flicks, Wayne westerns and war
movies.
Verhoeven does his RoboCop num-
ber on corporate inanity (parodied via
TV news, computers and military
recruitment ads). He tosses in a
boy/girl team shower that is down-
right jolly. He has "our" troops swag-
a ger in post-Nazi uniforms that will
probably make Arnold
Schwarzenegger toss out his whole
wardrobe.
The film's style is a blasting hash of
Heinlein, Riefenstahl, Ayn Rand and
Aaron Spelling (so many fabulous
cheekbones). The story gets some
adrenaline cooking, but it's a depres-
sive high. Nothing matters except
killing bugs. After they're dead, we
sense that humanity will have lost all
reason to continue — extermination
culture is all we've got.
When the humongous mother bug
is caught, and winces and suffers, it is
weirdly the most touching moment in
the film. Her "acting" via effects is
more effective than any of the
humans.
But, hey, nuke her! Rated R.

THE ICE STORM
The Ice Storm has a sprig of luck. It
comes right after the enervated The
Myth of Fingerprints. By contrast, its
own Thanksgiving-holiday noshing on
the turkey of middle-class discontent
is much tastier.
Mg Lee directed with the care of
someone carving a fine bird, the care
he showed with The Wedding Banquet
and Sense and Sensibility. Lee doesn't
drool away his classy cast the way
Brad Freundlich did with Fingerprints.
Shot by Frederick Elmes, the film is
wonderfully textured, with a rich feel
for suburban Connecticut as winter
belts it with a storm and even the
trains freeze up.
All the early-'70s details are in
place: the horrid clothing, water beds,
LPs, Erica Jong on the book pile, a
"groovy" minister who boasts of "dis-
organized religion," trendy "key par-
ties" for spouse-swapping, talk about
the Symbionese Liberation Army, and
(the topper, of course) Dick Nixon . on
TV baritoning baloney, trying to
squirm from Watergate as if he'd
checked into the wrong hotel by mis-
take.
James Schamus' adaptation of the
novel by Rick Moody is full of ping-
ing, ringing dialogue, often quite
funny. The structure is simple, nearly
primitive — scenes of two neighbor-
