In the end the film ends up totemizing Mozart with all the same excessive and pompous empty praise it originally sets out to super- sede. You can, if you want, just close your eyes and enjoy the score. 8:45 at the Movies as Briarwood, Briarwood mall. BEVERLY HILLS COP Eddie Murphy goes through his usual fast jiving, smart ass routines (albeit a little more whitewashed) in a comedy/thriller about a Detroit police detective who goes to California in search of his friend's murderer. This is clearly Murphy's vehicle, an open forum for him to improvise in front of the camera while the rest of the cast just stands there and plays it straight. Murphy's antics are lowbrow but his naturally likable presence and fast timing make for some easy, lightweight giggles, though you're always very conscious how shabbily slapped together the whole movie is. 7:00 and 9:30 at the Movies at Briarwood, Briarwood Mall. THE BREAKFAST CLUB Writer-director John Hughes (Sixteen Candles) takes a rather bleak look at coming of age in modern suburbia. The film is about five kids locked together in their high school library on a Saturday afternoon detention. It starts out as a sit-com, but gradually the kids drop their guards and begin to explore each others mutual fears and prejudices. To Hughes, and the kids in the film, adolescence is eternal hell, - they're oppressed by their parents, their teachers, and most of all by their own peers. Hughes digs up a ters so stero tv , Ycd t v ' SJUVC sy ones feelings to explore. A flawed but still strangely com- pelling film. At the State Theater, 231 State St.; 662- 6264.

FAST FORWARD Another "new musical", this one concerns a group of teenage dancers from Sandusky, Ohio who travel to New York to participate in a national talent con- test.

THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY An African bushman sees an empty Coke bottle tossed out of a passing airplane fall to earth at his feet, and assuming it to be the lost property of the gods, decides to go about returning it. This African import is technically very crude, but is the most ingeniously funny and charming comic gem since Woody Allen's early features. Pure, undiluted laughs, a very rare and special treat whose growing cult popularity is easily understandable. 7:10 and 9:30, at the Movies at Briarwood, Briarwood Mall. HEAVEN HELP US Yet another coming of age comedy set in the six- ties, this one situated in a parochial school. Features a cast of young unknows but with cameos by Donald auteriand, John Heard, and Wallace Shawn. At the Fox village Theater, 375 N. Maple. 769-1300. THE KILLING FIELDS Unfocused but at times very powerful film about a New York Times correspondent (played by Sam Waterson) and his Cambodian assistant Haing S. Ngor) who are trapped in Cambodia during the Kh- mer Rouge's genocidal revolution of 1975. For his fir- st feature, director Roland Joffe, keeps a clean, tight control over each individual secenes, but lacks a crucial overall sense for structure and the film flounders toward the end. Still, it's a very worth- while, important film. Ann Arbor Theater, 210 S. Fif- th Ave. MARTIN'S DAY No information available at presstime. At the Movies at Briarwood, Briarwood Mall; 769-8780.
