MUR LE eee eT A pe ete 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.
