MOVIES
TATE CENTER THEATER
• Friday: Lone man. Cyberpunk
Japanimation at its finest. Thrills,
chills and bizarre facial expressions.
• Saturday: Flat of tha North Star.
Cyberpunk Japanimation at its gross
est. Exploding heads, melting flesh,
women without nipples ... let's hear
it for Manga!
• Midnight: Big Trouble In Little
China. Goofy fun from director John
Carpenter, partially written by W.D.
("The Adventures of Buckaroo
Banzai") Richter.
(JAPANIMATION WEEKEND!}
• Sunday: Robot Carnival.
Cyberpunk Japanimation at its gen
tlest and most enchanting. A com
pendium of short animated films by
top Japanese cartoonists, including
Katshurio ("Akira") Otomo. I say go
for it.
• Monday: All Three. Call it a festi
val, if you like.
CLASSIC TRIPLE
• Father of the Bride Out, out,
damn film!
• The Great Mouse Detective. My
favorite part of the movie? The spas
tic robot queen, no question. I'm se
rious. you gotta see this.
• Memoirs of an Invisible Man.
Legendary screenwriter William
Local fantabulous artsy rock-popsters Seven Simons will be
whooping it up at O'Malley's tonight and Saturday. And get this
- those of us with two X chromosomes get in FREE! Can you
believe It? Only In America! Stina and Sasa will not be there.
stampeding Japanimation tramples Tate Center
■ AFTER HOURS
Goldman ("Butch Cassidy and the
Sundance Kid," "The Princess
Bride") wrote the first draft of this
script, and when asked to do a
rewrite, he reportedly said, "I'm too
old and too rich for this (crap)."
Good instincts, 8illy.
• The Lawnmower Man Okay, basi
cally you've got this kindly but dumb
gardener named Job (real subtle,
eh?) who looks like a cross between
Ed from "Northern Exposure" and
Brant from Chickasaw Mudd
Puppies, right? And he hooks up
with Remington Steele (Pierce
Brosnan in his best acting perfor
mance since the Maidenform bra
commercials) who's a brilliant scien
tist, researching the educational
possibilities of Virtual Reality, right?
And see. Remington Steele makes
Job into this super-smart, super-pow
ered entity who get an extreme case
of existential angst and starts killing
people, right? Only he mostly just
kills them by rearranging their
molecules. He only kills one guy
with a lawnmower. I'm not sure you
should get to be called “The
Lawnmower Man" if you only mow
one guy. He should be "The
Molecule Reananger." At any rate,
this movie basically exploits Stephen
King's name and Virtual Reality tech
nology (which the film treats in the
same way 1950s scl-fi films treated
space travel ... with ignorance and
fear) to create a kind of
"Dreamscape for Algernon." And ex
cept for one line ("He's the best
chimp I ever had!") it's not even
that funny. I think not.
ALPS CINEMA
• Cape Fear. ...or even the Cape of
Good Hope. They could've vaca
tioned there. Completely different
movie.
GEORGIA SQUARE
• Wayne'e World. I once thought I
had mono for an entire year... but It
turns out I was just really bored.
• Once Upon a Crime. When will
filmmakers understand that there's
no need to make John Candy into a
goofy caricature? Just let him be
John Candy and he's hilarious. Boy,
is this frustrating!
• Medicine Man. Also, what's the
deal with all the widescreen shots of
natives' breasts and butts? Is this
necessary?
• My Cousin Vlnny. Academy-Award
winner Joe Pesci (who was so rivet
ing in "The Super") plays a New
Yawk lawyer who comes down South
to get his cousin (played by Ralph
Macchio, who is now 68 years old)
out of jail. Rimed in Georgia, y'all.
• Hear My Song. Ned Beaty stars in
this critically acclaimed little Irish
comedy about the search for a leg
endary tenor. I've been looking for
ward to this one.
• Gladiator. The guy from “Twin
Peaks" and the guy from "Boyz N
the Hood" pal around and do a little
boxing. No big whoop.
• Final Analysis. This will not help
you with your exams next week.
Don't be misled.
• Prince of TMm "Sedlt Fo Ecnlrp-
That's "Prince of Tides' backwards.
Would you give an Academy Award
to a movie called "Sedlt Fo Ecnlrp?"
I think not.
• Stop, or My Mom Will Shoot.
Basically, movies like this are for
kids who are too old for Disney and
too young for Stephen Seagal. Here
they get some sophomoric laughs
and a few cuss words, no harm
done. Hey, I dug "Hooper" when I
was a lad.
• Beauty and the Beast. Damn it.
there must be more than this provin
cial life!
LEFONT BEECHWOOD
• The Hand that Rocks the Cradle.
Big charity event coming up. All the
evil nannies of the world are getting
together. "Hands that Rock the
Cradle Across America." Should be
a good one.
• Fried Green Tomatoes. Yum.
• Article 99. Ray Liotta and Kelfer
Sutherland play VA doctors who,
damn it, are trying to make a differ
ence.
• American Me. Edward James
Olmos directs and stars In this epic
tale of a Hispanic family's life in
prison across many generations.
- Noel Xtravaganza
MUSIC
Thought for the Day: I have been
pondering the cultural phenom that
was "Joanie Loves Chachl." Was
Chachl: a) a false Icon of greaser-
dom, b) a true Icon of man's alien
ation from God or c) just a chump?
Erin "Joanie" Moran's face has been
popping up on the tabloids recently.
She claims she was abducted by ex
traterrestrials and forced to do
"Happy Days." Sort of a down-home,
apple pie and family values take on
"Deep Throat," don't ya think? Sorry
... NOT IN MY AMERICA!!!!
40 WATT CLUB

great tastes that taste great togeth

GEORGIA THEATRE
• March 13: Widespread Panic.
White Buffalo opens. Did anyone no
tice that WP's last disc was packed
with tired groove-jams? A pseudo
whiskey song effort at best. Cube
steak rock for the masses.
• March 14: Widespread Panic. The
horror... the horror. Stina say SO?
• March 16: Jim Carroll. In a spo
ken-word presentation. Carroll is one
of those mysterious people who can
say things we all think about but
can never put to words. Check him
out. Sasa and Stina say GO!
• March 17: The Back Doors. The
"Tribute to the Doors." As hopeless
