7, 9:30; F&S 12am)
THE BIG EASY
Dennis Quai'd is the young New
Orleans lieutenant who is being
investigated by D.A. Ellen Barkin
for police corruption. The heavy
accents and the off-beat music, like
Cajun food, all take getting used to.
But once you do, it's easy to get
swept up in the excitement. Intense
and erotic. At State. (all week--5
and 9 only)
BIG SHOTS
A protected white suburban boy
teams up with a street-smart black

MY LIFE AS A DOG
A pleasant surprise from
Sweden; a young child in a poor
family tries to cope with life. At
State. (all week--2 and 7 only)
9 1/2 WEEKS
It borders on pornography, and
that's okay, as long as there's a
story to tell. And there is; Kim
Basinger, entranced into Mickey
Rourke's sadistic world, tries to free
herself from it. Some of the most
incredibly erotic scenes to date can't
make up for the lack of clarity in
the story. We're mostly concerned
here about the story, right? Well...
At State. (F&S 11pm)
NEAR DARK
Erotic horror film about modern
day vampires roaming the night
highways for eternity. Great visual
imagery by director Kathryn
Bigelow, but who wants to look at
pretty pictures when there's blood
all over the screen? At State (all

F&S 11:15)

be covered up. Gene Hackman and
Sean Young co-star. At Briarwood.
(all week--l0, 12:25, 2:45, 5, 7:20,
9:50)
OFF-SPRING
The ad for this horror film reads,
"The birth of your worst
nightmare..." Perhaps the best
argument for abortion we have.
Opens at State. (all week--2:15,
5:30, 7:30, 9:30; F&S 11:30)

Molly Ringwald, who vowed

9:30; F&S 11:30)
STAKEOUT
An idea that sounds like it
belongs more on a sitcom than the
big screen--two men on a stakeout
become involved with their subject-
-produces unexpected laughs. A
holdout from the summer worth

and Emilio Estevez. At Fox
Village. (all week-- 12, 2:15, 4:30,
7, 9:20; F&S 12am)
