Vanity LATE FOR DINNER You may be late for dinner, but Tatie together and given no glimpse of pre vious events that could have influ enced her venomous behavior. Most of these characters don't be have normally; they are presented as strange extremes, and their responses to Tatie's antics range from illogical toabsurd. Herein lies the comedy; we are able to laugh at the outrageous ness of Tatie's attacks without feeling much concern for her victims. There isn't a moment in this film for pity or sympathy; Tatie issimply going about mmmmaummmmmmmmmmmmmmammtt'm Figures Indicate total gross 1.

South Square, Varsity DEAD AGAIN 12 From the staranddirector of Henry V, a story about love and death in the past and present. Ram Triple her job of making life miserable for everyone, and the viewer should just sit back and admire her precision. The use of the "feisty old lady" character to satirize traditional ste reotypes of the aged as weak, feeble and harmless (translation: worthless) is certainly nothing new in film, but the downright viciousness of Tatie lends this particular jab an especially keen edge. While her family clumsily devotes themselves to taking care of their ailing relative, she, in reality, is takingcareof them. Not untilSadrine appears is there evidence of a healthy relationship in the movie; she is the first person who treats Tatie like a A comity about makin' it!

Willowdaile PURE LUCK Danny Glover and Martin Short in what critics are calling the worst film since Another You. Willowdaile ROBIN HOOD, PRINCE OF THIEVES Kevin Costner stars in Alan Rickman's movie. Action, romance, an obscene budget this film has it all. South Square TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY 12 The summer's best film, by the normal (albeit ornery) person, and their scenes together are the only ones that depict anything remotely close to real life. The bizarre and unfamiliar nature of this film may prevent the viewer from becoming thoroughly engrossed, but it still inspires laughter where there should be no laughter, and suc ceeds as a black comedy. In a way, we're lucky that we're never able to really care for the characters in this movie, because we can enjoy the wounds without feeling the bleeding and walk away safe in the knowledge that we'll never have to run into this hellion ourselves.
