Two good releases grace stores this week
By Gerry Beltz
Film Critic
Another minuscule week on the
new release shelves; two whole new
releases. Whee.
However, the plus-side of this week
is both movies are
of decent caliber;
one is even a clas
sic for anyone in
the family to en
joy!
To make up for
the lack of new re
leases this week,
there are two —
count‘emTWO—
picks-of-the-week
this week.
“French Kiss” (PG) — One of the
many romantic-comedies which have
recently permeated our local cinema,
“French Kiss,” available today, is a
delight.
Kate (Meg Ryan, who has come to
be personified with romantic-com
edies) travels to Paris to win her hus
band back from another woman. Her
plans go a bit awry, however, when
she links up with mysterious French
man Luc (Kevin Kline), who is not all
what he seems.
We’re not talking Oscar material
here, but this is a wonderful film to
watch with someone special. Rent
“French Kiss,” warm up a couple of
mugs of hot chocolate and enjoy.
“Cinderella” (G) — The Disney
classic is released on video Wednes
day, and it is available for both sale
and rental.
The story is the same: fairy god
mother helps girl look beautiful with
magic, rats and a pumpkin so she can
go to the ball.
This Disney classic is out there,
and it fits into any video collection
like a glass slipper.
PICKS-OF-THE-WEEK—There
are already enough Jaughs and ro
mance on tap in the new releases, so
we’ll go with one horror and one ac
tion-adventure flick for the picks-of
the-week.
For action, how about a classic
Steve McQueen movie with one of the
absolute best car-chase scenes in cin
■ &
ematic history?
It’s “Bullitt,” from 1968.
McQueen plays a police detective
assigned to protect a witness, but not
everything is as it seems.
Everything in this film is great,
from the camera work to McQueen’s
performance.
For horror, the best kinds make
your skin crawl and your spine shake.
The sweat collects on your palms, and
your nerves tighten up into one tense
collection of fear.
It looks like a normal house from
the outside, but the inside is quite the
different story.
Have you ever experienced “The
Amityville Horror?”
A married couple (James Brolin
and Margot Kidder) move into a house,
which unbeknownst to them, is pos
sessed by the Devil.
This movie spawned at least three
sequels, one of which was in 3-D, but
none of them were even close to the
original, and is considered to be one
of the scariest movies of all time.
Consider it a warm-up for Hallow
een. Have fun!

Physicist considers
time travel possible
LONDON (AP) — Physicist
Stephen Hawking, who once doubted
people could ever travel through time,
now seems to be backtracking.
Hawking’s forward to a new book,
“The Physics of Star Trek” by
Lawrence Krauss, indicates he has
reconsidered, The Sunday Times re
ported.
“One of the consequences of rapid
interstellar travel would be that one
could also travel backward in time,”
Hawking is quoted as saying.
“If you combine Einstein’s general
theory of relativity with quantum
theory, it does begin to seem a possi

One ‘Ido’ not enough
for ‘Baywatch’ star
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
“Baywatch” star Pamela Anderson
wants to make a habit of getting mar
ried to rocker Tommy Lee.
“We’ve been married twicealready
and we want to get married again in
Venice, Italy, possibly on New Year’s
Eve or New Year’s Day,” Anderson
said in an “Extra” TV show interview
for broadcast today.
Earlier this year, the couple mar
ried on a beach in Mexico and recited
vows again during a private ceremony
in Hawaii.
“We just want to get married ev
erywhere, and eventually my mom
will be able to come. She hasn’t been
to either one yet, and neither has
Tommy’s family. It’s just kind,of
whoever’s there,” she said.
“We just kind of think of it at the
last minute and get married.”
Street named after
country music legend
BEAUMONT, Texas (AP)—He’s
traveled a bumpy road to get to George
Jones Place.
The country music star, whose
problems with alcohol and drugs have
often made him a concert no-show,
got a warm welcome home Sunday,
when part of a Beaumont street was
named in his honor.
Hundreds of fans watched the
mayor present Jones, 64, a proclama
tion and a street sign in front of the
Jefferson Theater, where he first per
formed 51 years ago.
“It’s such a sentimental thing,”
Jones said. “It means more to me re
ally than all the other things, except
the hits.”
Among his best-known songs on
his more than 150 albums are “He
Stopped Loving Her Today” and “The
Race Is On.”
Dom rescues spinoff
from ‘Deep’ depths
LOS ANGELES (AP) —Michael
Dom, who played the Klingon Lt.
Cmdr. Worf on “Star Trek: The Next
Generation,” has been called in to
keep “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”
from disappearing into a wormhole.
The spinoff sci-fi series has slipped
in the ratings since its 1993 premiere
in syndication.
For Dom, it means 70 minutes of
makeup every moming.“Actually, I
had to weigh die thing with the makeup
and also with what they were giving
me,” Dom said. “And what they were
offering far outweighed the makeup,
or else I would not have done it.”
Oprah may become
first black billionaire
NEW YORK (AP) — It may soon
be Oprah with nine ‘Os.’
In Forbes magazine’s 1995 list of
the 400 richest Americans, Oprah
Winfrey stands at No. 399. Although
she has a considerable way to go,
she ’ s en route to becoming America ’ s
First black billionaire, the magazine
said in its Oct. 16 issue, released Sun
day.
Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill
Gates held the top spot with about
$14.8 billion in assets, while Omaha
investor Warren Buffet was listed at
No. 2, with roughly $11.8 billion.
Winfrey, the only entertainer on *
the annual list, is worth about $340
million. The 41-year-old Chicagoan
owns her top-rated talk show and pro
duction company, Harpo (Oprah
spelled backwards), and holds a stake
in the show’s distributor, King World
Productions Inc.
Winfrey’s coffers will continue to
grow as she benefits from five-year
deals for ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’
signed last year with 210 television
stations, plus a six-film commitment
from ABC and King World stock op
tions. She also plans to become a
Hollywood producer.
