The New Release shelves have a bounty of great flicks this week, and the pick-of-the-week is no slouch ei ther. All new films are available today, unless you can’t find them. If you can’t, you didn’t hear about them here. “Bound” (R)—Look familiar? It should. “Bound” just played at the Mary Riepma Ross Film The ater a couple of weeks ago. A budding lesbian love affair between Corky (Gina Gershon) and mobster girlfriend Violet (Jennifer Tilly) blossoms into a plot to steal $2 million from gangster Caesar (Joe Pantiliano). Great acting, great music, great flick. Go for it! “Courage Under Fire” — Uh oh. Another “bounce around differ ent timelines” film. Yeah, but this one works. Starring Denzel Washington and Meg Ryan, “Courage Under Fire” follows the growth and dis covery of truth, justice, bravery and honor, all in the wake of an inves tigation into whether or not a fe male officer should be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. Co-starring Lou Diamond Phillips, this is an incredible, well done film in every sense of the word. Again, this one is at the top of the recommended list. “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” — Disney, dancing gar goyles and deformed bell-ringers; you know it’s a can’t-miss flick! The “aesthetically-challenged” Quasimodo (Tom Hulce) falls for street gypsy Esmerelda (Demi Moore), but when the handsome Captain Phoebus (Kevin Kline) shows up to assist the evil Frollo (Tony Jay), everything goes down the toilet ... but not without a healthy amount of music and hu mor. Great stuff for young and old here. Guaranteed laughs. “That Thing You Do” — Will EBnmip the dream you dream ever be the thing you do? Set right after the Beatles hit it big, this film follows small-time pop group the One-ders, who aid up with a hit single and are forced to deal with overnight stardom ... and everything that goes with it. Tom Hanks produced and di rected this one, and it is a fine little film to rent. PICK-OF-THE-WEEIC — Okay, it’s on either TBS or TNT at least once a month, but it is a defi nite classic! Who can ever get enough of... “The Beastmaster”? Dar (Marc Singer) can commu nicate with animals via cinematic telepathy (the music changes) and goes on a quest to avenge his vil lage, but not without taking time to pick up some animal friends, run around in his furry Fruit of the Looms and try to get it on with a warrior slave girl (Barbi Benton). Painter joyous without typical ‘real’job NOTHERN from page 7 have really nice shapes,” she said. There are two related levels of per sonal symbolism in the composition’s red-yellow-blue color scheme. First is Nothem’s penchant for exaggeration. When she was painting the mixer, the background wasn’t re ally bright yellow and the table really wasn’t bright red. The second level is playful spite. One of her art professors told her she just couldn’t do a red-yellow-blue composition. “Just because he told me I couldn’t do, 1 decided to try.” Nothem, 28, has made a point of trying new things in her eight years of painting. “It’s so mind-blowing to work on some things and see yourself progress.” One wouldn’t know it from look ing at her whimsically colored pictures of gourds, violins and other objects— all things with which she has some sentimental connection — but Nothem is teaching herself to paint all over again. “In school, you just don’t really get much time to paint.” Still pacing around her attic, she frowns at a large canvas of a cello in its case. She’s not satistfed with the brightness of the wood or the shading of the case’s green felt lining. “Color’s super-tricky,” she said matter-of-factly. Already thinking about her next project, Nothem isn’t pacing anymore. 66 It’s so mind-blowing to work on some things and see yourself progress. ” Laura Nothern artist She’s practically twirling. This is a joyful woman. “I mean, I’ve got a portable easel now. I’m a free woman. I can go any where and paint wherever I want.” Artwork created by Mom’ showcased at Noyes gallery U ...painting is an adventure waiting to unfold...” LmsMetsenbehg artist from noon to 1:30 p.m. For reser vations call Mardy McCullough at 475-0479. The show ends March 29. Small sculptures, photo landscapes displayed in show HAYDON from page 7 Haydon director Anne Pagel calls “part shamanistic and part whimsical and meant to be played with. “What would never occur to me is to put these in a case,” Pagel said. “I don't think he'd like that.” “Articulated Figure” is only 5'A inches tall, yet sports neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle joints joined with tiny pins of antler. Flecky travels widely — included among his works are pictures of loca tions from western Nebraska and the southeast and southwest United States. The exhibition’s opening reception is Friday evening at Haydon, 335 N. Eighth St., from 7-9. The exhibition ends March 29. MOTHERS from page 7 statement that “for me, painting is an adventure waiting to unfold with subject matter as diverse as the land that surrounds me.” Taking a humorous approach is York artist Jeani Gustafson with her stoneware sculpture “Sun Kissed.” It depicts a rather amply proportioned, pinkish woman re clined and regaled in blue sun vi sor, yellow sunglasses and blue two-piece bikini adorned with yel low and orange flowers. It must be seen to be believed. The Mothers show’s opening reception is Friday evening from 6:30 to 9:30. In addition, an awards recognition luncheon is Saturday 5 -• '
