It centers on Father Ralph deBricassart, (Richard Chamberlain of “Shogun”) a Catholic priest who succumbs to the temptation of Meg, seductively played by Rachel Ward (“Against All Odds.” The cast is excellent. Chamberlain is the icon of the mini-series, appealing to women of all ages. He and Ward are supported by such screen greats as Barbara Stanwyck (“Double Indemnity”), Jean Simmons (“Guys and Dolls”) and Christopher Plummer (“The Sound of Music”), Bryan Brown (“F/X”) also stars. “Cyrano deBergerac” (NR) Oscar nomi nee Gerard Depardieu stars in this adaptation of the classic love story. Depardieu is the title character, a man too shy to express his own feelings, but perfectly comfortable having others express them for him. Most American film fans will recognize Depardieu from his starring role in last year’s “Green Card” with Andie Mac Dowell. How ever, he is an acclaimed actor in France, the equivalent of our Robert DeNiro. Steve Martin fans may remember the story’s comedic twist in “Roxanne.” That film, how ever funny, can’t compare to the riveting filmmaking seen here.

Meat Puppets serve it raw By Rich Thompson Staff Reporter A new guitar hero for the 1990s has arrived. Dust off the rock guitar trophy shelf and make room for Curt Kirkwood of the Meat Puppets. Kirkwood proved himself as an innovator and a master of his instrument during hts band’s impressive set Monday night at the Ranch Bowl in Omaha. A typical Meat Puppets song features layers of guitar sound, from country-inspired finger style work to super crunchy metal chords with schizophrenic lead work that defies descrip tions. The Puppets sped up the recorded ver sions of their songs and stripped them down to bare essentials. The result was a manic burst of totally original rock ‘n’ roll. “Six Gallon Pie,” an up-tempo Hee-Haw sounding thing, opened a set dial featured nearly all the songs from the Puppet’s latest LP, “Forbidden Places.” Many of the 150 or so present were content to sit on their hands until midway through the show, when Kirkwood put an end to it with the scorching intro to “Auto matic Mojo.” Fans of the band’s early days were treated to blazing interpretations of Puppet classics “Lost” and “Lake of Fire,” the latter a sort of heavy metal metaphysics lesson. The band showed no visible signs of disap pointment at the weak turnout Instead, the Puppets tore into insanely fast covers of “Good Golly, Miss Molly” and the Foghat master piece “I Just Want to Make Love to You.” The assembled faithful roared their sweaty approval. The Scrawl, a tight three-piece troupe from Columbus, Ohio, opened the show with a com petent but unremarkable set of original pop tunes. The reason for the embarrassingly low turn out for the Puppets is anybody’s guess. Broth ers Curt and Cris Kirkwood and drummer Derrick Bostrom have a new LP out on a major label, their strongest effort in years. They were play ing a bar they had appeared at twice before, so maybe there just wasn’t enough promotion for the show. Regardless, the Puppets played like the house was packed and were gracious enough to thank those who had showed up. Courtesy of Columbia Pictures Columbia Pictures is betting audiences won’t stay home alone in November, when Macaulay Culkin returns to the screen with Anna Chlumsky in “My Fall Continued from Page 9 Culkin plays a young boy who befriends a troubled lilile girl played by newcomer Anna Chlumsky. Chlumsky is Vada, an 11-year-old whose summer is full of surprises. Her father is a widowed mortician whose routine life is turned upside down. Dan Aykroyd (“Ghostbusters”), who usu ally does his best work in smaller, character roles, is Vada’s father. His comic bomb “Noth ing But Trouble” was just that, but his perform ance in Bruce Beresford’s “Driving Miss Daisy” earned him an Oscar nomination. Aykroyd should stick to drama. “29th Street”: At long last, Danny Aiello (“Do The Right Thing”) gets a picture all his own. He does share it with the charismatic Anthony LaPaglia (“One Good Cop’O, but essentially, he is the big name. The movie is based loosely on the real life adventure of Frank Pesce, a young New Yorker with unbeatable luck. Pesce (LaPaglia) buys a ticket to the lottery and makes it into the finals to win S6.2 million dollars. Everyone is convinced Pesce will win, in cluding local ruffians. They give Pesce “an offer he can’t refuse” for the lottery ticket. Aiello is Frank Pesce Sr., a man who is always down on his luck and is irritated that the younger Frank seems to live under a blessed sign. Danny Aiello has long deserved an opportu nity to shine on his own. It can only help LaPaglia’s already rising star. The real Frank Pesce has a small role as his own uncle. DIPPING IS FOR MPS.
