got a handful of worthy songs.
The $10 ticket price is a bit steep.
• Nov. 6: Dashboard Saviors and
Liquor Cabinet. The Saviors have
perhaps the greatest lyric in rock and
roll history: "Johnny made a molotov
cocktail / Out of a Boone’s Farm
bottle / An Aerosmith T-shirt / and
some gas / from his daddy's store."
A great night for rockers here.
• Nov. 7: Pylon. One of the first and
still one of the best Athens bands.
Everything is cool.
• Nov. 8: The Grapes.
ROCKFISH PALACE
• Nov. 2: Waylaid and Heavy Ethel.
Two bands who sound a lot like you'd
expect them to sound.
• Nov. 5: Hoot Night. Hoot hoot hoot
hoot hoot hoot hoot hoot.
• Nov. 6: Michael Guthrie and
Kilkenny Kats. Guthrie is one of the
great treasures of this town, largely
undiscovered. Those who know, know
— if you know what I mean.
THE DOWNSTAIRS
• Nov. 2: 28 Days and Flytrap. 28
Days are a wonderful country-pop
band.
• Nov. 3: The Warblers and Chris
White.
• Nov. 5: Debbie Norton and Andrew
Donaldson.
• Nov. 6: Tom Slick and the
Marvelous Magnetic Tape Release
Adventure.
• Nov. 7: Claymation Short Films.
with special guests Yeoman and
Grady Cousins. Claymation is
coolmation.
• Nov. 8: Sufferin' Succotash and
Trade Morgan. Nashville has
produced a lot of great progressive
rock bands. Sufferin' Succotash is
not really one of the best. Fair, but
not great. It would be cool if some of
the great ones could make it down
here sometime.
— Noel Murray
• Ghost. Woah. "Ghost" and "Ghost
Dad" ... oops. I said that already. Tee
hee. Sorry.

A New Leader for a New Generation
This summer Athens and Clarke County voters over
whelmingly said there was a "better way" to govern this
community than through two increasingly duplicative and
combative bodies. The challenge to implement that mandate
is now upon us.
Getting the new government through a difficult transition
period and shaping it to what you, the voters, wish it to be
will be an extraordinarily time-consuming and tough task. I
believe my professional, business, and civic experiences have
provided me a strong basis on which to step in and quickly
meet that challenge. I solicit your vote and support.
