■ BEST BETS
TGIF
Misery and Wolves highlight
this weekend’s happenings
TATE CENTER THEATER
• Nov. 30- Dec. 1: Total Recall. Free!
Free! A trip !o Mars! For 1300 Burma
Shave jars! This is the third Paul
Verhoeven film to be shown herb this
quarter — an inventive, manic,
hyperviolent Schwartzenegger
vehicle.
• midnight: Aliens. Overrated action
pic from overrated director James
Cameron. A lot of explosions, but very
little wit or atmosphere.
• Dec. 2: Panther Patchall. The first
installment in the highly acclaimed
APU Trilogy, this adaptation of an
Asian children's book is reportedly a
classic.
MOVIES IN TOWN
ALPS
• Presumed Innocent. Pretty darned
engaging. Worth a buck at least.
• Problem Child. Ha. Ha. Ha.
CLASSIC TRIPLE
• Ghost. Oh, to be dead and doting.
• Child's Play 2. A special movie the
whole family will enjoy.
• Graffiti Bridge. Think of the great
social good that could've been done
with the money spent on this movie.
Sigh. Good soundtrack though.
GEORGIA SQUARE
• Rocky V. You're not Mickey, I’m not
you and it’s my way or the highway.
Vroooooom.
• Three Men and a Little Lady. Sorry,
that's just too many people for one
movie, How about "Two Men and a
Cuddly Kitten?" That would be so
cute.
• Reversal of Fortune. What does it
mean, all this legal activity? Is it in
the service of the devil? And if so, can
the devil get justice?
• The Nutcracker Prince. Another
brainless cartoon that treats children
as idiots. Go see the ballet.
• Dances With Wolves. The third
best movie of the year, so far.
• Misery. I read this book last
Christmas and thought, "You know,
of all the Stephen King books, this
one is the most adaptable to the
screen." Lo and behold, I got my
Christmas wish. Miracles do happen
this time of year. In all seriousness,
this looks really good.
• Home Alone. My six-year-old
nephew Daniel thought this was
"Funny." I tend to agree.
LEFONT BEECHWOOD
• The Rescuers Down Under.
Dangerous Dan liked this one, too. I
haven't seen it, but I trust the big guy.
• The Krays. Highly acclaimed
gangster (no way) movie starring the
guy from Spandau Ballet. My brother
(Daniel's dad) said that he'd see it,
except that he’s afraid he’ll be
humming "True" for the whole two
hours.
• Jacob’s Ladder. Hell's Hospital
looks like where the medical
students from "Ratliners" will
practice one day.
• Predator 2. This time, the jungle is
urban. See, there’s a twist on it. Last
time, it was just a jungle, but this
time ... don’t you understand? It’s
like a twist.

Kathy Bates and James Caan star in Misery. — n«i Murray
1. Curl up next to someone special — someplace quiet, with a
roaring fire and a bottle of wine — and then find a way to keep
warm. 2. Attend some righteous end of the quarter fiesta. 3.
Study for your finals like some geek from Tech.
Nathan Lee Chasing His Horse, Jason Lone Hilland and Micheal Spears portray Sioux
boys in Dances With Wolves.
MUSIC IN TOWN
40 WATT
• Nov. 30: Mary My Hope and
Sunspots. Mary My Hope carries on
the Southern tradition of dark, edgy
rock.
• Doc. 1: Run Westy Run. Verrrrry
good heartland rock band whose
three albums have all garnered much
praise and cultish appeal. Would be
Show of the Week, if it weren't for the
Georgia Theatre lineup.
• Doc. 3: Disco, dat co, everything
gotta co.
• Dec. 4: Dreams So Real and
Creation Artifact. Dreams So Real
gets a lot more attention then they
really desen/e, given their general
lack of imagination. Creation Artifact,
though, has been generating good
word of mouth. Perhaps you should
check them out, then see
Lemonheads down the street.
• Dec. 5: Mombo Fury with Insane
Jane.
• Dec. 6: ACLU Benefit with
Mercyland and Sons of Floyd. A good
night of music for the worthiest
cause. ACLU stands for American
Civil Liberties Union, that's Civil
Liberties, as in the First Amendment,
as in rights guaranteed all Americans.
Don't let anyone tell you different.
GEORGIA THEATRE
• Nov. 30: Johnny Quest. A cartoon,
but a pretty good one.
• Dec. 1: Indeclson. Maybe you
should see this thrash-metal band.
I’m not sure.
• Dec. 3: Miracle Legion. Labelled
an R.E.M. clone, Miracle Legion
actually has a spirit of their own that
is totally unique. Their songs recall
the autumnal northeast, with lyrics
that evoke strong ties to childhood
and dedication to friends and family.
In short, one of America’s best
bands. This ties for Show of the Week
with ...
• Dec. 4: Lemonheads. Another of
America's best, this Boston message
from God combines the melodic
jangle of most American alternative
music with a fierce, fast roar. The
result is a great rush of distortion and
passion. Also pick up "Creator," their
second album and their most
seminal.
• Dec. 5: Flagpole Christmas Album
Release Party supposedly will
feature as many of the bands on the
album as possible. Wow! What a roll
call!
• Dec. 6: Allgood Music Co. Okay, if
that's what they want to believe.
ROCKFISH PALACE
• Nov. 30: Seven Simons and
A.H.O.M.P. The Simons’ track on the
Flagpole Christmas Album sounds
really good, and may bode well for the
work on their new album.
DOWNSTAIRS
• Nov. 30: Roosevelt and The Twig
Eaters. Roosevelt is truly ace, but you
might want to bring some earplugs to
this gig. They'll sound just fine and
your ears will survive to hear them
again.
• Dec. 1: Maglster Ludl and Vic
Varney. Mr. Varney is an Athenian
legend, from his days with Method
Actors. Solo, he shines on still.
Magister Ludi is also quite wonderful.
• Dec. 3: Catbird Seat and David
Franklin.
• Dec. 4: Mrs. Robinson’s Daughter.
• Dec. 5: Bullet Proof and Joe the
Fireman.
• Dec. 6: August Spies.
