B14 Terrace Review — Wednesday, June 27,1990.

The Fabulous Baker Boys
Starring Jeff Bridges, Beau -
Bridges, Michelle Pfeiffer. Pro-
duced by Paula Weinstein.
Directed by Steve Kloves. —
Rating: R. Running Time: 116
minutes.

Two slightly jaded enter-
tainers, pianists Frank and
Jack Baker (Jeff and Beau
Bridges), have just about hit
rock bottom with audiences
and each other. They need
something to bring back the
magic, something to take them
back to the top.

They finally decide to expand
the act to include a singer.
After interviewing 37 girls,
néne of whom can hold a tune,
along comes Susie Diamond of

. the Triple A Escort Service.

And what she can do to a tune
is almost sinful!

They are almost an overnight
success. With Susie’s voice, the
Fabulous Baker Boys begin the
long climb back up the ladder
of success.

Susie and Jack want to add
new material to the act ot give
it a little zip, but Frank vetoes
the idea. His motto is that
what worked once will work

forever. The gulf between the” .
two brothers (that neither was .

willing to acknowledge) begins

to widen.

As if things weren * already
complicated enough, Jack and.
Susie are attracted to one
another. Both fight against it,
for different reasons, but some

- things are just too big to ig |

nore.
-T could watch this movie a

- hundred times and still not like. -

it. There was no emotional

' satisfaction.

_ Back To The Future — Part 2.
Starring Michael J. Fox,
Christopher Lloyd, Thomas F.
Wilson. Produced by Bob Gale
& Neil Canon. Directed by — .
Robert Zemeckis. Rating: PG.
Running Time: 108 minutes.
Marty McFly (Michael J.
Fox.), his girlfriend Jennifer,
and Doc Brown (Christopher
Lloyd) are off and running
again in Doc’s time machine.
This time around, they’ve
gone forward to the year 2015.
Marty must keep his and Jen-
nifer’s future son from com-
mitting a crime that would
eventually destroy the whole.
McFly clan.

"Marty succeeds, but just

. barely. He has a run-in with a

geriatric Biff Tannen (Thomas

F, Wilson) and his grandson

Griff. Biff has not mellowed -

. with age; he’s as nasty as he

ever was. His grandson is just
like him, only worse.

His mission completed, Mary
decides to explore the future
just_a tiny bit. In an antique
store he purchases an old
sports almanac for the years ~ .
1950 - 2000. A few well-placed
bets back in his own time will -

_guarantee a successful future.

Doc is furious when he
discovers the almanac. He
throws it in the trash, explain-
ing how dangerous it is to play
around with future events. The
results could be catastrophic.

_ After a quick rescue mission
(Jennifer fell into the wrong
hands and. was in danger of
coming face to face with
herself), the trio finally make it

back to 1985. But this isn’t the ©

same 1985 they left. This 1985
is an evil place.

Quite a few of the movie ~—
critics didn't like this film, but
I thought it was quite good.
