SUDDEN IMPACT Clint Eastwood is back again as (no, not an aspiring ballerina) that machoest of men Dirty Harry. "So goeth then ahead, and make mee daye:" Chaucer. TERMSOF ENDEARMENT A widow (Shirley MacLaine), tries to settle some of the confusing points of a mother/daughter relationship with her daughter (Debra Winger). MOVIES AT BRIARWOOD THE DRESSER A critically appealing drama turns around a pair of actors wrestling to interpret Shakespeare. Oc- casionally very intense. EDUCATING RITA No, not nearly as steamy as it sounds. Actually an entertaining story of a woman in the throws of education. FOOTLOOSE A modern cultural thing viviantly expressing American youth's predilection for freedom. A possible successor to Flashdance. HARRY AND SON. Paul Newman (girls sigh) returns to star in, direct, co-produce, and co-write this potentially ap- pealing melodrama. Robby Benson co-stars. SILKWOOD Karen Silkwood discovers disturbing things about her plutonium plant. When she attempts to expose them, she mysteriously dies in a car accident. CA 1214 S. University; 668-6416 BLAME-IT O N RIO Siskel blamed the director, though Ehbart felt the end of this seductive flirt-flick justified the means. But who knows where their thumbs have been, anyways. FOX-VILLAGE THEATER Maple Village; 769-1300 ANGEL High school honor student by day, happy hooker at night: oh, that ubiquitous angel. Not recommended role-model material. GORKY PARK Can a jaded Russian agent detective save Russia and the girl he loves from an international smuggling scheme?

All genres from animated to narrative to documentary will be represented, and the spread in quality will probably be almost as wide. Be sure to see at least one of the preliminary rounds. Each of them is different, and the best will be shown again on Winner's Night Sun- day. (Cinema Guild; Michigan Theatre, 7:00, 9:00, 11:00) BURDEN OF DREAMS (Les Blanc) All about the making of Fitzcarroldo, which will be shown immediately afterward. The story behind that film is such a great one that many think this is better, (Alternative Action; MLB 3,7:00) FITZCARROLDO (Werner Herzog, 1982) Herzog probably went a little crazy filming this epic set in the Amazon, which deals with a man's wish to provide the rain forest with an opera house. (Alternative Action; MLB 3,9:00) THE ROAD WARRIOR (George Miller, 1982) Mel gibson reprises his role of Mad Max in another post-nuclear holocaust film set in the Australian out- back. Gibson gets caught in the crossfire between survivors and outlaws. Surprisingly well-received by critics. (Ann Arbor Film Coop; Aud. A, 7:00, 10:20) MAD MAX (George Miller, 1980) Mel Gibson in his first action-packed movie about a post-holocaust Australia where you have to keep a careful eye out for some very violence-prone sur- vivors. (Ann Arbor Film Coop; Aud. A, 8:40) ALL THAT JAZZ (Bob Fosse, 1979) Fosse made a very personal film-about an ob- sessed director who likes pills and dying. The ap- proving tone with which death is viewed makes the film difficult to like, but the fine technical end makes the film difficult to ignore. Draw your own con- tlusions. (Mediatrics; MLB 4,7:00,9:15) THE STING (George Roy Hill, 1973) "The Entertainer" is the perfect title song for this look at two con men (Robert Redford and Paul Newman) who decide to make one big con for revenge, because the film is so entertaining. This Best Picture is just a pleasant way to spend an evening. (Cinema 2; Lorch Hall, 7:00,9:20) from biblical times on. Elizabeth Taylor also provides some narration. (Hill Street Cinema; 1429 Hill, 7:30, 9:30) MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL (Terry Gilliam & Terry Jones, 1975) Not the funniest work by the British comedy troupe, but the unusual look at the Camelot legends is plenty funny all the same. The opening credits are probably the highlight. (Alternative Action; MLB 3, 7:00,8:45,10:30) PINK PANTHER CARTOONS A few of the animated cartoons featuring that devilishly cute panther precede the live action movies with Peter Sellers. (mediatrics; MLB 4, 7:00, 9:00) A SHOT IN THE DARK (Blake Edwards, 1964) The second Pink Panther movie stars Peter Sellers as the hilariously inept Inspector Closeau. Elke Summer is wonderful as the French maid he encoun- ters in his bumbles through Paris. (Mediatrics; MLB 4,7:15) THE RETURN OF THE PINK PANTHER (Blake Edwards, 1975) The Pink Panther crew returns after an 11-year absence. Peter Sellers plays Closeau.

(Mediatrics; MLB 4,9:15) TRADING PLACES (John Landis, 1983) Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd get mixed in with a bet on nature vs. nurture, and then decide to get some revenge. The stuff is funny. (Cinema 2; Lorch Hall, 7:00,9:00) DR. NO (Terence Young, 1962) Sean Connery inthe very first James Bond movie. He heads to Jamaica and finds Ursula Andress, and they battle the evil Dr. No. A pleasure to watch, like most every Bond movie. (Ann Arbor Film Coop; Aud. A,7:00) FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE (Terence Young, 1963) Connery plays Bond for the second time. One of the worst title songs, but just about everything else is top-notch Bond, as he has to escort some top-secret something to freedom. If only it wasn't a trap. (Ann Arbor Film Coop; Aud. A, 9:00) TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT (Howard Hawks, 1944) Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, with Bacall making her screen debut. The story is from a Hemingway novel about war-time intrigue on the high seas. (Classic Film Theatre; Michigan Theatre, 7:00) THE BIG SLEEP (Howard Hawks, 1946) Bogart plays Phillip Marlowe.

Alas, the families do not approve. French with sub- titles. (Classic Film Theatre; Michigan Theatre, 7:00) MURMUR OF THE HEART (Louis Malle, 1971) The director of Atlantic City concludes a double- feature about interfamilial love. This time, a woman is attracted to her teen age son. French with sub- titles.
