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.
All titles available Wednesday.

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.

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.
Showtimes are 7 and 9:15 p.m. daily
with matinees Saturday at 12:45 and
3 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 and 4:45
p.m.
