seen in BRUNOS taking down
phone numbers
And don't forget Janet.
She's that sweet and beautiful

masterful hands they become
more than just movie characters,
they become real. They become
our freinds, our neighbors, our
roomates and our enemies. They
become us.
Crowe started his career
early, at age 15, writing for
Rolling Stone magazine. At 23
he returned to high school to do
research for a book which would
eventualy become Fast Times at
Ridgemont High. He later wrote
the screenplay for the movie
version of Fast Times.
It was this film that
introduced our (then) junior high
generation to High School. It
showed us the stoners and the
dweebs, the princesses and the
pigs that would later become our
freinds. What made it great was
it wasn't just about High School
it was about people in High
School, having fun and making

mistakes that some of us would
soon make.
Then, just at the time
we were graduating, he gave us
...Say Anything (his directional
debut)-THE movie about
graduating High School and
moving on in life. It was fresh
and funny and the best movie of
the year. Crowe put his heart and
soul in it (and as if that wasn't
enough, he also put Eric Stoltz
running around in a giant rooster
outfit at a party.)
Now we're in our
twenties, and he gives us
Singles. It's far better than Fast
Times, almost as good as ...Say
Anything and much more
enjoyable than anything I've seen
all year.
It's moving, funny,
sentimental (without being
sappy), unpredictable and (most
of all) realistic.

I really don't have to tell
you any plot because to watch
this movie is to watch parts of
your own life played out on the
big screen. From the
nervousness of picking up
someone in a club to the insanity
of picking up a pregnancy test at
the drug-store, we've all
experienced things like this, and
it's nice to know that we're not
the only ones.
The acting is good all
around (especially Scott, who
adds suspense to the film by
actually daring to survive an
entire movie), and Crowe
consistently keeps us interested
by sprinkling the film with small
cameos from famous celebcrtics
like Tom Skerritt, Perter Horton,
Tim Burton (Batman Director) ,
Eric Stoltz (degraded by Crowe
again-this time playing a
talkative mime) and Seattle
sensations Chris Cornell and
Eddie Vedder (as Citizen Dick's
drummer).
And, speaking of
Seattle, Crowe also includes
music and/or concert appearances
by noted Seattlites like Pearl
Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in
Chains and Mother Love Bone
(sorry, no Nirvana).
With this, Cameron
Crowe has firmly and finally
established himself as the vioce
for our generation, a generation
that (at 30) he isn't even a
member of.
So, go see Singles. See
for the fun of it, see it for the
great Seattle-grunge-rock music,
see it to get lucky, just see it.
Singles is about life, the only
reason not to go is if you don't
have one.
