Eastwood film
sheer thriller,
despite ending
POWER from page 9
with his long-estranged daughter Kate
(Laura Linney), and homicide detec
tive Seth Frank (Ed Harris) isn’t con
vinced Whitney is the murderer.
The great thing about Eastwood
directed films is the guarantee of the
characters having depth to them.
Eastwood avoids most of the potholes
and pits commonly hit when making
a thriller, and gives each of the char
acters a bit of humanity and style.
The best performances come from
Harris as the ever-inquisitive detective
who’s more interested in justice than
politics, and Eastwood himself as the
man who was just in the wrong place
at the wrong time but decides to do
the right thing.
Disappointing is Hackman’s per
formance* which is borderline
cartQonisb at times, and also Davis,
who seems to be the additional “comic
relief’ of the film ... which doesn’t
need it.
Also, thrown in for no apparent
reason is a subplot involving Brennan -
bringing in a professional hit man. It
was absolutely pointless and annoy
ing (and the guy wasn’t even a good
hit man).
Thprkapp nfMAKcr)iute Power” goes
ending sufficient
Irama and humor
Unfbr$unld€ly, Eastwood lets the
last 20minutes of “Absolute Power”
slip through Jhis fingers, and every
thing ends tip being very anticlimac
_tic. • > ."
The film is definitely worth see
ing; but you don’t have to beat down
any doors to get there.

Leave your head in the fridge
this week, ladies and gentlemen!
The New Release shelves are flow
ing with flicks perfect for the stu
dent hip-deep in midterms, debt
and various other mind-numbing
projects. This week’s pick-of-the
week won’t be easy to find, but it’s
worth the extra work.
“Solo” — Oooooh yeah! An
other one of those “perfect
cybersoldier-regains-humanity”
flicks! Wasn’t “Universal Soldier”
enough?
Solo (Mario Van Peebles) is the
perfect killing machine who goes
against his programming and starts
making decisions on his own
(gasp!), so naturally he has to be
eliminated.
It’s a no-brainer. Perfect for this
time of semester.
“Last Man Standing” — Bruce
Willis. Christopher Walken. Lots
of bullets and explosions. Sounds
like a party!
John Smith (Willis) is a myste
rious gunman who finds himself
playing both sides of a 1930s mob
war, eventually going head-to-head
with vicious psycho Hickey
(Walken).
It may have ‘plotholes’ big
enough for a Sherman tank, but it’s
still no-brainer fun.
PICK-OF-THE-WEEK—This
Friday sees the opening of the re
vamped version of “'Hie Empire
Strikes Back,” one of the many big
hits starring Harrison Ford.
And, although “Force 10 From
Navarone” wasn’t a blockbuster hit
for Ford, it was still a cool wartime
flick. A somewhat lame sequel to
“The Guns of Navarone”—a clas
sic on its own—this one has Ford
as the captain of a crack squadron
of soldiers sent to blow up a bridge
to stop an invasion. The film also
stars Carl Weathers, Robert Shaw
(“Jaws”) and Edward Fox (“Never
Say Never Again”).
Check it out.
Barbershop legend endures, grows in Lincoln
BARBERS from page 9
you name it,” Haun said. -“It’s up to
us to get it out.”
Barbershops also can fulfill a more
specific need than hacking out globs
of crusted Kool-Aid residue. There are
several shops in town that accomodate
ethnic hair and hairstyles.
Muhammad’s, 109 S. 27th St., is
one of four Lincoln barbershops that
specialize in cutting black men’s hair.
“We deal with anyone with hair,”
said James Muhammad, the shop’s
owner and a University of Nebraska
Lincoln graduate. “(But) I opened the
store because there was a need for
walk-in black barbershops.”
His shop is not only the product of
community need, but also of
Muhammad’s firm religious beliefs in
“My teacher stresses do-it-your
self,” Muhammad said. “That was a
big impact on the start of my busi
ness.” , .
He joined the Nation of Islam in
1993, and he opened the store soon
after. He has enjoyed steady business
since. He accredits some of his suc
cess to the lack of qualified barber
shops for black people.
“A lot of white barbershops say
they can cut Wack hair, but they can’t,”
Muhammad said.
After getting a bad haircut from his
father as a youth, Muhammad began
cutting his own hair. Soon his friends
were asking who cut his hair, and
eventually he was giving haircuts to
friends and family.
Muhammad now runs his store
based on the principles of the Koran.
was the result of each proprietor’s re
spect for the tradition of the local bar
bershop.
“There is something about the nos
talgia of the experience,” Haun said.
“Something your father and grandfa
ther may have experienced.”
/ .■- ■' ■-? . -
“The store is clean and orderly, and
no cursing or. eating is allowed,”
Muhammad said.
Despite each owner’s desire to run
a successful business, the spirit of
fierce competition is nowhere to be
found among Lincoln’s more then 25
barbershops. Haun said that attitude
u
A lot of guys growing up went with their
moms (for haircuts). Now they come to
barbershops ... where a guy can say what
he wants to say.”
