Cheese 11 2-Pcs. Chicken 2-Vegetables & Roll Chicken Plate p 89 Lunch each y By STEVE CARR Staff Writer John Sayles' Lianna is a woman's pic ture. Although directed by a man, Lianna is sensitive to and perceptive of the ex perience of being a woman. Most people have probably seen films that Sayles was involved in. By writing witty, savvy screenplays for such entertainment-oriented movies as Piranha, Battle Beyond the Stars, The Howling and Alligator, Sayles earned the royalties to finance films like Lianna and his earlier Return of the Secaucus Seven. Sayles is not out to make money on his personal projects (although Secaucus Seven grossed over. $2 million). He is more concerned with making statements statements about the way people are in a society that does not have patience or space for them. Return of the Secaucus Seven focuses on the reunion of a group of 1960s radicals trying to come to grips with their own disillusionment, and ironically, their conformity. In his second film, Lianna, Sayles has intensified this situation by concentrating on one person instead of seven. Lianna is the mother of two children and the wife of an associate professor. Feeling isolated from her role as wife and mother, she becomes involved with the teacher of an adult education course she is taking. Eventually they have a lesbian affair, which in turn begins the process of Lianna's self-examination. Lianna, as a woman's picture, is not pornography, trash, a soaper or cheap melodrama. It is the bold portrait of a woman's learned dependency and her in nate strength. It also shows people's in tolerance towards others and their feel ings. It shows how society demands that people fit into a role and stick to it. At first the movie is shocking in its straightforwad simplicity. Both the viewer and Lianna are plunged into a graphic lesbian sex scene that rattles puri tan sensibilities. It is actually less shock ing to watch a woman bare her buttocks, knowing she is going to make love with :3 Lianna's husband, than it is to see Lianna just kissing her teacher. But Lianna exposes the truly disgusting aspects of sexuality intolerant hetero sexual attitudes. All her life, Lianna has been forced to concentrate solely on her role as wife and mother. She is dependent on her husband Dick, and even though she knows of his carryings-on with his students, she overlooks his excapades for the sake of their two children. When Dick finds out about Lianna's affair, however, he is so furious and humiliated that he kicks her out of the house. Lianna's best friend suddenly avoids her even though the two have known each other for years. Lianna's daughter cannot accept her mother's new image, either. . There are many wonderful things in this movie. Linda Griffiths, who portrays Lianna, and John Sayles both display in finite wisdom in not making title role into a crusading butch or dyke. Lianna is wronged at every turn, but she has so much dignity and beauty that even when she is humiliated she still has the power to stand up again. Her affairs are so healthy in their openness and caring that the les bian affairs seem more natural than the heterosexual ones. But Lianna is not a suffering goddess. She has her flesh and blood flaws as well. Her dependence on her husband is im mediately channelled towards her teacher, Ruth. Suddenly, she no longer looks at Ruth as a person but as someone playing the role of her lover. Lianna is literate, warm, funny and real. It is the type of movie that Ulumi nates truth to society's learned, irrational sensibilities. John Sayles has a subtle, stunning directorial style that perfectly balances humor and drama. John Sayles himself has a small role as a sort of divprce vulture who comes to prey on Lianna after she has her own place. Later on he finds out about her les bianism and talks to her best friend about it. The friend is troubled and disturbed by the whole thing, but Sayles simply says, "I'm from California. That sort of stuff doesn't faze me." California suddenly reaches mythological proportions. Too bad more people aren't from California. 'Black Stallion' sequel not as good as original By TODD DAVIS Staff Writer Making a sequel to a blockbuster movie is like a Hollywood game of darts. Usually, you either hit the audience bull's-eye or miss the target completely. Ex amples: Make a sequel to Star Wars. Call it The Empire Strikes Back. Bull's-eye. Make a sequel to The Amityville Horror. Call it The Amityville Horror II. Miss. Now up to the sequel target steps The Black Stallion Returns, which is a follow-up to the successful The Black Stallion. Hit or miss? Sizing up the contender sequel, many of the elements that made The Black Stallion a winner are back. Based on Walter Parley's second book in The Black Stallion series, The Black Stallion Returns continues the storyline with the original tribal owners coming to 'X. - America to return the stallion to the Sahara desert for an intertribal horse race. Another warring tribe also wants the stallion so they can fix the race. Caught in the middle is young Alec, who follows the stallion back to North Africa in hopes of reclaiming him. The story unfolds with plenty of adventure in an exotic world with strange, interesting people where honor must overcome evil. - Besides a good old-fashioned boy and horse tale, the movie again boasts Francis Ford Coppola, who always stands for quality, as an executive producer. Also from The Black Stallion, Kelly Reno is back 'before the cameras as the likable Alec. Even the sahie horse, Cass-ole, returns to play the magnificient stallion. However, two key people behind the camera are miss ing in the sequel. They are director Carroll Ballard and cinematographer Caleb Deschanel. Replacing Ballard as director is Robert Dalva, who was editor of The Black Stallion. The new cinematographer is Carlo Di Palma. Together, these two men make an ex citing sequel full of action with good but not great visuals; Good but not great and that's the catch. There's just nothing in the sequel to compare with the original's undescribable deserted island scenes between Alec and the stallion. The Black Stallion's special visual feeling is gone with Ballard and Deschanel from the sequel. Still, Dalva and Di Palma create a refreshing movie ex perience with romantic settings of horses running across dunes. The Black Stallion Returns shows great care and respect for its visuals, but they are not the nature knockouts of The Black Stallion. v For the sequel to strike the bull's-eye it would have to hit the mark The Black Stallion set with breathtaking scenes. Barely missing the bull's eye, The Black Stallion Returns still hits the sequel target "with a high score of entertainment that few of today's movies can reach.
