Petersen's presidential thriller starring

action, generic dialogue and stale vil
lains Gary Oldman plays a mighty line
Russian had guy. but isnl this cold war
drama slut! a little outdated 7 Ford* per
formance as Hie Tuck ass’ prez is okay
enough lo maybe make this top heavy
(lick worth the matinee (Mall Outside)
Batman and Robin (PG-13) George
Clooney and a pack ot sad co-stars
lurch then way through one o( the tacki
est. most nauseating movies ot the
summer Screw the Batman franchise
(Alps)
Brssud Off (R) Wondedul him set in
a northern England coal mining town
starring Pete Poslldhwaite (Lost World)
. Ewan McGregor (Trainspotting and
Tara Fit/gerald (The Englishman Who
Went Up A Hill And Came Down A
Mountain!) This drama/comedy focuses
on the effect the probable coal pit clo
sure will have on the working class fam
ilies and the local miner brass band led
by Posllethwaite Steve Thompkinson
may be (he most memorable character
as the bandleader's son who nearly
loses his marbles atler losing every
thing else Very British, very dry and
very much worth a look (Alps)
Chising Amy (R) Good movie Worth
the cheap admission it only to see
Dwight Ewell spout oil about the racism
in the Star Wars trilogy Low budget
Gen X comedy with plenty ot blunt sex
discussions (Alps)
Conspiracy Theory (R) Although this
strange Richard Donner paranoia movie
has its share ot minor problems (goofy
soundtrack, choppy setup, Julia
Roberts), the core story is fascinating
and entertaining Mel Gibson performs
surprisingly acll as the seemingly crazy
New York cabbie who nervously pub
lishes a conspiracy theory newsletter
CIA bad guy Patric Slewart shows up in
a lew menacing scenes (one Marathon
Man/Clockwork Orange scene, in par
ticular) Minus the romantic subplot.
Conspiracy Theory is wf! worth a look
(Mall Inside)
Contact (R) One ol the summers best
big-budget movies by far Jodie Foster
leads the way through a scientilic/spin-
lual journey to the truth * Based on the
1985 Cad Sagan novel Don! miss the
intro (Beechwood)
Cop Land (R) Not a great movie, but a
good movie A New Jersey town serves
as a sate haven lor a pack ol crooked
NYPD Will the hall-deal loser Sheriff,
played by Stallone, finally stand up to
these guys 7 In spite ol the sometimes
rambling storyline and loose ends,
there’s a lot to watch in this police
drama Stallone should definitely shoot
lor more roles like this, bless his heart
Co-starring Janeane Garatalo. Michael
Rapp^xMt and Ray liorta (Beechwood)
Oef Jam's How To Bo A Player
(PG-13) Insipid comedy about sex and
infidelity starring Bill Bellamy (MTV),
lark Voorhies (’Saved By The Bell*) and
Berme Mac Rent Booty Call for quality
offensive sexual comedy (Beechwood)
Event Horizon (R) Terrible ... in a
good way Some people love bad so-h
(licks that rip oft other sci-li Hicks
Some enjoy crappy horror movies that
feature ’frightening* religious themes
Event Homon incorporates all these
vital ingredients with its loud mediocrity
and ridiculous special effects Starring
Laurence Fishburne. Sam Neill and
Joely Richardson Go cheap?
(Beechwood)
Excess Baggage (R) The pouty and
perky AJioa Sitwrstone (Clueless) and
the putty, mumbling Bemcio Del Toro
(Usual Suspects) learn up accidentally
after her staged kidnapping scheme
backfires This road comedy/drama
twists and meanders blindly through a
strange, unconvincing ’story’ There's a
little romance here, a lew gunshots
there, some Christopher Walken and a
dash ol Harry Conmck. Jr It* entertain
ing watching the odd and sometimes
funny Silvers!one/Del Torn combination,
but the movie itself lacks any locus or
purpose (Beechwood)
Fire Down Below (R1 See Movie
Pick (Mall Inside)
Tha Game (R) Directed by David
Fincher (Seven. Aliens 3). The Game is
a suspenseful thriller starring Michael
Douglas as a shrewdly successful busi
nessman who receives an unexpected
birthday gift Irom his brother. Sean
Penn The ’game’ soon erupts into a
confusing maze of devastating events
Douglas has to win the game or lose
control ol everything in his tile.
Costarring Deborah Unger and Armm
Muefier-Stahl (Mall Outside)
G.l. Jane (R) Demi Moo'e. Anne
Bancroft and Viggo Mortensen march
their way through Ridley Scott's femi
nist* military drama The serious theme
was lost on the ridiculous and gratu
itous performances and dialogue that
this movie was supposedly against !
wish they had cast Dudley Moore, or
even Rudy Ray Moore, in the lead
instead (Mall Outside)
George Of The Jungle (PG) Brendan
Fraser slams into trees while Shaft leads
a pack ot imbeciles through a crappy
kids tick (Mall Inside)
Grosse Point Blank (R) Alt ol the
anxiety and tun the 10-year high school
reunion wrapped up in a darkly funny
hired assassin comedy starring John
Cusack. Minnie Driver and Dan
Aykroyd (Alps)
Hoodlum (R) Bad news It* so disap
pointing to watch a talented cast wasted
on such bad filmmaking. Tim Roth,
Andy Garcia and Laurence Fishburne
play actual 1930s Harlem hoodlums
who clumsily battle lor control of the
lottery ’numbers* racket No story, no
continuity, no tun Even if you enjoy
onscreen gun battles and bloodshed,
they screw all that stuff up as welt.
Avoid Hoodlum (Beechwood)
Kull The Conqueror (PG-13) From
the hilarious heavy metal intro to the
fiery ’conclusion.* this is one ot fhe
most gaudy, virile, ridiculous movies

Arabic fantasy castle, plays cards with a
sexy ’slave' played by Karina lombard
marries an evil witch (whoops’) played
by Tta Carrere. loses his ’kingdom' to
the allies ol Hell, beats up Harvey
Fierstem. and nearly freezes to death
while trying to save litefoot in fhe icy

Slovakia Director John Nrcoletta must
have watched Conan The Barbarian and
The Holy Grail while on a lot ot cough
syrup A must-see lor ’bad movie' afi
cionados (Mall Outside)
Leave tt To Beaver (PG) These film
makers want the moviegoers to sit back
and take in the lull measure ol
Hollywood cuteness played out so safe
ty onscreen by the cast ol this lame TV
remake No 1 Don! be tooled Cameron
Finley is a cute kid and Jamne Turner
may well be 'quite a babe lor a mom’ as
Eddie Haskell stales, but this movie
goes nowhere and otters very little lor
the younger crown and the older bunch
Sorry to be so hard on the Beaver, but
aw. gee (Beechwood)
Men In Black (PG-13) If Tommy Lee
