Thursday, April 28, 1994 These girls are bad and so is the movie by Craig Campbell Colltgian Staff I was very excited to see "Bad Girls." I am a huge fan of Andie MacDowell, I like Westerns, and I was curious about the new and improved Drew Banymore. Madeleine Stowe and Mary Stuart Masterson were icing on the cake. The previews I saw only made me more anxious to see the movie. Guns, horses, and prostitutes in the old West are things that would make any B movie a winner. Unfortunately, the movie turned out to be a bit of a disappointment The basic story line is enjoyable and kept my interest. Four prostitutes become unjustly accused outlaws on the run to Oregon. In the midst of their escape, all of their money is stolen and they must fight to get it back. It is a simple plot that the peedect structure for the violence any good Western should have. This film, however, lacks much of that violence. It becomes involved in digressions of women's oppression. I think the director of the film was having delusions of grandeur and failed to realize he was making a secood-rate movie. I don't have a problem with films that make a statement about the oppression of women, but this film was advertised as a shoot-'em-up western similar to "Young Guns," but with women. I was expecting to be on the edge of my seat with all of the action but I wasn't The cast of the film does an incredible job, especially MacDowell, but the film moves a little too slow for me to truly enjoy it I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't see this film. I am suggesting that you either wait until it comes out on video or go see it in the right frame of mind. It is a B-movie txyingtobean A-movie. HWBWWBBBMW The by Scott Moore CoUtgkmSuff There has been a Beatles revival of sorts lately. If you go to Spencer’s you’ll notice Beatles figurines, posters, T-shirts, and mugs among other things. There’s also die new movie about the Fab Four’s early days tided “Backbcat.” To top it all off is the news of some form of Beatles reunion. In the midst of all this inundation, one could easily forget what first brought the moptops their fame: the music. With this in mind, let’s take a look at the recent re-release of the group’s first greatest hits collection, The Beatles/1962- 1966, sometimes called The Red Album because of its cover’s hue. This digitally remastered two CD collection is a must to fans of the biggest band to ever come from Liverpool. The first CD contains the Beaties* earliest hits including “Can’t Buy Me Love," “Love Me Do," and “Ticket to Ride." Dus initial half concludes with “Yesterday," one of their most widely heard songs. The second CD covers highlights from Beatles' albums Beatles are back! Help! through Revolver, like “Day Tripper," “Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)," “In My Life," and “Eleanor Rigby.” These songs sprung forth from an era when the Beaties began experimenting with psychedelic and transcendental mediation. Die songwriting team of John This week at tamo's... Lennon and Paul McCartney produced a volume of wondrous music, and The Beatles/1962- 1966 is a testament to this. Listening to it reveals the band’s transformation from pop quartet to the greatest group of musicians ever. Pag*
