Sophomore From Associated Press reports : ; ARLINGTON, Texas Don Cruse doesn't quite understand what all the excitement is about all he did was score a perfect 1,600 on the Scholastic Aptitude Test. "There really is no secret," said Cruse, a junior at Martin High School. '.The test includes material that's cov ered in class. And I have to study just like other students. I'm just not used to all this attention." But test administrators and Arling ton school officials said the 16-year- Sea thriller From Associated Press reports - In "Dead Calm," now available on -Warner Home Video for $89.95, the sea can be sinister or serene. For John and Rae Ingram, it's both. ' After the death of their only child, killed in a car crash that almost claims the mother as well, the couple takes to the high seas in their ketch to mend their emotions and soothe their lives. They are becalmed somewhere in the Pacific the movie is an Austra lian production when they suddenly spot a dinghy whose passenger is fran tically rowing away from a listing schooner. This is the starting point for "Dead Calm," a thriller played out by only three characters, with the sea as its only setting. Such containment can often stifle a film, making it claustrophobic and slow. Here, however, the closeness adds to the story's inherent tension. r" The stranger, HughieWarriner (Billy Zane), tells the Ingrams a bizarre tale: jHis shipmates have all died from food -poisoning, the engine and radio conked ijout and he was left with the corpses in a becalmed sea. Hence his manic be havior and eagerness not to go back to the ship. I John (Sam Neill), a naval officer, !;doesn't believe him and rows over to -the injured ship. Before leaving he tells Rae (Nicole Kidman) to take the rifle -out of a locker in the cockpit and to use r it if necessary. As John unravels the terror that -happened on the schooner, Rae begins I; her own nightmarish journey. Hughie -is a psychopath who has killed all on board the other ship. He makes Rae his Captive and sets sail, leaving John pre sumably to die. For anyone who sails, "Dead Calm" is a scary notion. But it suffers from a flawed script. Why, for example, is it necessary to set up the story with the death of their child? It is soon forgotton and serves no purpose other than to establish a lengthy holiday for the par ents, who could have taken the trip for any reason, including a happy one.

Cruse was one of only 14 students in the nation who achieved a perfect score on the SAT during the 1988-89 school year. The national average score was 903. And while most students wait until their senior year to take the college entrance exam, Cruse did it as a sopho more. Cruse's class schedule this semester includes Latin U, pre-calculus, phys ics, English, history and biology. All newly released on video Rae, who is equally suspicious of Hughie, does not immediately take out the rifle, even though she constantly eyes the locker. Still, the excitement is there as John uses his wits, body and experience to get the schooner under way, and to manually empty the bilge before the boat sinks. Nicole Kidman, a young Australian actress, offers a fresh sensuality. She is determined and keeps her wits. Her final solution to the Hughie problem is a great moment on film. B ased on the Charles Williams' book by the same name, "Dead Calm" is produced by George Miller ("Mad Max," "The Witches of Eastwick") and directed by Phillip Noyce. There's some excellent photography by Dean Semler of the waters off the Great Barrier Reef, as well as good sailing footage. "Dead Calm" is rated R for violence, nudity and a brief sexual encounter. On 'Tequila Sunrise," on Warner Home Video for $89.95, the Los Ange les horizon never looked so good. Even on the small screen, its amber and ruby glow inspires. And that's the good news. The bad news is that 'Tequila Sun rise" crawls along with an excellent cast and a plot that could make a lot more than it does of drug dealing, a romantic triangle and a triple cross. Treasure found From Associated Press reports CHARLESTON, S.C. Salvagers off the South Carolina coast mined a sunken steamship for its riches Mon day in what one coin expert called "the greatest American treasure trove ever.' ' About 400 gold coins were recov ered Monday from the SS Central America, a 1 9th century paddle-wheeler that lies 8,000 feet below the surface, said Bob Evans, science and history director of Columbus-America Discov ery Group.

He told The Dallas Morning News he was thinking about going to Harvard to be a pre-law major, and he's happy he doesn't have to take the SAT again. "I can concentrate on some other things now," he said. The SAT is a 2-hour multiple-choice test that measures verbal and mathe matical reasoning. Scores are reported on a scale of 200 to 800 for each portion of the test. About 1 .8 million high school students took it during the last school year. Mel Gibson, once one of the city's top drug dealers, has retired from the business, much to the chagrin of local police authorities who will do anything to still nail him. But no one really wants Gibson to quit not the cops, not his old con tacts, not his customers. His old high school and surfing buddy, Kurt Russell, is a narcotics cop and he's out to get Gibson anyway he can. That includes luring Michelle Pfeiffer, a restaurant owner he suspects is involved professionally and person ally with Gibson, into bed. Then there's Raul Julia, the big-time Mexican drug connection who poses as a top government crime fighter. Gibson finds himself in two triangles: one with the ruthless Julia on one side and Russell and crooked federal agents on the other, and one with Russell and Pfeiffer. It's a talky movie with little action. But the cinematography is great. The actors do their best with muddled characterizations. Gibson is likeable and watchable but needs more flesh in his dialogue. Russell is very GQ. Pfeiffer is a beautiful, understated class act. As for the title, Gibson drinks a te quila sunrise (orange juice, lime, grena dine and tequila) every now and then in the movie. So much for bartending 101. off S.C. coast cated the wreck three years ago, has retrieved more than 1,000 coins, many from the California Gold Rush, Evans said in a ship-to-shore telephone inter view with The Associated Press. "It's kind of a childhood fantasy," like Treasure Island, Evans said. The Central America sank during a hurricane Sept. 12, 1857, as it traveled from Panama to New 'York. It was carrying a monthly shipment of gold from the San Francisco Mint to New York banks. The wreck claimed 425 lives; 153 people survived. iMlolpi isIaIhi It 1 1 Ta IG lol 1 2 3 4 15 li 7 8 9 I 110 111 12 13 14 IT" " 16 l7 XtT 19 """ " 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 " 2?" 29 " 30 " mmm 31 32 33" 34 " 35 36 ' 37 M """ 39 40 TT" "" 42 1 43 44 45 Ue "" 4T" 48 49" SO 151 52 57 iSS 59 60 1 I I I" I I I l I 82 TT LheAds: NOON One business day prior to HRitiggg&siM' When paying by VISA or MasterCard: 1.
