PAGE 8 PRESSREPUBLICAN ENTERTAINMENT SATURDAYS NOVEMBERS 1991 r Reel-to-reel roundup Strange Days\: This is proba- bly the last movie that should run nearly two and a half hours But even the thematically heavy-handed, visually sledge- hammering direction of Kathryn Bigelow, queen of macho movie mayhem, can't entirely negate a fascinating premise. On the eve of the next millennium, reality and Virtual Reality collide in a moral wasteland of artificially in- tensified experience black- marketed to the point of max- imum overdrive. Some good scenes, but often muddled and bombastic. **Vi \The Brothers McMullen\: A critics' favorite for young writer- director-star Edward Burns, who won top honors at this year's Sundance Film Festival with this, his first feature, about the lives and loves of a trio of Irish- American siblings. Burns is be- ing hailed in some circles as the new Woody.Allen for his serio- comic take on Irish-Catholic guilt stemming from inspiration by Allen poking fun at his own Jewish-intellectual angst. I en- joyed it as well. *** \The Indian in the Cupboard\: A nice little companion piece to \Roan Inish,\ though not quite in the same league: Still, any family ARTS BRIEFS film that emphasizes the wonder of storytelling and galvanizing the imagination — in this era of the spiritual paralysis of video gaming — simply must be seen. Just the type of picture you'd ex- pect Frank Oz, of \Sesame Street\ fame, to make, and he deserves credit for contributing to the daunting task of trying to rescue innocence from cyber- lethargized childhood. *** \Babe\: And this little piggy oinked all the way to the bank. Even if you haven't seen the movie, you've seen the trailer, the tastiest little appetizer to • precede a main feature in ages. And the movie.just about lives up to it. Oh, of course, picky me would have made it a mite dif- ferently, but that can't detract from a healthy recommendation. **** - perfect **v* — very good ** — mediocre * — poor BOMB Chamber concerts PLATTSBURGH - The SU- NY Pittsburgh music faculty presents concerts featuring small •ensembles in the Recital Hall of Hawkins Hall Thursday, Nov. 9, at 8 p.m. and Friday, Nov. 10, at 4:30 p.m. The Flute Ensemble, Sinfonia, Saxophone Ensemble and Cardi- nal stringers perform Thursday.

Free Hors D'oeuvre Reduced Drink Prices Invite You To The Water's Edge 'She Fought Alone' TV movie mixes message with sex IvGAILPEMNINOTON St. Louis Post-Dispatch For. the second time this season, NBC uses a higfenjtfr^ed \issue\ to cloak a movie' loaded with violence and, in this ca§<?, sex. In last month's \Fight for Justice,\ the i issue of victims' rights became an excuse to show women being assaulted, graphi- cally and at length. And in Monday night's \She Fought Alone,\ the issue of sex- ual harassment in high school is an excuse to show teenage girls in their underwear, with one Ex- plicit sex scene, one terrifying rape and several very violent fights. Ironically, the same NBC press release that bills the movie ' as \a compelling and important story that will 'serve to increase the awareness in all age groups of a growing and dangerous dilemma\ also notes that it car- ries a parental advisory. The drama, \suggested by ac- tual cases,\ begins as pretty Caitlin (Tiffani-Amber Thiessen of \Beverly Hills 90210\) is initi : ated into her high school's iifi crowd at a party with a \Cay* ne\-style prom takeoff, and (almost) skinny-dipping. CaitUn. in wet and extremely, erotic undies, makes h$ feel:mg§ clear to Ethan (Brian Austin. Green, Thiessen's boyfriend an<| until recently real-life sweetie). They promptly make love, in detail. •\ -; But Ethan's best friend, Jape (David Upper, who was on \Fuji House\)* is also interested hi Caitlin. And when she proves reluctant to be passed around, he follows her home and rapes her., as. her little sister listens. (Al| this, in fact the whole movie, is set to the music of a group called Pray for Rain.) . * When Caitlin tells, the wrath of the in-crowd falls on her; \Caitlin is a ...\ (bad word) is written not only on the bathroom walls but above the doorway tp the high school. Principal and administrators take a \boys will be boys\ stance., forcing Caitlin to file suit. Thiessen turns out to be quite; a good actress, with a luminous quality that makes her stand out; from the pack of teen stars.
