This is going to make a great deal
of money because a lot of people
will spend it hoping to see another
Cocoon quality film from Ron "Opie"
Howard. They're not going to get it,
though. Sure, there was lots of
laughter in the audience, but my ex
pectations were a bit higher. The
characters are funny, but the story
leaves more to be desired; Japan
moves into an American auto factory
and tries to metamorphose the laid
back U.S. worker. No dice buddy. A
lot of "America rules" jazz and egos
in conflict. Your parents may like this.
PRETTY IN PINK
Paramount
M.M
This is the romantic fix for the
month. It's the story of a humble,
well-dressed, outcast Molly Ring-
wald who falls in love with an even
better dressed Andrew McCarthy, a
"richie," who is trying to figure out
who he is and what he wants (come
to think of it, Molly is doing the same
thing). The star of this film is Duckie
(Jon Cryer), the crazed grease for
brains who's been in love with Molly
for years. His performance alone is
worth the price of admission. The
story is rather basic, but it's from a
new perspective that we can sink
our teeth into. I enjoyed it. Lots of
good times, great music and emo-
fional tugs. Bring a date.
FUTUREKILL
M.M.
Starring: Jock Idiots, Poseur
Punks, and Fat Women. This is the
worst movie I've ever seen. It's about
a group of dwids who call them
selves Mukies. They resemble the
worst poseurs you could imagine,
complete with caked-on make up.
They are against nuclear experimen-
tation. Well, this frat house, as part
of initiation, have to kidnap a Mukie
and return him to the frat house. Of
course it backfires and the frat rats
become prey to the geeks, and have
to fight the horde off. I was looking
at the poster for this and it listed a
character named Splatter. I said
cool! But, he turned out to be a Wez
and Phantom ripoff. This is the kind
of movie that would have a world
premiere in a drive-in in Muskogee,
Oklahoma. Don't, I repeat, don't go
see this crap!

STAR STRUCK
It's not brand new, but it's worth
checking out. An Australian new
wave waitress gets the "I wanna be
a star" sickness and sets out with
her nut of a cousin to make her
dream come true. All kinds of thrills
and great music. Star Struck has an
independent film feeling to it. Very
original.
SILVERADO
M.M
Missed this one at the local thea-
ter. Kinda glad too. Very long, very
flat, very plain, like a stick of sugar-
less gum. Every western cliche is
here, all the stunts, all the shootouts.
Rent the Long Riders if you want a
spicier shoot 'em up.
VOLUNTEERS
M.M
If you like Tom Hanks, you'll ap-
preciate this. It's pure popoom-corny
and light, but very good. I laughed
and enjoyed myself without getting
deeply involved. Nothing profound
here, just dumb and entertaining.
Hanks and John Candy Peace
Corps their way into Thailand and
build a bridge, with a few minor prob-
lems of course. Suggested rental.
HIGHLANDER
M.M
Oh God, was I but pissed. I spent
5 bones on this and I walked out
before it ended. It starts out with
wrestling, which I hate. Then these
guys start scrappin' in this parking
garage with Samurai swords. Sound
bad? These two warring clans from
Celtic times are immortals and have
been fighting for hundreds of years
to rightfully claim their land, nuff
said. It was so bad I snuck into the
other movie, which I should have re-
viewed in the first place.
BEST OF TIMES
B.E.
Kurt Russell and Robin Williams
play two regular guys who were foot-
ball stars in their high school days.
Jack (Robin Williams) fumbled the
potential winning pass in the last
game of the season way back when.
He has never lived it down, so he
tries to get the two rival teams back
together to see if they could have
won that fateful game. Jack proves
he can win. It is great, and I mean
hella funny
