“Hellraiser:” watch
out for the
shadows
by Vince Smith
CdltglaMS^ff
Stephen King called Clive
Barker “the new master” of
horror. With good reason too-
Barker’s first two “Hellraiser”
movies are, simply put, two of
the most terrifying stories ever
put on film.
And now, the third movie
unleashes the demon, Pinhead,
once again- this time to wreak
havoc on the world, unless he
can be stopped.
As with all the “Hellraiser”
flicks, someone “discovers”
Pinhead (Doug Bradley). This
time it's JP Morgan (Bryan
Garthwaite), the owner of a teen

nightclub, and his off-on
girlfriend Terri (Paula Marshall)
who find a plaster figure made
up of distorted faces and the like.
One night in the town
hospital, TV reporter Joey
Carmichael (Terry Farrell of
“Deep space 9” fame) witnesses
a young man who is literally
pulled apart by chains seeming
to grow out of his body.
After seeing the sight, Joey
teams up with Terri to discover
the cause behind the teen’s death.
They’re drawn into a web of
mystery which ends with
Pinhead being released onto
Earth. Can he be stopped?

installment of “Hellraiser,”
Clive Barker has combined hell
sent terror with gore and
mayhem to create a must for all
true horror fans.
I won’t give too much away,
but this is the only horror movie
I’ve ever seen where at least two
hundred people die horribly in
one scene alone. And of course,
Pinhead and his fellow cenogites
are as spooky as ever.
To close, Halloween may be
gone, but it’s still a good time
for watching horror flicks. I
highly recommend this one for
your viewing list. If you’re not
afraid of shadows before you
watch it, well, heh, heh, heh

‘Flesh and
Bone:” where’s
the beef?
by Jen Toubakaris

A plot. This is an important
ingredient of a story. Ninety
nine percent of the time the plot
pops up either at the beginning,
or at the latest, the middle of a
story.
“Flesh and Bone,” the new
movie starring Dennis Quaid,
Meg Ryan, and James Caan, is
an exception. I found myself
wondering what the plot was up
until the last half hour of the
movie. And even then I was
still confused!
The movie starts with an
episode in a farmhouse. Quaid,
who plays Arlis Sweeny, helps
his father, Roy, played by Caan,
perform a robbery. The farmer
wakes up and Roy ends up
shooting him, his wife and their
son. The family’s baby daughter
is the only life spared.
Jump ahead thirty years. Arlis
is a vending machine owner who
meets Kay, played by Meg
Ryan. She’s a stripper who’s
supposed to jump out of a cake
at a bar. The problem is that

Harry

The other night I decided to
rent a movie.
I went through the typical
decision-making process while
scanning the various selections
in the aisles of Blockbuster
Video.
I ended up in the comedy
section, as 1 felt the need for a
funny movie to lift my spirits
and make me laugh.
Deciding upon the movie,
“When Harry Met Sally”
starring Meg Ryan and Billy
Crystal, I was off to my
apartment for a night of movie
watching.
I had seen it in a few years
ago, and I did remember a few
select scenes (especially the
one in the restaurant), but I
was perfectly content with the
movie again.
Harry and Sally experience a
unique relationship, but one
that many of us could run into
any day now.
Kay was hitting the Jack
Daniel’s too much. She pops
out of the cake and passes out.
Fate has it that Arlis ends up
taking care of her.
Surprise! The inevitable
happens...Arlis and Kay hook
up. Arlis tells Kay, “I think
your hands are a couple of beers
past steady.” It obviously
doesn’t bother him too much
because they end up sleeping
together.
Roy shows up and starts
trouble with Arlis. “Don’t want
to kid yourself Junior, we’re
flesh and bone,” Roy tells Arlis.
Arlis wants nothing to do with
Roy.
I consider Quaid, Ryan, and
Caan excellent actors. The
acting wasn’t the problem with
this movie. It was the plot, or
should I say what was lacking of
it?
Don’t waste your time (or
money) on this movie. It’s not
worth it. And if you’re worried
that I gave away too much of the
story, I didn’t. You’ll still leave
the theater wondering what was
going on.
Out
Sally"
They each have feelings for
one another but keep them
concealed, since love is a
touchy topic, especially when
it grows between two best
friends.
Sally and Harry don’t really
know how to handle their
relationship. They are “best
buddies” and even try to set
each other up with blind dates;
bear in mind they really don’t
want to go out with other
people.
It is obvious that Sally is
falling in love with Harry and
visa-versa; they’re just denying
themselves the truth.
The movie made me laugh,
and it made me cry. It
provoked me to wonder about
my own personal life.
I hope that you watch “When
Harry Met Sally” and
remember that anything is
possible, only if you’re not
afraid to show your true
feelings, and not afraid to open
your heart to true love.
