"Starting Over” “Alan J. Pakula’s comedy
about a Boston writer's search for com
panionship after divorce . . . Is.different for two
reasons. First, It is about a man. Second, that
man Is played by Burt Reynolds. (The-film)
wanders Into territory heretofore unvisited by
Reynolds, and allows him to give his most In
telligent comic performance ever." The surprise
is that Candice Bergen as his ex-wife,
characteristically a ludicrous actress, "iurns in a
funny performance, too. She's one of the few
actress Reynolds could have trouble forgetting."
(Zarroll). At 2:30, 7:30 and daily, and 2,
3:45, 5:30, 7:30 and 9:30 weekends. At the

'.‘Damien: Omen II” This sequel includes
none of the shocks of the first film, but just as
much'gore. William Holden and Lee Grant act as
perplexed as Gregory Peck and Lee Remlck did
in the first one, with a teenage Antichrist to
contend with. The deaths are telegraphed ahead
of time, leaving no room for suspense. At 7, 9
and 11 tomorrow and Saturday nights, and at 7
and 9 Sunday tonight, Findlay Rec Room.

Monroe. At 7, 9 and 11 tomorrow night in
Pollock Rec Room, and the same times Saturday
and Sunday nights In Osmond Lab.
“The Outlaw Josey Wales” Clint East
wood stars In the title role as a farmer turned

than any of his others. At 7:30 and 10 tomorrow
through Sunday nights, 105 Forum.

of dopeheads, Cheech-and Chong. At. 7:15, 9

name, the true story of a once active girl who
suffered a broken neck in a tragic diving ac
cident, leaving her a quadrapleglo. The film
follows Jonl through her struggles to learn to
overcome her disabilities with the help of her

Flick. Starts tomorrow. Last showing tonight of
"The Amltyvllle Horror."
"Monty Python’s Life of Brian” This film
"is not the uproar the English comedy troupe’s
'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' was, nor Is It
the uproar that various religious groups have
been making it." But "it Is well worth seeing . , .
if nothing else, see the film, feel a little guilty and
say a few Hall Grouchos." (Van Dine). At 7 and
9:45, with 2 p.m. matinee weekends. At the
State.
“.. .And Justice for All” “A black
humored attack on one very inportant belief: the
cushioning thought that the courtroom, In order
to battle a corrupt society, must be the an
tethesls of corruption, a lily-pure bastion of
respectability." This film "tells U 3 It’s a crock."
Pleasantly, however, "Pacino displays outright
the comic flair we glimpsed In 'Dog Day Af
ternoon.' ” (Ward). At 7:15 and 9:30 dally, and
2:30 matinees Friday and Sunday.At the Gar
den.
"Apocalypse Now” Francis Coppola’s war
epic "emerges as some kind of ferocious and
stunning visual portrait. The beauty of Its Imagery
is the resplendence of its madness, Its
bedazzling candesence setting fire to the very
blindness which afflicts these soldiers of war.
But the brilliant madness with which this mon
strously talented artist directed 'The Godfather' I
and II comes only. In moments In this film, with
Coppola's noble Intent not being whole in the
end." (Younken) The gorgeous cinematography
by Vittorio Storaro makes this film well worth
seeing.. At 8 Monday through Thursday, and at
6:30 and 9:20 friday through Sunday, with
matinees at 2:30 Thursday through Sunday. At
the Movies.
“Running” “The Idea here was to take the
money-making 'underdog' formula of 'Rocky' and
redo it in a different sport. (But) after a while all
the camera tracks of (Michael) Douglas pounding
along In his Pumas become extra padding. Given
time and a lot more care, 'Running' could have
been a good movie. But it’s ultimately left In the
starting blocks." (Ward). Starts tomorrow at
7:15 and 9:30, with Friday.matinee at 2:30. At,
the Screening Room. Last showing tonight of

and was on his way to becoming another
victim of the ghetto. “I never dreamed
of college,” he said, that is until two high
school art instructors got hold of him and
encouraged him to realize his talents.
profile
Wilder quickly became an ac
complished high school artist, but his old
gang buddies weren’t very enthusiastic
about the change. “I lost all my friends
and became a loner,” Wilder said.
That was the only drawback, though,
and after some of his work was exhibited
in his high school, Wilder “almost in
stantly became recognized.” The
positive feedback he was receiving
became fuel for his creative efforts.
When a senior he was granted a four
year scholarship, but, unfortunately, his
SAT scores were too low and the
scholarship was withdrawn.
After a stint in the Nhvy and a few
defying the odds with realistic art
commercial art jobs, Wilder came to
Penn State. It was here he.encountered
the second obstacle of his career.' ‘‘l "
came into a lot of opposition here,” he
said, mostly from professors who were
telling him that abstract art is the ac
ceptable form, not realism. Wilder stuck
to his guns, though, and with the help of
professor Richard Mayhew, who
specializes in painting, has managed to
make a name' for' himself in the
University art department.
Wilder’s emphasis in ’ his work is
people and Christianity. He is black and
he is an artist, but he does not paint
exclusively African pieces. “I paint just
people. They just happen to be black or
white,” he said: Wilder’s orientation is
definitely black because of his Afro-
American background. Yet he paints
faces and expressions, not racial origins.
But beyond those faces Wilder has
found something deeper: through
Christianity he’s become an expressive
and perceptive person. And it’s these
qualities that have made Wilder the fine
artist he is today.
