['his holiday season was a good one for
lit because I got to see movies. Any time
can see a movie, it's a treat. Here's what
I saw over Christmas break.

decides to set up shop there and make a

The Dicksier's album reviews are based
un a five "D" scale.
PERVERSE
JESUS JONES
What can I say to do this album
ustice? Listen to it! A racier style of the
ones' techno-oriented pop powers
erverse. This album will bring Jesus the
success they so desperately desire in the
States. "Zeros & Ones," "The Devil in
ou," "Magazine," "Yellow Brown," "The
Right 'Decision" and "Spiral" stand out as
the best, but it is a sound album all
around. The only setback is overplay on
commercial radio. But then again success

every time someone mentions Dying
Young I saw Terms of Endearment , and
this is definitely no Terms of Endearment.
Nolte's Italian accent is amusing--for
about 10 minutes. Susan Sarandon gets
rougher with each picture. ** *

to the screen to overact once more. This
time he plays a blind war veteran with an

BONES
BIM SKALA BIM
The sound isn't quite original, but it is
refreshing. Bim Skala Bim's got that
Madness-Hooters kind of sound working
there and have been making waves with
Bones all over the country. Not bad for
seven gents from Massachusetts. Check
out "Bones," "Wandering Soul," "At
Wo's" and a cover of Pink Floyd's "Brain
Damage" that is truly unique! You won't
hear any of this above 93 FM on the
radio, so a purchase is necessary. But it is

attitude. Since he's blind, he needs
someone to watch over him. Enter Chris
0' Donnell. He plays a student looking for
something to do over Thanksgiving break.
He winds up looking after Frank (Pacino).
Frank has a plan for Thanksgiving that
Charles--don't call me Chuckie--doesn't
know. He intends to go to New York, eat
the best food, love the best women (i.e.
HOOKERS), sleep at the best hotel--then
kill himself. Pacino is his usual self--loud
and definitely commanding--but it is
O'Donnell who gives the better
performance. Anyone can spit when he
talks. A good film but too long (2 and 1/2
hours)

A Few Good Men—By far the best film
of 1992. With the cast involved, how
could it not be: Tom Cruise, Jack
worth it

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE
WOW!!! Get ready for a verbal assault
of everything you may hold sacred. Rage
is an attack on the "machine" of society
and I f***ing love it. Powerful guitar and
percussion combine with angst-filled
lyrics to form a musical anarchy that will
overload your senses. The message of
Rage is clear and simple: our society is
f***ed up and if you're not part of the
solution, you are definitely part of the
problem. If we don't take action now,
we'll settle for nothing later! Music for
thought, think about it! DDDDD
Comedian leaves them laughing
at Hideaway's Cabaret '93 opener
Cabaret '93 started its string of events
by opening Harrisburg Hideaway to
comedian Don Reed. On Jan. 21, the
Dining Commons was again transformed
into the well-known Harrisburg Hideaway.
Fifteen students, volunteers from
Resident Student Council, Residence Life,
WPSH and Student Activities, set up for
the evening.
A stage with blinding lights and a
blaring sound system was placed in the
center of the room for Reed. Tables were
topped with baskets of chips and pretzels.

Nicholson, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon,
and Kiefer (where's Julia?) Sutherland.
Cruise is once again in familiar position
in the movies--the military. He is a
hotshot lawyer prosecuting a colonel
played by Nicholson. They are
investigating possibility of a "code red"--
the order of a superior officer to
"discipline" a soldier. This one went too
far--the private was murdered. Rob Reiner
directs this film that keeps your attention
from beginning to end. Cruise is his usual
cocky character, but he's good. Moore is
assertive and also good. Damn it...
everyone was good--except for Nicholson.
He was GREAT! He is only in about three
scenes, but each one he's in, he owns. An
Oscar nomination is a lock. This film will
receive many nominations. ****

MILLION SELLER
THE POOH STICKS
What, you never heard of the Pooh
Sticks? You're kidding, right? Million is
their second U.S. release and these cats are
big in Europe and the U.K. So wh y
haven't you heard of them? Because
commercial radio sucks! You know,
formats and lists. At any rate, Million
surprises me. I mean, their first effort was
alright--it had a couple of good songs--but
Million features a whole new sound for
the Sticks. The band is tighter now, both
the lyrics and vocals. "Let The Good
Times Roll," "The World Is Turning On,"
"Sugar Baby" and "Susan Sleepwalking"
are destined for college radio airplay.
and another was created by Food Services
for the event.
Approximately 175 students crowded the
Harrisburg Hideaway to see the comedian.
Reed put on a spectacular performance,
interpreting people's hair styles with sound
effects and imitating celebrities.
Reed is about to break into the big
time by starting his own television series
"Reed 2 Reed" which co-stars his wife. For
years he has been doing audience warm-ups
for Bill Cosby and Roseanne Arnold. Penn
State Harrisburg viewed Reed at a new
high point in his ascending career.
Some students commented that Reed
was by far the best comedian Penn State
Harrisburg has seen in a long time.
