if Mice and Men” Gary Sinise suus and directs this latest adapta tion of John Steinbeck’s classic. Sinise is George to John Malkovich’s simple Lennie—two friends, unemployed in California during the depression. When they find work, they m ust bend to the Curly, the boss’ son. Curly is an insensitive lout whose treat ment of George and Lennie is only surpassed by his treatment of his wife. Tragedy strikes when Lennie helps <Curly’s wife. “Singles” Love stories set in the heart of the Seattle grunge scene are the center of writer/director Cameron Crowe’s hip flick. Bridget Fonda, Matt Dillon, Campbell Scott and Kyra Sedgwick star as singles searching for old fashioned love in contemporary society. Fonda is a waitress at a coffee house pining away for Dillon, the lead singerofan “alternative band.” He’s not interested in commitment and has little time for her insecuri ties. Their relationship is funny and familiar for anyone who has ever been involved in a similar situa tion. Scott and Sedgwick are young, upwardly mobile, politically cor rect professionals who also are afraid of commitment. They have the typical communication prob lem young lovers face. Crowe hits the marie every time with this picture—the character’s interaction and dialogue have a tremendous sense of realism. Not to mention its terrific soundtrack. “Singles” is a must see. “Whispers in the Dark” Annabel la Sciorra (“The Hand That Rocks the Cradle”) stars in this would-be “Fatal Attraction” thriller. Sciorra is Dr. Ann Hecker, a psychiatrist in Manhattan who’s caught up in intrigue and deceit after one of her patients is mur dered. She hooks up with an inves tigator (Anthony LaPaglia, “29th Street”) only to find that her lover is the prime suspect. Alan Alda and Jill Clayburgh co-star.

Sequel is top-notch horror “Army of Darkness” Straight out-and-out horror? No, not at all. Tongue-in-cheek horror of high quality? Definitely. Sam Raimi successfully brings the same comic-book atmosphere from his mega-hit “Darkman” to “Army of Darkness” (ends Thursday at The Lin coln, 1145 P St., starts Fnday at Plaza 4,201 N. 12th St.). Although it’s not credited as such, “Army of Darkness” is the third in stallment in the “Evil Dead” movie series. The hero of the series is back, played by “Evil Dead” and “Maniac Cop” veteran Bruce Campbell, who also co-produccd“Army of Darkness.” He and his junker car have been sucked through a time portal (from the end of “Evil Dead 2']), and he is now being held prisoner in the era of King Arthur. Our hero with jaw of stone, and brain to match, is eventually called the “Chosen One” who will go fetch one standard All-Powerful magic book from the bad guys. Campbell beautifully plays his character, with a chain-saw prosthe sis on his right hand from “Evil Dead 2.” The movie is campy from begin ning to end, and Campbell plays the womanizing, wisecracking hero to the hilt. It's no secret how the movie will end, but the path getting there is the hilarious part. Along the way, Raimi throws in elements from cinematic classics like “Jason and the Argo nauts," “The Day the Earth Stood Still” and the Three Stooges* films. The special effects are fairly stan dard, but some of the makeup effects (like when our hero gets sucked, face first, into a cursed book) are fairly impressive. Check it out. It’s definitely worth it. — Gerry Beltz Courtesy of October Films Martin Marais (Guillaume Depardieu) and Madeleine (Anne Brochet) in MTous les matins du monde." French masterpieces, emotions flow through passionate story iuun ics mauns au monae (All the Mornings of the World)” is an exquisite and melancholy interpreta tion of the lives of 17th century French cellists Monsieur de Sainte Colombe and Marin Marais. . Sainte Colombe (Jean-Pierre Marielle) fulfills the request of play ing his cello for an ill friend whose wish is that his death be accompanied by wine and musk:. When Colombe returns home, he finds that his wife has died as well. He then falls into despair, building a shack on his estate wherein he finds solitude to play and write music to mourn his wife. Colombe lives undisturbed until young Marais (played by Gerard Depardieu’s son Guillaume) appears and requests an education. Colombe, who feels life severely and has poured his sensibility of it into his music, —— eventually rejects Marais and his mis directed sensuality. Not until Marais becomes an adult (played by Gerard Depardieu) does he come to understand the passion of master Colombe and the sadness he has caused and experienced. “Tous les matins du monde” ab sorbs the senses to the point that sub titles evaporate. What remains is a beautiful visual and musical lesson in how art equals truth. “Tous les matins du monde” will play at the Mary Riepma Ross Film Theater Thursday, March 4 through Sunday, March 7, and Tuesday, March 9 through Saturday, March 13.
