Miller, formerly of SNL’s news segment, “Weekend Update,” opened the show with his usual shake of the head and flip of the hair. It wasn’t a bad show, for a first night, but Millerdidn’t seem his usual cocky self. His edginess got the better of him a few times, and he seemed to have trouble shaking the shadow of SNL. After emerging from behind the requisite curtain, Miller acknowledged the thundering applause and intro duced his band. The most prominent member was former Police guitarist Andy Summers. Miller’s opening monologue was reminiscent of “Weekend Update,” newsy and chock full of political commentary. Most of it was snappy, especially the jokes about the presi dent and debates between Democratic presidential candidates. A few of the jokes sailed right past the audience, though, and a couple of attempts died slow deaths. Miller acknowledged this and mentioned that as a newcomer he had not yet mastered Johnny Carson’s “Houdini-like ability to extricate myself from bad jokes.” In fact, Miller mentioned his newness a number of times. “Be gentle; first night,” he said, using George Bush’s intonations. The segment “For and Against” generated only a lukewarm response. During the segment, Miller presented both points of view about the exis tence of UFOs. The disbelieving position was the more humorous one, poking fun at UFO believers. See MILLER on 11 Releases Continued from Page 9 with the judge presiding over the case, James Farentino. During investigations, she uncov ers a blackmail scheme implicating him that, if released, could ruin his career. This dilemma causes her understandable anguish. (Available today.) “Whore” (NC-17, Unrated, R) “If You Can’t Say it, Just See it.” That is one title of one version of this sup posedly provocative film directed by Ken Russell (Altered States). Told in the narrative style, this film is intended to be a brutally hon est tour of all aspects of prostitution, right down to the abusive pimp. Ther esa Russell (“Black Widow”) stars as the title character. The most interesting thing about this film is that it is being released in four different versions. The theatrical NC-17 version will be released, in addition to an uncut version (with five minutes of additional footage), an abbreviated (by five minutes) R rated version, and the same abbrevi ated R-rated version released under a different title (the aforementioned “If You Can’t...”). Whether the film deserves this much attention is yet to be determined. (Available today.) 1. Thelma and Louise" 1. “City Slickers" 2. “Dying Young" 2. Terminator 2" 3. “Point Break” 3. “Backdraft’ 4.

Michael Mor gan's birdbaths and Nancy Palermi’s distressed constructions are standouts among what is offered. Because the number of works each student can display is limited, one can only ob lain an overview of each artist’s capa bilities. As the exhibition stands, it is an intriguing collection of assorted styles and attitudes. Come and enjoy the special at our new Lincoln store at 48th 8l Normal Blvd!

Shakur (late of the rap outfit Digital Underground) emerges as a remark able find and bathes his performance in cool paranoia. He lets us see Bishop’s attraction to the violence he finds so necessary for survival. Omar Epps plays Q very coolly and is careful not to turn him into an unconvincing and annoying morality symbol. He instead lets us see the danger and ridicule Q faces for fol lowing what he believes in. “Juice” ends on an appropriately ambiguous note. When a friend knights Q with the juice he’s always yearned for, Q’s face reads nothing but re signed disgust. It is a choice that lends the film more realistic intrigue and Dickerson should be lauded for not trying to gloss over the rawness. Dickerson is trying to tell his story through a gritty lens, but rarely have truths like these ever looked and sounded so good.
