morose turkey. Color this one disappointing, too. As we've observed in so many of Scorsese's movies, he seems to believe that people just ain't no good. So we get a strange thing here. The film is ostensibly about the regenera- tion of Fast Eddie (Newman) as he tries to teach the tricks of the trade to a high-spirited kid (Cruise). But what we get is a very depressing insight into a sleazy world where the people are pretty rotten. C'mon Scor- sese, lighten up! Crocodile Dundee (rated: PG-13) This was my big sur- prise. I went reluctantly. And for the first 20 minutes or so I thought I had indeed made a mistake. Girl reporter from New York goes to Australia to interview the "Croc" in the Au- ssie outback. They trek; she's gutsy but foolhardy, he's brave and laid back. It was all rather predictable. But then the picture flips. Girl reporter takes the "Croc" back to New York. And while relatively predictable from this point on, too, it's a lot more charming and a lot more fun. Nothing in this comic fan- tasy will tax your brain. But it should tickle your funny-bone in a modest way. Don't be put off by its huge success. (It's taken in more at the box office than any foreign film, ever.) It is a most pleasant confection. Blue Veluet (rated: R) If you can still catch this on its way out of the Detroit area, you should. It's a very dark comedy-mystery-adventure laced with liberal doses of sadomasochism, blood and vio- lence. Nice wholesome boy living the good-old-fashioned clean life finds an ear in a field on the way home from school one day. This detached human remnant proves to be his key to the dark underside of his Andy-Hardy- type town. The "bad woman" he meets in the nether world is played by Isabella Rossellini. The re- semblance in face and voice to her mother, Ingrid Bergman, is startling. And she shows lots of promise. Along with lots of skin. Dennis Hopper is wonderful as a drug crazed thug. I took the whole thing in a non- realistic way as a myth, so the violence, which usually turns me off, didn't get through to me. If you're queasy, you may want to exercise caution.
