each other. The “father” in question
was Oscar, the chauffeur and name
sake of the film, who has enlisted and
been sent abroad.
Snaps’ wife gets into the act, in
sisting that it is Snaps’ duty as a father
to save their daughter’s tattered honor
and find her a husband, in between
getting fitted for a new suit, elocution
lessons and meeting the bankers at
noon in an effort to go legit.
. Stallone is finally given a chance
o shine, with a decent script and real
dialogue. His comic ability is obvi
ous, and he sparkles in a role that
seems made for him. Although his
role is simply a stereotype of the
Italian gangster, Stallone carries itoff
with style.
Tomei, as the pampered princess
who yearns to be released from her
gilded cage, is funny and plays her
role to the hilt, giving as good as she
gets.
And the film has an excellent
supporting cast — without which
“Oscar” would not have been as funny.
Also, in a cameo role as the mori
bund Provolone Sr., we get Kirk
Douglas as a crotchety old man. His
last wish is that his son become hon
est, and he wants to slap Junior around
just a few more times before he goes.
“Oscar” is a hilarious ride, full of
belly laughs and hard-fought happy
endings. Amazingly enough, the mess
is resolved, with a few unexpected
twists — even though the old man’s
dying request is not honored.
On the whole, “Oscar” is well worth
the time and the cash.
“Oscar” is playing at the Lincoln
Theatre, 12th and P streets.

Psycho
Continued from Page 9
sweetheart, it is revealed that he
enjoyed murdering women even
during his college years.
But since that time, Bateman
has gotten more creative and psy
chotic in his methods for killing.
This is also apparent in the way the
book is written. Each successive
murder sequence is more disgust
ing than the last.
'In addition to becoming more
gruesome, Bateman also becomes
more careless; one starts to get the
idea that he actually wants to get
caught. But each time, he walks
away without suspicion.
For example, Bateman is amazed
and exhilarated when he manages
to walk away from a scene at the
zoo where he kills a 5-year-old boy
in a crowded penguin gazebo.
But for all of this lack of cau
tion, along with a confession on an
answering machine, no one even
suspects that Bateman is anything
more than eccentric.
This may be Ellis’ way of mak
ing a statement about the current
state of our society, especially in
larger cities such as New York.
“American Psycho” could be a
deliberate stab at the way people
choose to ignore acts of violence
rather than acknowledging that such
things can exist. Or, it could sim
ply be an effort to shock the world
and capitalize on the morbid curi
osity of society.
But whatever its target may be,
“American Psycho” is too gross to
be truly entertaining.

both Robert Johnson efforts; and “Baby
Please Don’t Go,” a Bukka White
song.
The album’s only problem is a
lack of energy. Although the band’s
understated, slow style definitely is
an asset, one or two songs with a
faster rhythm would serve to balance
the album. “Forgive Me” is the only
song with even a hint of energy.
Other than minor lethargy, The
Cowboy Junkies’ latest effort is defi
nitely worth the hard-earned money.
Cavedogs
Continued from Page 9
A fitting description.
The voice is really that pure and
the music borders masterfully on
grunge. The key to The Cavedogs
sonic perfection lies in simplicity.
B^nd members say they feel the band
will do fine, as long as they don’t
learn any more chords.
“Yeah. Yeah. As long as we don’t
get too damn fancy,” Rivers added.
“You know, we are a three-piece. If
you do too much of the three-piece,
you start to become Rush,” Rivers
explained, giggling.
“Joyrides forShut-Ins,’’The Cave
dogs’ debut, is actually a collection
of demos. The songs have been cleaned
up, and a couple have been re-re
corded by Ed Stasium of Smither
eens, Soul Asylum and Ram ones fame.
The band doesn’t seem to mind the
release of its demos. In fact, members
are pretty adamant in retaining the
rougher, original sound, Rivers said.
“We always did them with the
intention of ‘ let’s do them so we don ’ t
have to come back and record another
tired version. Let’s get it right while
we like the song,”’ Rivers explained.
The story behind the release of
“Joyrides For Shut-Ins” is involved.
Originally Enigma Records was going
to release “Joyrides” last spring, but
decided to release it in August.
The band was disappointed, to say
the least.
‘“Oh man. Really? We’ve gotta sit
around... hang out at our day jobs for
that much longer?’” Rivers said.
The Cavedogs convinced Enigma
to record an EP to release to college
station^#. The then four-song EP was
completed too soon after the release
of the album, so it was never released.
Until now.
Recently, Enigma Records went
to that place in the sky that all defunct
record companies go to when they
pass on. However, The Cavedogs didn’t
have to go with them. <«
Capitol Records picked up The
Cavedogs’ option and re-released
“Joyrides For Shut-Ins” last month.
That was where the EP came to see
light.
, “It (the EP) never really got re
leased. So, when we did the Capitol
thing, they needed something to give
the record another life,” Rivers said.
Released as an EP featuring a dif
ferent version of “Tayter Country,”
the six-song EP full of five new and
unreleased tracks should be in stores
any day.
With an endless list of listening
faves, The Cavedogs’ influences seem
as endless as its possibilities.
“MC Hammer. Let me tell you.
He’s our favorite labelmate,” Rivers
joked. “I’m probably truest to the
power-pop stuff. We listen to every
thing from Fugazi to Abba,” grunted
Rivers in his best Casey Kasem voice.
An Abba rebirth, then?
“God .. . We can only hope so,”
Rivers chuckled.
Another Cavedog release soon?
God ... We can only hope so.
