;| Ranch Bowl rocks with 4-band show By Patrick Miner Staff Reporter When Nuclear Family took the stage Sun day night in front of a sold-out Ranch Bowl crowd, they had several eager fans looking upon them. The crowd, excited for Skeletones and Mojo recording artists Reel Big Fish and Goldfinger, showed little appreciation for the band, as well as little movement. The band exited the stage after the usual opening-act 311 reference and their theme song “Nuclear Family” was played, and they made way for the Skeletones. The Skeletones entered the stagehand the two-band ska portion of the show began. They made it clear that they planned to do a live re cording of the show, so fans became even more excited. As Jhey played .tracks from their latest,alJ bum; “Dr. Bones,” the Skeletones showed a Fishbone flavor. “Vicissitudes” was tremendous live; and it would have been even better if just half the crowd had learned to dance to ska in stead of moshing to it.

Action, comedy keep new movie afloat ByGebhyBeltz FilmCritic It’s still about a fast-talking cop, but “Metro” is a welcome change from the “Beverly Hills Cop” flicks, -a both for Eddie Murphy and mov iegoers. Hot off the success of “The Nutty Professor,” Murphy jumps back mto the action-comedy pool, but “Metro” leans more towards the action side than Murphy’s previ ous works. As Scott Roper, Murphy takes the “fast talking” part of his previ ous stuff and puts a positive spin Please see METRO on 10 Photo courtesy of CFP Distribution MI8N OWMB stan a* a Mclwall *• hImm Mi tarty art m-mHmr hi tha basel-aa-a-trse-stary black cunCy “Tbe Taai| Paiaaasr’s Burns’ classic film included in this week’s release picks By Gerry Beltz FUm Critic f ' "f It’s not exactly the brightest week for new releases, but we’ve seen worse. Also, a n#w passed-on comedy legend was bard Monday, so the pick-of-the week has bran chosen in his honor. “Eddie” —- Whoopi Goldberg con tinues to put out movies which just manage to avoid the public eye. In tins ode, an avid-but-mouthy basketball fan (Goldberg) wins a half time contest, which names her as an honorary coach of the team for the remainder of the game. However, she proves more effec tive than the real coaches, so a scheme or two later... WHABBO! She’s in charge! The comedy is OK, but the storyline is rather predictable. Rent it if nothing else looks good. \ - Please NFWVID on 10
