Freshwomen Take money to Isis Walker Jones Hall, Room 209 or mail to Isis — Box 617 Western recommended for 'rational' adults Tamu Johnson Banner Reporter An explosive ending to a slow beginning. The Quick and The Dead is a shoot em' up westem full ofvengeful characters. Sharon Stone and Gene Hackman are the main attractions. Stone plays Ellen, a female outlaw whose life has been mined by a heartless man named Herod played by Hackman. During Herod’s days of shoot ing up towns and assassinating people he killed Ellen’s father. The setting of the movie is a dusty westem town filled with “harlots, Native Americans, and drunks.” Movie Review A week-long shoot out con test with a $22,000 prize takes place throughout most of the movie and the roughest toughest, gunmen in the west sign up. Many of the gunmen talk a big game but that big talk cost some of them their lives. The outlaws in the movie didn’t wear a certain color but they seem to be proud that they were quick enough to kill some one and not be killed. Due to the violent content I only recommend this movie to rational adults. The Quick and The Dead rated “R” is showing at local theaters in Greensboro. No longer 'Black Shadows on a Silver Screen Sherry Jones Guest Reviewer African American film is a part of our history that has been overlooked. African Americans were portrayed as maids, butlers and chauffeurs in early whitefilms. Then African American filmmak ers began their own filmmaking. The video documentary “Black Shadows on a Silver Screen,” nar rated by Ossie Davis, contains clips of the earliest African Ameri can films and helps us understand how they began. After D.W. Griffith made “Birth of a Nation,” which por trayed African Americans in the ugliest of racist ways, Oscar Micheaux began producing black films. His first film. Birth of a Race in 1919 was part of a movement led by the NAACP for a black film industry. Today, African Americans are playing more positive roles such as lawyers, doctors, law en forcers and civil rights leaders. This was made possible by people like Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Paul Robeson and Sidney Poitier, who fought for tiie more positive roles, made their own films, and supported African American filmmakers. Black Shadows on a Silver Screen is a great tool for aspiring black filmmakers and all African Americans. It is a part of our history. We are no longer shad ows on a silver screen, tiianks to those artists who paved the way for Spike Lee, John Singleton, Robert Townsend, Julie Dash and you. Black Shadows is available for checkout from the Mass Com munications Deoardnent in Shell Hall. If you think you are at risk for HIV infection, now’s the time to consider counseling and testing.
