Weekend films By LEAH ROZEN Collegian Staff Writer "Freebie and the Bean"— James Caan and Alan Arkin star in this car-crazy movie. Most of the film is made up of auto chases which are supposed to be funny. Wait until it comes to the dorms, where you can see it cheap. The Cathaum "Last Tango in Paris" Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider in a film some consider to be a masterpiece and others argue is simply a lot of hooey. We side with the latter, although Brando does have a very effective monologue. If you are going for the X-rating, don't be fooled. This is not por nography of the Georgina Spelvin-Harry Reems variety. The State -Mahogany" The most old-fashioned movie we have seen in years. Utter rags-to-riches trash but ever so much fun. Diana Ross is great; she can do no wrong. Billy Dee Williams is extremely handsome. Cinema One "The Other Side of the Mountain" Directed with restraint by Larry Peerce, this inspiring movie tells the true story of skier Jill Kinmont who was paralyzed from the neck down in a skiing accident. She went on to become a school teacher. The film avoids excessive sugariness and is really quite nice. Marilyn Basset and Beau Bridges star. The Movies "Rooster Cogburn (and the Lady)" John Wayne and Katharine Hepburn team together for this return to Wayne's drinking law man character from "True Grit." We haven't seen it yet, but most of the reviews say it's kind of fun. Cinema Two "Sexteen" Rated X. We haven't seen this one either but Al Goldstein (Screw Magazine) liked it, for what that's worth. The Screening Room "Three Days of the Condor" Robert Redford and Fay Dunaway star in this Sydney Pollock spy film. The CIA are the 'Nashville' star releases album WELCOME. By Ronee Blakley. Warner Brothers Records. BS 2890. $5.98 list price. Ronee Blakley, who turned in an extremely affecting performance as country singer Barbara Jean in the film "Nashville," has made a new album called "Welcome." Recorded in Muscle Shoals this summer, "Welcome" is actually Blakley's second album. The first, which sounded as though it was heavily influenced by Joni Mitchell, came out in 1972 but went nowhere. "Welcome" deserves to do better. For one thing, people new know who Ronee Blakley is. It would be very difficult to have seen "Nashville" and SAVE $750.80....

"Welcome," however, is not a country album, and Blakley is not a country singer, contrary to the im pression many viewers of "Nashville" received. She is a distinctive and valuable addition to the growing ranks of intelligent, amusing and occasionally brash women who are recording albums of their own music. In other words, Ronee Blakley is not a follower of the I' m-j us t-a-fra gi le- t t le-girl school advocated by Olivia Newton-John. "Welcome" is an album of carefully worded, emotion ally strong songs that sound like vaguely country-tinged folk-rock. It's the voice of an in dependent woman, one who sings "She can't find the kind of man who doesn't mind If she knows bettnr." Possibly the song which best captures the album's Read The Collegian News from the world, nation and state _ ,/, , 1 iiiLYlrd / bad guys here, a timely twist. Mildly entertaining. The Garden "Young Frankenstein" Mel Brooks' version of the horror film. A great Madeleine Kahn helped by lots of other talented actors makes this an amusing movie. "American Graffiti" George Lucas' film about one night in the lives of a group of California teenagers in the early '6os. Well-done and tight. Haskell Wexler is responsible for the good-looking night-time photography. One complaint: Why aren't we told what happens to the women in the end? Redifer Room D "Day of the Dolphin" George C. Scott stars in this Mike Nichols film. It was released last year and was an over whelming flop. It is rather silly, all about a scientist and his dolphin friends. 102 Forum "Deep Throat" Linda Lovelace learns about love and life Rated X Waring Lounge "Frankenstein" Andy Warhol's version of the classic monster tale. Paul Morrisey directed the mostly European cast and it is very bloody, featuring lots of dripping internal organs and other disgusting stuff. Rated X. 10 Sparks "The Mad Adventures of 'Rabbi' Jacob" French corned), which relies heavily on slapstick for its laughs. 119 Osmond "S.P.Y.S." This movie attempts to cash in on memories of the superior "MASH." Elliot Gould and Donald Sutherland are together again, but the movie fizzles. Pollock Rec Room "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot" Jeff Bridges, an extremely good actor, and Clint Eastwood, who is not, star in this mild crime film. Okay. 105 Forum "The Twelve Chairs" Mel Brooks' secold feature film and a financial flop. The handsome Frank Langella, Ron Moody and Dom DeLuise play three Russians in search of a fortune concealed in a chair cushion. It's a thin plot, and so is the comedy. 117 Osmond pervasive sense of in dependence is the opening song on side two, "Nobody's Bride." Blakley sings, "She don't mind sitting tough in the saddle That's how she learned to ride And, Lord, she loves her tenderness But her bitterness won't be denied." Although the songs Blakley sings show a woman carefully record review guarding her freedom, they also reflect a woman who has realized that living alone is not the always the answer. In "Welcome," the song which closes the album, she cautions her lover, "And when I sharpen my edge against you Please don't forget to forgive me Cause I'm walking the line that I used to You're new to the tenderness in me." My favorite song on the album is the one which is the most irreverent. Turning the tables on all of the classic male rock songs about all of those delectable younger girls, Blakley delights in a relationship with a "Young Man." Just as the Lovin' Spoonful in "Younger Girl" and Gary Puckett in "Young Girl" warned the young things to be careful, so Blakley tries to set a handsome younger man straight. "My friend, I don't want to pretend, That I love you more than I do Please say it's all right and I'll see you tonight When you get home from school," she sings. "Welcome" also includes two of the best songs from "Nashville": "Tapedeck in his Tractor" and "My Idaho Home." "Welcome" is a good album and one that lives up to its title. L. Rozen
