Fall brings films for everyone
By Gerry Beltz
Senior Reporter
From video games to drag queens,
Brooklyn vampires to British secret
agents, the movie scene this fall has
something to appeal to everyone.
Granted, the movies coming out
between now and December couldn’t
all be listed here, but these are some of
the highlights.
Remember, these release dates
aren’t set in stone and can change at
any time without notice.
August —
Despite the weak reception to “Su
per Mario Bros.” and “Street Fighter,”
another video game comes to the big
screen Aug. 18 with the release of
“Mortal Kombat.”
Christopher Lambert (“Highland
er”) plays the Thunder God Raiden,
who joins three skilled Earth mortals
to enter a deadly martial arts tourna
ment.
The week of Aug. 25 should be
busy with three major releases slated.
“Lord of Illusions” was written and
directed by horror writer Clive Barker
(“Hellraiser”) and stars Scott Bakula
(television’s “Quantum Leap”) and
Famke Janssen (“Goldeneye”). The
movie centers around a private detec
tive (Bakula) who is obsessed with
cults.
Also arriving that week is Antonio
Banderas in “Desperado,” the follow
up to the successful “El Mariachi.”
“The Tie That Binds” features an all
star cast including Darryl Hannah,
Vincent Spano, Moira Kelly and Keith
Carradine, Childless couple adopts
baby. Psycho parents want baby back.
Well... you guess what happens from
there.
September —
“To Wong Foo, Thanks for Every
thing, Julie Newmar,” largely filmed
in Nebraska, is set for release Sept. 8.
Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes and
John Leguizamo star as drag queens
who set off on a cross-country trek, but
get stuck in a small, Midwestern town.
Harvey Keitel keeps time in “Clock
ers” working as a police detective
trying to discover why an innocent
person has confessed to a brutal mur
der. John Turturro (“Quiz Show”)
costars in the film, which should be out
Sept. 13.
Set for a Sept. 22 release, “Seven”
stars Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman,
two detectives searching for a brutal
murderer who patterns his crimes after
the seven deadly sins. On that same
day, “Hackers” will ride the current
wave of films about computers and the
people who can control them.
October —
Two movies that have already been
released nationally — ‘To Die For”
with Nicole Kidman and “Dead Pres
idents” with Larenz Tate (“Menace II
Society”) — are slated to arrive in the
Capital City Oct. 6, along with “Assas
sins,” starring Sylvester Stallone and
Banderas.
Academy Award-nominees Ralph
Fiennes (“Quiz Show,” “Schindler’s
List”), Angela Bassett (“What’s Love
Got to Do With It”) and Juliette Lewis
(“Natural Born Killers”) star in
“Strange Days.”
Classic literature goes to celluloid
with “The Scarlet Letter” Oct. 20.
Demi Moore takes on the leading role.
The film has made waves in literary
circles because the ending supposedly
has been changed to make it more
upbeat.
Oct. 27 will bring another slew of
new arrivals, including Eddie Murphy
as “A Vampire in Brooklyn” and Har
ry Connick Jr. as a copycat murderer in
“Copycat,” also starring Holly Hunter
and Sigourney Weaver.
Slamming screens that same day is
“Fair Game,” starring Cindy Crawford
(as a lawyer?) and Billy Baldwin as the
cop protecting her.
November —
Pinhead, the master of pain and
suffering, returns Nov. 11 in“Hellraiser
4: Bloodlines,” in which he wreaks
misery and anguish through three gen
erations.
Everyone’s favorite rubber-faced
pet detective returns Nov. 10 in “Ace
Ventura 2: When Nature Calls.”
Bond is back, and he has a new face.
Pierce Brosnan picks up the Walther
PPK for the latest installment in the
Bond series, due out Nov. 17.
Also on that date, catch “Sabrina,”
a romantic comedy starring Harrison
Ford, Greg Kinnear and Julia Ormond.
