Awakenings
Starring Robin Williams, Robert
De Niro. Produced by Walter F.
Parkes and Lawrence Lasker.
Directed by Penny Marshall.
Rating: PG 13. Running time:
120 minutes.

In 1969 when research physi-
cian Dr. Malcolm Sayer
(Williams) first began working at
Bainbridge, a chronic hospital in
the Bronx, he noticed a curious
thing about the hospital’s
catatonic patients. Althougo
suffering from a rare disease that
left them in a zombie-like state,
their reflexes for simple things
like catching a ball were excel-
lent. All of which reminded Sayer
of a similar but less severe dis-
ease — Parkinson’s.

After much cajoling, Sayer
finally received permission to use
an experimental drug on one of
the patients. Leonard Lowe (De
Niro) was the first to receive this
controversial treatment... with
astounding results. Leonard’s
"awakening" after years in a
catatonic state was little less than

a miracle. Soon all the patients,
some of whom had been
catatonic for 40 years, were
awakened and living once again.
The resultant friendship that
blossomed between Sayer and
Lowe was a kind of rebirth not
only for Lowe, but for the shy
and lonely doctor as well. Which
made it all the more difficult
when the victory proved to be
bitter-sweet.
Based on a true story, this is a

- heart wrenching film.

King Raiph
Starring John Goodman, Peter

O'Toole, John Hurt. Produced by .

Jack Brodsky. Directed by David

S. Ward. Rating: PG. Running
time: 96 minutes.

Talk about being in the wrong
place at the wrong time! A freak
accident has wiped out Britain’s
entire royal family. It looks as
though centuries-old tradition is
about to come to a grinding halt
until an exhaustive search of the
bloodline reveals a distant heir in
the person of one Ralph Jones

(Goodman), a Las Vegas lounge
singer. Ralph the entertainer is
now Ralph I, and merry old —
England will never be quite the
same again!

He receives a crash course on
royal manners from his very

private secretary, Cedric Willing-

ham (O’Toole), but Ralph is a
good-natured bumbler at best.
Turing him loose inside Buck-
ingham Palace is just courting
disaster.

King Ralph manages to do just
about everything from dunking
the royal crown in the bathtub to
offending a neighbouring nation.
All of which pleases the schem-
ing Lord Graves (Hurt) to no
end, Graves covets the throne of
England for himself. Then things
_get really hectic when Raiph falls
head over heels for a stripper
with stage fright. It’s enough to
make the monarchy tum over in
their royal graves.

This is a very warmhearted,
entertaining movie.
