Just as the pre-Thanksgiving
depression sets in and you're
stumped at what to do to fill your
valuable time (besides study that
is!!) here's another batch of
videos you might have missed at
the video store.

David Lynch directed this film
and fans of Twin Peaks or Blue
Velvet will not be disappointed.
It has the same odd scenes and
characters that make the audience
wonder what the heck is
happening.
The film tells the story of
Saylor and Lulu and the troubles
these two go through to try to
lead a happy, but abnormal life.
Saylor is just out of jail for
killing an attacker in self defense.
Lulu's mother is against the
relationship her daughter is in, so
she puts a contract out on
Saylor's head. Meanwhile our
happy couple is breaking parole
to head for California and settle
down.
The conversations between
Saylor and Lulu are shallow and
slightly meaningless, like banter
between children. The story of
the film isn't as important as the
sights and sounds you see when
you watch it.

This film film is a cross between
Silence of the Lambs and a three

noted for the film A Fish Called
Wanda, stars in this comedy
along with Susan Sarandon,

Kline's character has a knack
for catching serial killers and is
now faced with his toughest case
yet. Someone has been strangling
women around the city every
month, and Kline is out to stop
him before he strikes again.
This film doesn't sound like a
comedy, but Kline pulls it off in
a hilarious fashion.

What would you do if you
were still in high school, didn't
have any friends but had an
awesome short wave radio set-up?
Well obviously you'd get on the
air every night, playing albums
with warning labels on the cover
and giving the answers to life to
all your listeners.
Christian Slater is the person
in question in this film. Slater is
the kind of actor that is enjoyable
to watch in any role (except his
part in Gleaming the Cube). He
does a fine job in this film
coming across as a high school
nobody who just moves into
town.
His parents buy him a short
wave radio to talk to his friends
at home and instead he uses it for

a pirate radio station.
He talks about all the things
that bother him in school while
playing the kinds of songs you
don't hear on the top 40 count
down. Things go fine until his
listeners start vandalizing the
school and one of them kills
himself.
Then the FCC gets involved,
and Slater doesn't know if he
should continue his radio pirating
or cover his own butt
This film is fairly believable
and has a great soundtrack. After
watching it you'll probably want
to run to the local Radio Shack
to buy radio parts.

Anyway, Charlie Sheen stars
in this film with Martin Sheen
and Larry Fishburne. Sheen
(Charlie) plays Private Bean, a
private in the army who wants to
get out. One drunken night Bean
tears up a bar and gets put in the
stockade.
Bean is a loner with a chip on
his shoulder and when he finds

in the stockade, he is uptight and
acts like he has something to
prove.
Bean soon learns that he is no
better than his fellow prisoners
and sets about making friends.
Martin Sheen has an extreme
dislike for Bean and takes it out
on all the prisoners. What
follows is an intense baffle of
loyalty for Bean between the
army and the prisoners. This is
an entertaining film that does
more than make you laugh. Ii
teaches you something about
loyalty and honor.

This classical Disney film
celebrates its fiftieth anniversary
this year and is an excellent film.
Disney artists listened to great
works of classical music as

Orchestra under the direction of
Leopold Stokowski and let their
imaginations run wild in the
cartoons they created.

arc entertained by the narrator and
the orchestra. The art in this film
is breathtaking and the
entertainment value of it is even
more awe inspiring. The only
problem with this film is it
seems too long for its own good
and it is hard to enjoy in one
sitting.
The film either needs an
intermission or this reviewer
needs a longer attention span. It
is a classic and only available in
its original form for a limited
time, so run out and grab a copy
of it... Now!!!

Say you're Demi Moore and
your best friend constantly fights
with her husband. One particular
fight leads to the killing of her
husband and she asks you to help
her get rid of the body and create
a cover-up for her. That would
put you right in the middle of
this film starring Bruce Willis as
the cadaver in question.
The film opens with Moore at
the police station getting
questioned and proceeds along as
she tells her story to the police.
As the movie rolls along and the
story gets deeper and deeper we
begin to wonder exactly what
happened. How much of the story
is true and how much is a cover
to protect the real killer.
Demi Moore delivers an
excellent performance in this film
along with Willis and the rest of
the supporting cast. It is a great
film made in a classic Hitchcock
style. It's the kind of film that
you will make you not want to
marry Demi Moore.
