Drag dad leads

"Mrs. Doubtfire"
by Scott Moore
Cal/seam She
Looking for a hilarious
experience? Something that will
make you laugh so hard that you
will be gasping for air?
Something that will give you
the chills and make your skin
crawl?
For an experience like this, try
the Lorena Bobbin Trial. If
you're looking for a great
movie, drive to the Mil'creek
Mall and check out "Mrs.
Doubdire."
This story revolves around
Robin Williams ("Toys" and
"Hook") who is a married man
who suddenly finds himself
single.
Williams loves his three
children but when the court
decides to give his wife, Sally
Field, custody he does what any

red blooded American man would
do. He dresses drag and becomes
their housekeeper.
This movie is the surprise hit
of the new year with laughter
around every bend. Williams
reaches new heights in comedy
and has finally gotten back to
the same form since he first hit
the airwaves doing "Mork and
Mindy."
Sally Field plays a new type
of character as a typical, middle
age, career orientated women
instead of her usual "Gidget-like"
persona. There is also a pleasant
display of acting done by Pierce
Brosnan.
All in all, Mrs. Doubtfire is a
great dose of comic relief and a
must-see for all. But not until
the Tonya Harding conspiracy is
done. We wouldn't want to
miss that would we?

Alcohol, gambling, and action: what else
can you ask for in "Tombstone?"
by Je
Collegian Ske n Toubakaris
Cowboys and the
Wild West. This isn't
exactly my idea of a
good movie. But after
seeing "Tombstone". I
changed my mind.
The Civil War is
over and there is a
mad rush to the
frontier. It holds
everything: fortune,
excitement, and a new
life.
Wyatt Earp, played
by Kurt Russell, is a
retired sheriff looking
to strike it rich in the
silver-rich town of
Tombstone, a
settlement dominaicd
by infamous
cowboys.
Dana Dclany plays
Josephine, the
beautiful actress that
wins Earp's heart.
She tells him, "I like
men and I want to
have fun. If that
doesn't make me a
lady, then I guess I'm
not one." Earp's
response,"You
definitely ARE a
lady!"
It can't be denied
though that Val
Kilmer makes the
movie. Playing Doc
Holiday, he is a
gambler with a quick
draw and an undying
thirst for alcohol.
One night he fights
a cowboy while in a
drunken stupor. The
cowboy says Holiday
is seeing double and
can't fight.
Holiday replies, "I
have two guns, one
for each or ya!" Then
he kills the cowboy.
The cowboys begin
to take over the town
and Earp's brother was
shot one night. Earp
vows revenge. He
warns, "You tell 'em
I'm comin' and hell's
comin' with me!"
"Tombstone" is
packed with action and
clever lines. The
actors perform well,
and there's even a
cameo by the great
Charlton Heston.
"Tombstone" is
probably one of the
best westerns in years,
and you can take that
to your grave.

Alice in
Chains
isn't just
grunge
anymore
by Scott Moore
Coflegion Stud
Seattle. Grundge. Flannel.
Sick yet? Many of you
understandably are. The whole
"Seattle thing" has been beaten
to death and then some. It's not
new or hip anymore. Hey, even
Bruno's is having "Grunge Nite"
this weekend.
Still, don't let a Seattle
backlash prevent you from
picking up Alice in Chains' new
EP, Jar of Flies.
This is the second EP from
the band, the first being 1992's
exceptional Sap. Jar of Flies,
however, builds upon the ground
that Sap broke and presses on for
new frontiers.
There is something for
everyone on this seven song
release. Each track has a distinct
feel, unique in itself.
There are moody,
contemplative dirges such as
"Rotten Apple" alongside upbeat
pop songs like "No Excuses."
Remember how the
instrumentals on albums are
always boring? Well, forget
that! "Whale and Wasp," though
missing the magnificent vocals
of Layne Staley and Jerry
Cantrell, is a highlight.
I can't say enough good things
about Jar of Flies. It's been in
constant rotation in my CD
player since its release last
Tuesday. And best of all: not
one track could even remotely be
described as "gunge."
