20 . Terrace Review — Wednesday, July 30, 1986 | ] 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). For our summer readers, we are going to test an accelerated format. This way we can quickly outline some of our favorite motion pictures (and our least favorite). Patrick Mcintyre Lifeforce (R): Rating * * 4 A slightly above average space thriller about three alien vampires from Halley’s comet. Not nearly as hokey as it sounds, it manages to keep a feverish pace up to the climatic ending — London caught in a plague of soul-eating zombies. Mathilda May is stunning as the female alien; unfortunately, . she has to be in the same scenes with an American who should switch to decaffeinated coffee: Real Genius (PG): Rating * 4 This video could have been good, real good. It is the story of a group of incredibly smart university students who are tricked into building a spy lazer tween the young recruit and the old brain on the 1 block is fun, and the young boy’s relationship with a hyperactive girl down the hall almost becomes touching. However, it becomes lost in standard teenage movie sub-plots and idiotic moments that flatten any peaks in the film. Although occasionally funny, Real Genius is real dumb. Once Bitten (PG-13): Rating *« * Jim Carry, the star of this picture, is a real talent. He plays a bewildered youth with such energy that you can’t help but like him. It isa shame he is stuck in such a crummy movie. The story revolves around a beautiful vampire that must drink blood before but it ends up being a cross between Vampirella and Porkies. Back to the Future (PG): Rating **x * * What can I say that hasn’t already been said? Once in a while, we get the pleasure of viewing a film that is truly fun to watch. Back to the Future takes us to 1955, where Michael J. Fox’s parents Video Views — ’ by Patrick Mcintyre & Philip Musselman for the government. The friendship that builds be- ” Halloween. It could have been aii innocent comedy, — sponaored by Video Station in the Skeena Mail turn out to be not that much different than he is. With a wacky mad scientist and a dash of special ef- fects, Back to the Future deserves every star it gets. Troll (PG-13): Rating * * This low budget fantasy movie is made, I think, by the same people who made the Gremlins ques- fionable Ghoulies. It is the story of an evil troll who wants to transform all the tenants into faerie creatures so that he can unleash them on the un- _ suspecting world: Although the ending is ‘‘corny- to-the-max’’, there are some good scenes involving the troll and a sentient mushroom, and an in- credibly touching scene involving a dying midget. John Carl Buechler, the troll creator, may not be Carlo Rambaldi, but he is still very talented and the monsters are very impressive — even if only one of them actually has legs. ° Philip Musselman My Name is Nobody (PG): Rating x x * V, This film is a fun film to watch because it takes the humorous approach to westerns. We get a famous gunfighter who is constantly followed by our favorite lunatic, Terrance Hill. Hill plays a young gunfighter who wishes to make a name for himself and become like his hero. Obviously no one cares how fast a man can actually draw a gun, but to our delight, speeded up scenes can be done in a fine, humorous method. I tend to like movies that are made just to have fun with the audience and this one qualifies. Flash Dance (PG): Rating * This film disgraces the dance movies of old. It’s like comparing Beyond the Stars to Star Wars. In fact, I thought that it was excessively stupid, and I’ll never know why it made money. The film was far from tasteless, but it was close to being almost too corny. At the end of the film a question to ask is: where did the plot begin, or was it ever to begin? But, an end is an end and ‘‘oh, what a feeling!”’ Fashion | work wear | . :.. oy om: . choices easier.
