Video Views is a
community-service arti-
cle.. It is the hope of this
Newspaper that the
following video reviews
will be helpful to the
readers in their eventual
choosing of viewing
entertainment.

The article’s purpose
is to review rental movies
which are not very ap-
pealing at first glance,
and thus might get
overlooked.

We may review movies
of a more mainstream
nature, but this will be
kept to a minimum, for
most people will rent
these videos anyway.

For those who wish to
know our opinions of
more popular motion
pictures, we will have a
short list at the end of
each article.

Video Views will
feature a review by two
different critics. This will
be helpful for those who
may not always agree
with one of the
reviewers, but may agree
more with the other.
Suggestions and
criticisms of this article
are always welcome.

Gum Disease

Dental researchers at the Uni-
versity of California, San Frar-
cisco have developed the first test
tube model for analyzing how
ora! bacteria attach to the root
surface of the tooth and damage
gum tissue—-a step which could
lead to development of new thera-
pies tocontrol periodontal (gum)
disease or even ultimately prevent

It

Although it ls known that bac-
terial masses, or plaque, on the
leeth initiate periodontal disease,
very little is known about how
and why bacteria attach to the
root surface and beginto destroy
gum tissue.

This video features a
‘“‘yuppy’ couple who

and bought a new one.
The husband is waiting
patiently for a promo-

the house), but instead
he gets a transfer to New
York.

Frustrated with his
life, the husband quits
his job, convinces his
wife to quit her job, li-
quidates all their assets,
and buys a motorhome.
They then leave to
discover America and
themselves, just as in
Easy Rider.

Lost in America is a
nice movie with new
jdeas, but this picture
still doesnt seem to
work on its most base
level — to entertain. It
has a few good laughs
and ideas, but they are
drowned out by long

Philip Musselman
viewpoint

The idea behind Lost
in America is super, not
saying it hasn’t been us-

isn’t a bad movie, but if ed before with a dif-

you remember this video
two weeks after you see
it, I’d be really surprised.

I suppose if you’ve
ever felt trapped in your
own life, you might iden-
tify with the main
characters in this picture,
but to identify with this
movie is not enough to
carry Lost in America.
The best thing I can say
for this movie is that it’s
mildly amusing, has
‘'some’’ funny
dialogues, displays some
nice road scenery, and
does make you want to
see Easy Rider.

THE KEY TO WEIGHT
MAINTENANCE

Q: After several months of
dieting, I have finally lost
those extra pounds I've been
carrying around. But I've lost
weight before and gained It all
back. How can | keep that
weight off this time?

A: First, don't be afraid to
eat: just eat the right foods! A
diet high in lean meats. fresh
frults and vegetables ts good
insurance for weight
maintenance. These foods
contain “staying power" and
will satisfy your hunger for
longer periods of time. OF
course, you'll still want to

limit your serving! size and
number.

Avold junk foods that
contain refined sugars and
white flour. These fonds
Inittally satisfy your hunger.
Dut soon you crave morc.

Remember, take one day at
a time At Diet Center, we
believe that permanent,
weight loss comes only
through dedication to
changing your eating: and
exercise habits,

Terrace Review — Wednesday, Jan. 22, 1986 11

Terrace’s Video review

ferent approach, but the
idea is ‘lost in the movie’
because the makers of
this film carry it too far
in the wrong direction.
The ever present com-
parison to Easy Rider
did not thrill me. Don’t
get me wrong, Easy
Rider is a legend, but one
should not try to carry a
movie by advertising
another. The transition

features:

from ‘‘yuppy’’ to ‘‘hip-
py’? was quite real, and
the way the title describ-
ed so many people’s lives
was good — but some-
one forgot to close the
door on the influence of
other films.

Basically I would say
that this movie started as
a good idea, but was
drowned with additives
that it did not need. I
wouldn’t say it was ex-
cessively bad but it was a
disappointment to me.
