ppenings The Michigan Daily-Friday, November 1, 1977-Page 7 EVENTS and ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE WEEK OF NOV. 11-17 0 all wee k COMMERCIAL CINEMA Annie Iall and Love and Death (Campus), Woedy Allen's last two films, are also his best. More good jokes here than Mel Brooks has made in his life. Superb. **** Fantasia (State) Splendid, un- equaled animation - cartoons made lyrical.) Beethoven's Sixth and the Rites of Spring are cut to ribbons, but this film is nevertheless a landmark. New York, New York (Michigan) Martin Scorcese's tribute-satire of the '40s in the eyes of Hollywood has good original music, many splendid performances 'and moments, yet there's something inexplicably lack- luster about the whole thing. *** Heroes (Fifth Forum) Henry Wink- ler stars in this stirring remake of Bergman's The Seventh Seal. With Sally Field as Death.'*** A Piece of the Action Fox Village) A reasonably entertaining action comedy, directed by and starring Sidney Poitier. * Star-Wars (Briarwood) Neat. *** Looking For Mr. Goodbar (Briar- wood) An excellent performance by Diane Keaton fails to provide this film with any coherent meaning. Some interesting scenes, but on the whole, not what it could have been. Bobby Deerfield (Briarwood) An ostensibly "adult" romance, but there's a good deal less here than meets the eye. Al Pacino and Marthe Keller. Lethargic. ** Oh, God! (Briarwood) We're tired of insulting this movie. Write your own pan. *% friday November 11 CINEMA. Knife in the Water (Old A&D, 7:00 and 9:05) Roman Polanski's first directorial effort is at once a vivid suspense drama and a lucid, probing parable of sexual rivalry. **** Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (Angell Aud A, 7:00 and 9:00) This Frank Capra film is one pure enjoy- ment. Jimmy Stewart won an Oscar for irs portrayal of a young senator who4 res to take on the biggies. n* G spell (Nat. Sci. Aud., 7:30 and 9:,30 Jesus Christ Superstar is one thing, but this gushy, revolting piece of pseudo-religious garbage makes us long for the Living Bible. Don't go right after eating.* .Modern Times (First Presbyterian Church, 8:00, free) Chaplin's well- known commentary on society. EVENTS Dance - "Bites - A Dance Work" presented by the Dance Department of the School of Music. 8:00, School of Music._ Distinguished Faculty Series - "China in the Last Quarter of the 20th Centry" a lecture by Dr. Albert Feur- werker of the Center for Chinese htudies.

Linda Ronstadt - nothing need be said about this superstar of the rock world. 8:00, Crisler Arena. saturday November 12 CINEMA Women in Love (MLB 3, 7:00 and 9:15) rhis Ken Russell film has some semblance of normalcy, but brilliant photography and a superb perform- ance by Glenda Jackson can't com- pensate for the annoyingly superfi- cial. treatment of the D.H. Lawrence novel. An interesting, yet ultimately shallow production. ** WR: Mysteries of the Organism (Old A&D, 7:00 and 9:05) Serbo- Croation goulash of sex and politics from the director of Sweet Movie. Sometimes funny, more often simply bizarre.** A Streetcar Named Desire (Angell Aud. A, 7:00 and 9:15) Never were the southern nights steamier, the southern belles more faded, or Brando more brilliantly neanderthal than in Elia Kazan's brilliant adapta- tion of Tennessee Williams' play. They don't come better. **** The Longest Yard (Nat. Sci. Aud., 7:15 and 9:30) A surprisingly enter- taining story of football behind bars. Starring Mr. Wonderful, Burt Rey- nolds. *** Enter the Dragon (Couzen's Cafe- teria, 8:00 and 10:90) One of Bruce Lee's best.

A, 7:00 and 10:20) A quietly ex- cellent film, filled with marvelous locales and characters. Splendidly unified and often disturbing. Jack Nicholson in his one non-macho role. * * * Drive, He Said (Angell Aud. A, 8:45' only) Jack Nicholson directed this interesting story of the conflicts sur- rounding a college basketball star. Great performances by Bruce Dern and Karen Black. ** Wings (Old A&D, 8:00 only, free showing) A silent spectacular, star- ring Gary Cooper and Clara Bow. Some great aerial stunt sequences. EVENTS thursday November 17 CINEMA Spirits of the Dead (Angell Aud. A, 7:00 only) The combined talents of Edgar Allen Poe, Federico Fellini, Louis Malle, Roger Vadim, Jane Fonda and Brigitte Bardot amount to a high-class European version of "The Munsters." Check it out. *** They Came From Within (Angell, Aud. A, 9:00 only) A sickening, point- less shocker. Avoid at all costs. * Wagon Master (Old A&D, 7:00 and 9:05) An excellent John Ford film, following the journey of a wagon train across the country.

A, 7:00 only) This early Francis Ford Coppola film is supposedly the director's personal favorite, but it's hard to understand why. The depic- tion of a woman who gets fed up with married life is trite, and often very dull.*% Alex in Wonderland (Angell Aud. A, 9:00 only) Director Paul Mazursky (Harry and Tonto) combines cump- tion and flare to bring off this sort-of-remake of Fellini's 81/. The result is a fascinating film, even if one doesn't go for Mazursky's'quicky humorous approach. Starring Donald Sutherland, with a cameo by Fellini.
