Reiner says 'Bye Bye , to love by Karen Steele Collegian stag' "Bye Bye, Love," directed by Sam Weisman, stars Paul Riser, Randy Quaid, and Matthew Modine as three divorced fathers who have weekend custody of their kids. Donny (Paul Reiser) has a 14- year-old daughter who he has trouble communicating with. To make the matter worse, he is still in love with his ex-wife. Vic (Randy Quaid) also has a teenage daughter, a young son and a toddler. Unlike Donny, he hates his ex-wife. He shows his resentment by referring to her car as the "child-support mobile." Dave (Matthew Modine) is the father of two little children and has four girlfriends; needless to say, Hoffman fights monkey in virus 'Outbreak' by Claudette Mokwa Cagiais Stqf Viruses—those nasty creatures that are a billionth the size of humans, yet they kill with a vengence--is the basis for "Oudeak."

"Bye Bye, Love" depicts families in the 90s by demonstrating the sad truth that divorce is now just as common as marriage. Paul Reiser's same "Mad About You" humor, however, keeps the film light and comical while at the same time touching on an important issue.

The problem escalates when a small town with a population of 2500 becomes infected in a matter of a few days. With the help of the Colonel's assistants (including his ex-wife and a newly assigned lieutenant), the race is on to find the host-monkey so that the virus can be controlled. "Outbreak" was fascinating and morbid all at once. The effects of the virus rashes, hemorrhages in the eye, and the deterioration of the internal organs are shown. The movie was technical only to a degree as needed. In other words, it was not difficult to understand. It also left me disunited. Bemuse this movie was based upon several existing viruses (such as labola and AIDS), the question of "What it?" is raised and left to be answenxl or solved. rtainment get what they want -- often forgetting about what the children may need or want. Parents don't always stop to think about what it is like to go back and forth from parent to parent, while half the time living out of a duffel bag. Although the movie has a sincere moral, you will get caught up in the humor of it all as Vic goes on a blind date from hell, Dave is put on the spot as three women show tip at his house in one night, and Donny almost sleeps with Dave's ex-wife. The film looks into the minds of the fathers and the dilemmas they face on their quality weekends with the kids. This movie is currently showing at Cinema 4 at 15th and Pittsburgh. Sweaty Nipples to appear at State St. Tavern by R. Carl Campbell 111 Collegian Staff It has been quite some time since I listened to really good heavy metal. Not that I was on a search to quench a passion for it, I just never bothered looking since the lead singer from Anthrax left. Recently, I'm talking about the last few years, metal is seemingly taking a rebound from its decline in the early nineties. The problem is defining metal in contemporary music lingo. It is extremely difficult to distinguish between metal and the alter native/punk/hard-core scene that is noshing into the musical mainstream. Okay, now for my point in this article, Sweaty Nipples, a band rooted in Portland, Oregon does not seem to fit into a e category that six years ago it might have been labeled in. Instead, to define its genre I have to use a lot of hyphens. Sweaty Nipples is throbbing, borderline industrial-metal fused with hard core tendencies and a complete disregard for the rules. See how difficult this is? Sweaty Nipples first full length compact disc, "Bug Harvest," hit the market in late 1994. Although they are not yet plagued by the industry bug, they have gained recoimition fcttheir energy and often boistethus live performances. (They were arrested three years ago inciting a riot at Bumber wherever the hell that is.) they are presently promoti their album all over the country The first track on " Harvest," "Demon Juice" is bands first release. It has seen (and heard) on MTV's Headbanger's Ball and on Beavis and Butthead ( a bh, huhhh, this song kick's ass!) I agree. "Demon Juice," has a very Faith No More-ish energy to it. It mingles industrial vocals to a (cliche) thrashing guitar. The west coast scene is written all over this band. As I said, they're from Portland, but the Seattle influence has definitely sifted into their songs. Another band that comes to mind is Soundgarden, even the lead singer, Scott Heard, mimicks Chris Connelly. My absolute favorite track is "Tequila." This song has all the purity of punk from the late seventies and early-eighties. It's a great party song because it's about drinking too much and then saying you're never going to drink again. (Sounds familiar to me, especially after last Saturday.) Sweaty Nipples will be performing at the State Street Tavern on Friday night. I definitely recommend seeing this band or getting a hold of this album, because (without profanities) it's good. Page 7
