Pssst...Hi iu wanna see a really stoopid flick? If you do then you just gotta check out Run. Run . Hollywood Pictures Starring: Patrick Dempsey reviewed by Haroon A. Khan Run ranks right up there with such cinematic masterpieces as Cobra and Ishtar. Yes it’s that bad. : Run didn’t have to be this ~ way, it could have been an intelligent arid gripping film. Don’t let the ads fool you. Run is about as taut as a limp noodle. Run is the latest "made in . Vancouver, but pretending to be somewhere in the U.S., not Canada" flick to come out these days. Why does the film industry come out with such drivel, time and time again. Run regurgitates just about every action movie cliche over and over again in a truly abysmal premise. Speaking about the premise, here it is: Run starts off introducing Patrick Dempsey as a young, poker playing, hotshot law student who is also a_ part-time mechanic. He is given an opportunity to deliver a Porsche to Atlantic City for his boss. Naturally he takes it, for a fee of course, and heads down the Other Press February 12, 1991 for the boardwalk of Atlantic City. But on the way the car breaks down and he finds himself in a strange town and meets up with a cab driver who takes him for "a piece of the action" an illegal gambling operation that...oh what am I wasting my time for... lets cut to the main action. Dempsey meets up with the obligatory female love interest, played with zero enthusiasm by Kelly Preston,is introduced as a "spunky young whippersnap" who i to deal a mean hand of poker in an illegal gambling joint by bad guy Denny Halloran who after a public argument with Dempsey accidently hits his head on a table and dies. Of course all this is blamed on Dempsey. Now old dead Denny has a similarly dastardly Daddy who’s out for revenge and offers a reward to bring Dempsey in alive so he can kill him. (Makes sense doesn’t it?) After Halloran’s order everyone, including some crooked cops are after Dempsey for the reward, thus forcing him to...aw you guessed it...RUNI He runs everywhere, through parking lots, shopping malls, and of course through the streets If you look like these people you may like Run of a fictional small town that Now Run has a few...well looks eerily like Vancouver. § maybe one good thing going for See Dempsey sweat, seeit-- Patrick Dempsey, who in his Dempsey get beaten up, see first action film cuts a fairly good Dempsey coming back for more figure by smirking alot and and...oh I forgot see Dempsey Popping of one-liners just like RUN! those fine thespians Armold Schwarzenneger, and_ Sly If | Were You 'ld Run Away From From This Film Stallone. In fact after a few more flicks like Run, Dempsey can look forward to starring ina long line of predictable, forgettable, and downright stoopid flicks that have virtually no redeemable social or entertainment values, just like Arnie and Sly. Stevie Ray Vaughan Lives On Well renowned guitarist _ Be Nosey, Go See Cyrano De Bergerac Stevie Ray Vaughan is jamming in the afterlife band while less known but equally talented older brother Jimmie is still Cyrano DeBergerac is a rarity in the motion picture business. It is a true masterpiece, quite simply one of the finest films I’ve ever seen. Based on the classic play by Edmond Rostand and directed by Jean Paul Rappeneau, Cyrano is a truly special film. Its star is the Internationally acclaimed French star Gerard Depardieu, who can also be seen in Greencard, his first major English speaking film. DeBergerac Alliance Films Starring Gerard Depardieu reviewed by Haroon Khan Cyrano is a french film with English subtitles. But don’t let the fact that the film is in French keep you away. Cyrano has what only a few foreign films have: it conveys its story and flows so well that subtitles appear as only a minor distraction and in no way hinder the enjoyment of watching the film. Doubtless, most of you are familiar with the story of Cyrano. Most recently, the story was made into a comedy called Roxanne by Steve Martin. But where Roxanne was an amusing mix of comedy and romance, it pales in the shadow of this film. The acting by Depardieu and all the other players is extraordinary, the charactors so vivid. The actors play their roles with a startling conviction, which is so rare in these days of movies with cardboard cutout characters that spout out one-liners while blowing people away. , The atmosphere conveyed — by the sets, costumes, locations - and of course the amazing © cinematography give the viewer an incredible sense of actually ~ being in old France. Most of the praise of course ™ can only be heaped on one person, Depardieu. In this role and many others, he proves he is one of the finest actors of a generation. He was awarded highest acting honours at the prestigous Cannes Film Festival and _ is internationally regarded in the same way as screen acting legends DeNiro and Brando. Cyrano is anindividual who has honed every skill he has to perfection. He is filled with , pride and would never yield to anyone.But he isa tortured soul, who with all his skills feels empty. Although he gives the outside appearance of being . unaffected, he is plagued by insecurity because of his big nose. Cyrano loves Roxane with every fibre of his being, but is afraid to show his affection for fear of rejection. When he finds out that she is in love with another, he is heartbroken, but still expresses his love for her through the letters he writes for Roxanne’s inept lover. Suffice it to say Cyrano is an amazing yet bittersweet love story which will leave you coming out of the theatre feeling like you've actually experienced what happened in the film. Go see it. You won't regret it, now’ becoming — Stevie Ray and Jimmie playing as a mortal. Jimmie is known for being the guitarist for the Fabulous Thunderbirds and solid rhythm guitar playing. Fortunately for the Vaughan brothers and their innumerable fans, they succeeded in fulfilling _ their desire to record together. Vaughan Brothers Family Style Epic Recourds reviewed by Neil Art "Family Style" is a laid back groove oriented album with a few curves thrown in. The song "Long Way From Home" speeds up the . groove’ and "Baboom/Mama Said" funks jazz over a rap like beat in an unoffensive way. “Hillbillies From Outerspace" has a guitar masquerading as an organ and an accordion adds a hint of Cajun spice to "Brothers". Producer Nile Rodgers. keeps the production neatly out of the way of the song and lets the brothers get their message } across.
