Background: Escoffier. ANN ARBOR THEATER 210 S.5th; 761-9700 CARMEN No, not the opera, but a purportedly good film adaptation. Music, bigger than life, and cinematography above and beyond most traditional operas. LIQUID SKY When you're looking for dinner in the Big Apple, you probably don't think of heroin and orgasms. You're not an alien in a barbeque, though. This negative approach to post-punk cinema, seriously, is so far the: film of '84. MOVIES AT BRIARWOOD Briarwood Mall; 769-8780 AGAINST ALL ODDS Not nearly so existential as some have said, but quite intriguing, especially to those with a strong in- terest. THE DRESSER Not furniture, but rather Tom Courtenay, who plays Skakespearian actor's Albert Finney's "dresser." One of this year's more artistic efforts. FOOTLOOSE A modern cultural thing viviantly expressing American youth's predilection for freedom. A possible successor to Flashdance. MISUNDERSTOOD A recently completed film treating an ephemeral and often sequencious trepidation of existence tem- porally coinciding with an interesting denounient. Occasionally mauve and very taupe. ROMANCING THE STONE Kathleen Turner (Body Heat . . .) and Michael Douglas star in "this action-packed" adventure film trailing through underdeveloped territory. Some people have not compared it to Raiders of the Lost Ark. CAMPUS THEATER 1214 S. University; 668-6416 GREYSTOKE Inspired probably not by a lack of previous inter- pretations, this movie again recreates the Tarzar myth of Edgar Rice Burr'oughs. the proceedings. See it. (Ann Arbor Film Coop; MLB 4 7-00,9:15) FOX-VILLAGE THEATER Maple.Village; 769-1300 TERMS OF ENDEARMENT A widow (Shirley MacLaine), tries to settle some of the confusing points of a mother/daughter relationship with her daughter (Debra Winger). ICE PIRATES Star Wars may have had seven good years, but it seems that its luck has run out. It's called a "space comedy," but parody may be closer to the mark. REUBEN REUBEN Tom Conti cuts an erotic swath through the college lecture curcuit as a philandering poet just trying to earn a buck. Co-eds, housewives, and the east-coast atmosphere combine to stimulate his creativity. STA'] 231$.
