This isn’t a good week for the new-release shelves. Only one new release is definitely worth rent New Video Release ing; everytningeise is wishy-washy at best. “Now and Then” — Four childhood friends come to gether to celebrate a childbirth and end up reminiscing about the younger days. The older set (Melanie uritlith, Demi Moore, Rita Wilson and Rosie O’Donnell) is much more recognizable than the kids, which include Christina Ricci and Thora Birch. The film is mildly amusing, but focuses too much on one time period over the other. “Cutthroat Island” — This one came and went so quick, so it wouldn’t be surprising if you didn’t remember it. During a search for the three parts of a treasure map, a pirate (Geena Davis) and her slave (Matthew Modine) face mutiny, sword fights and more explosions than you could possibly believe. Still, if you hang your brain at the door, it can be an enjoyable film. Roll the dice. “Unstrung Heroes” — Good old fashioned drama! Back to the basics! Steven (Nathan Watt) moves in with his two eccentric uncles after his mother (Andie MacDowell) falls ter minally ill and his father (John Turturro) proves to be too difficult to live with. Good, solid acting all the way around, and director Diane Keaton brings it all together for an all-around good flick. “The Scarlet Letter” — OK, so the filmmakers took a couple of creative liberties with the original Hawthorne novel. (Like changing the ending, charac ters, story line, etc.) Demi Moore, Gary Oldman and company all should be ashamed for starring in this slice of cinematic sludge. Avoid this sucker like laxa tive-filled brownies. PICK OF THE WEEK —Richard Dreyfuss got the shaft at this year’s Oscars, but a few years back, he picked up an Academy Award for his work in “The Goodbye Girl,” co-starring Marsha Mason. Based on the Neil Simon play, the movie portrays Mason as Paula, a single mom whohasjust been dumped by another actor boyfriend. She has an apartment and no job, and Elliot (Dreyfuss) is an actor with no apart ment. The two reluctantly join up, despite her vow to stay away from actors. Formula? Yes. Funny? To say the least. The fdm has hoots from beginning to end, the chemistry and dialogue are excellent, and Dreyfuss’performance was well worth the Oscar. It’s the perfect heartwarmer to catch before dead week begins. Grab some friends and loved ones, too. Check it out. • . I Flirting Continued from Page 9 claimed independent film, “Spank ing The Monkey,” and with his first major motion picture, “Flirt ing W ith Disaster,” he shows he is not just a flash in the pan. His characters are all human; that much is obvious. The strong neurosis of each of the characters, however, brings in the audience, reminding them of someone they have known like that in real life. Stiller and Arquette are OK as the parents surrounded by — and afflicted with — neurolicism, but the performances range too often between comedy and drama, and are too bland at that. Tea Leoni as the befuddled psychologist also shows very little flavor in her role. The real prizes for “Flirt ing With _ Disaster”^) to the comedy veter ans. Moore and Segal are the par ents from Hell that we all hear about, and Alda and Tomlin are equally wonderful as the (supposedly) ideal parents. The comedy in “Flirting With Disaster” is a little cerebral, and requires a sense of humor where you can laugh at yourself and your fellow human beings. Glassy Eye Continued from Page 9 “Webster” and “Riptide,” “Days of Our Lives” and “One Life to Live,” television adaptations of “Starman” and “Weird Science.” Couldn’t you do something better? Could you pos sibly create anything worse?
