TGIF
If you're not grinding at the Georgia Theatre Saturday night,
you'll be missing out on the prime musical opportunity of the
weekend. The Jody Grind whips up a combination of blues, jazi
and eclectic pop that positively melts on the eardrums.
Jody Grind grinds it out Sat.
TATE CENTER THEATER
• Nov. 16-17: The Handmaid's Tale.
An inventive but extremely heavy
handed feminist drama about a
futuristic society where women are
oppressed ... well, at least more than
they are now.
• midnight: Top Secret. Broad
parody of spy movies from the
“Airplane” team. The jokes are hit
andmiss, but the hits are hilarious.
Look for the very large phone.
• Nov. 27: E.T.: The Extra
Terrestrial. After Thanksgiving Break,
Space Week begins. If you don't know
anything about this movie, you
weren't alive in the 80s. E.T. is a very
entertaining movie that unfortunately
marked the beginning of Spielberg's
decline into sentimentalist pap.
• Nov. 28: Close Encounters of the
Third Kind. Contact! A gripping,
pensive tale of really nice aliens and
awestruck government officials.
These crazy E.T.'s kick a serious
bass groove!
• Nov. 29: For All Mankind. The
highlight of Space Week. This Oscar
nominated documentary tells the
story of the U S. space program with
the voices of people who lived it.
Dazzling, previously unseen NASA
space footage combined with the
remembrances of the astronauts
makes for essential viewing.
MOVIES IN TOWN
ALPS
• Flatllners. The movie that died and
came back, just to see what it's like.
• The Witches. A wonderful,
wonderful movie that was largely
overlooked in its original short run.
■ AFTER HOURS
Angelica Huston plays the ultimate
witch. Jim Henson creates the plucky
little mouse that tries to stop the
witch from taking over the world. This
movie has all the tell-me a story
magic of the best children's movies.
CLASSIC TRIPLE
• Ghost. Believe it or not. this movie
was directed by the man who made
"Top Secret” and written by the man
who wrote "Jacob's Ladder." It’s like
a festival.
• Child's Play 2. Chucky was
bothering me in a dream the other
night. I kicked his fanny.
• Jacob's Ladder. In the first 10
minutes of the movie, Jacob Singer
looks up and sees a subway placard
that reads “HELL." Should give you
some idea of the subtlety level at
work here.
GEORGIA SQUARE
• Rocky V. Go For It. That’s the
slogan for this movie. Many
thousands of dollars in advertising
budget went into developing those
three words as the theme of "Rocky
V." Go For It. Go For It. Go For It.
• Reversal of Fortune. This is a
funny, engaging and sly courtroom
drama. See it. Go for it.
• Return of Superfly. Sloooooooooow
and Stooooooopid. Great dialogue
though: "The only trouble I had in
Paris ... was deciding where to eat
dinner." and "Man, you are one slick
sheet of ice.”
• Memphis Belle. Last couple of
days for this user friendly war movie.
Go for it.
• Home Alone. John Hughes wrote
this, which means it’s either very
funny or very lame. The previews look
iffy. Could go either way.
• White Palace. Black Heart. No,
that's not nght. This is a movie about
a mismatched couple who decide to
go for it.
• Sibling Rivalry. Don't go for it.
LEFONT BEECHWOOD
• Mr. Destiny. You call him MISTER,
do you hear me?!
• Quigley Down Under. A charming
animated tale about two adventurous
mice. No, wait, that's ....
• The Rescuers Down Under. It’s
Australiafest 1990 at Lefont.
• Henry and June. Phillip Kaufmann
("The Right Stuff". "The Unbearable
Lightness of Being") put this
together. If you liked those, you might
like this.

night; Rescuers are back
The Rescuers Down Under: Cute mice the Australian way.
• Nov. 17: The Jody Grind with
special guests Deacon Lunchbox and
Blood Poets. Wow. This is a show-
and-a half. The Jody Grind, as
everybody should know by now, is the
world's most entertaining and
eclectic combo. And they're joined by
the spellbinding Blood Poets, in their
first Athens show in well over a year.
A Blood Poets show is a lot like sitting
in a circle at KinderCare, singing
"Found a Peanut" for 45 minutes.
Hypnotic and vaguely unsettling.
