i 6BThe Daily Tar HeelThursday, April 26, 1984 movies Week's Fare From page 1B America. Writer-director John Millius maps out the strategy for this "day alter" tale. The Ladd Company's single release, a gangster opus titled Once Upon a Time in America, will be looking for an audience when it goes head to head with The Search for Spock on its June 1 release date. While the Ladd Company puts off comparisons to The Godfather, a company publicist saia the film is about four men growing up and how their lives intertwine during the '20s and '30s a time of prohibition and gangsters. Italian director Sergio Leone created some controversy by preparing a three-hour, 45-minute version of the film an hour longer than contracted by Ladd. The cast, however, including Robert DeNiro, James Woods, Elizabeth McGovern, Tuesday Weld, Louise Flet cher, Joe Pesci, and Treat Williams, should more than compensate for the extra running time. Opening in late June are 20th Century Fox's Rhinestone and Bachelor Party. The former, directed by Porky 's auteur Bob Clark, teams Dollar Parton and Sylvester Stallone as two country singers. The latter, a comedy directed by Neil Israel, stars Splash's Tom Hanks. Other Fox offerings for the summer in clude the comedies Revenge of the Nerds and Buckaroo Banzai. The former stars Robert Caradine and Bernie Casey, and is directed by Jeff Knew all of whom, of course, are nerds. Buckaroo, about a rock musician-neurosurgeon, stars Jeff Goldblum (The Big Chill, The Right Stuff) and John Lithgow (Twilight Zone The Movie), whose careers, with this movie, are either taking a giant step forward or a - giant tumble backward. Look for Buckaroo and Nerds or don't look; we don't care in mid August. Universal's slate includes director Walter Hill's (48 Hrs.) "rock 'n' roll fable" Streets of Fire, opening June 1. Michael Pare, Diane Lane, and SCTV alum Rick Moranis star. In late June or early July, Universal will unveil two sci-fifantasy films. The Last Starfighter, with Robert Preston, is about good guys, bad guys, and a cosmic video 'BTH' DROP SITES Post Office R.O.T.C. F.L.O.B. Granville South Bus Stop Brauer Granville East Coker .

Conan the Destroyer, a sequel to Conan the Barbarian, is about good guys, bad guys, and rippling muscles. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Grace Jones, and Wilt Chamberlain (yep, Wilt Chamberlain) star. Cloak and Dagger, a fantasy adventure opening August 17, stars Henry Thomas (Elliot in E.T.) and Dabney Coleman. Richard Franklin (Psycho II) directs. Universal's last summer release is Stick, opening August 24. This action film stars Candice Bergen, Charles Durning, and Burt Reynolds, who also directs. Reynolds shows up again in Warner Brothers' Cannonball Run II, opening June 29, Shirley MacLaine, Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin also star. Warner's other summer releases are eagerly-awaited. Gremlins, about a bunch of cuddly but dangerous creatures, opens June 8. Steven Spielberg is involved in this project as pro ducer, so naturally Operation Media Blitz will go into effect. The talented Joe Dante (The Road Warrior, segment four of Twilight Zone The Movie) directs. The portentous Supergirl, a spinoff of the Superman series, lands in theaters July 13. Faye Dunaway, Mia Farrow and Peter O'Toole star. Newcomer Helen Slater is Supergirl. Last, and certainly by all means least, is Columbia, whose upcoming features ap pear about as interesting as door hinges. Hardbodies (opening May 1 1), The New Kids (July 13) and Sheena, Queen of the Jungle (August 17) are about buttocks on a beach, nothing of particular interest, and Tanya Roberts semi-nude, respectively. Fortunately, though, two Columbia films show glimmers of hope. The first, The Karate Kid, concerns a high school student's efforts to better himself amongst harsh surroundings. Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita (formerly of TV's Happy Days) star. The other is Ghostbusters, opening June 8. Bill Murray and Dan Akroyd are small-time ghost-hunters, who, lo and behold, save the world or so the publici ty posters proclaim. Sigourney Weaver (Alien, Eyewitness) and Harold Ramis (Stripes but don't hold that against him) also star.
