Video Views is basically a movie review article based on the ‘Four Star’? method of rating movies (four stars being great, three being good, two being fair, and one star being poor). Patrick Mcintyre Annie Hall (PG): Rating * * x * Woody Allen’s Academy award-winning comedy is about a relationship that is doomed from the mo- ment the Allen character was born. This story is told in a storybook fashion, which allows breaks within the film so as to let Woody Allen talk to the viewer(s). Annie Hall is enjoyable, real, and one of Woody Allen’s best films. Kiss of the Spiderwoman (PG-13): Rating * * x This is a story of two prisoners from different worlds, who must share a prison cell. One of the prisoners is a communist rebel and the other is a homosexual window dresser. Each of the prisoners holds on to something in order to help them keep their sanity; the communist treasures his ideals, while the homosexual shares his memories of a Nazi propaganda film. Although this film was nominated at the Academy Awards, I felt the ending was merely tacked on for cheap irony. Mishima (R): Rating * x * * Mishima is the autobiography. of Yukio Mishima, one of Japan’s most respected writers. This film documents his background by showing both scenes of his life and his works in a collage of images. Not only are these images effective but they also create a better understanding of Mishima’s life. This film definitely has a completeness about it which makes the viewer feel well informed about Yukio Mishima without an ineffective series of flashbacks.

Although the film was sweetened by the talents of John Candy and newcomer, Jenifer Chester, it is still just as plain and boring asa plate of fried dough. The script is uninspired and too predictable. Everyone in the film seems eager to keep the movie rolling, but all they succeed in doing is keeping the film from upsetting our stomachs. Philip. Musselman Alien (R): Rating * x x Alien is a fine movie which creates an effective en- vironment and attempts to use it to its full potential. Sci-fi movies usually, if done correctly, will cap- ture their audiences in an imaginative situation that seems to be very new. Alien does not use a totally original idea, but it does weave a nice web of intrigue. Generally, the whole effect was quite pleasing, but I did wish that character development was more of a priority; one usually becomes more concerned about someone that they feel they know. Logically, character development does seem useless for doomed characters, but then again if an actor acts more to achieve a developed roll usually the overall image is stronger. Alien is vivid and the special effects are very pro- fessional. Volunteers (PG): Rating x I was very disappointed in Volunteers because of its ineffectiveness as a comedy, even with the talents of John Candy and Tom Hanks. The film isn’t terrible, but the great potential that this movie has is just not harvested. Just imagine a situation where over-privileged university graduates join the peace corps to help underprivileged people, the possibilities are almost endless, Yet, this film gives us a drab situation which almost seems insulting to our intelligence. I admit that there are some good ideas that are us- ed but it almost seems like a sin to limit such a limitless situation to this simplicity, St. Elmos Fire (PG-13): Rating * * * 1%. St. Elmos Fire is another one of those teenager movies which deals with youth and the problems that they sometimes face. - In an almost over-indulging manner, similar to soap operas, the problems seem too large, but the ex- tremities create more impact. After 30 minutes everything seems very real for the presented situation and a sense of. style is evident. The extremities no longer appear so extreme and the characters no longer seem unaware of their dilem- mas. The film presents its characters with a reality that suggests that the circle of friends can no longer party their troubles away. Effective messages and powerful j imagery make St. Elmos Fire a sure thing. Where it’s at... Entertainment A guide to Terrace’s night life — - the “who where and when" for entertainment.
