What's happening in
Ann Arbor this weekend
THE ABYSS
E.T. under the sea? Whatever it
is, it's big. Special effects galore
and an Alien-like theme combine in
this expensive rescue of a
submarine over five miles below
the deep blue sea. Rated PG-13. At
Fox Village Theaters. (F- 7:00,
9:45; S, Su- 1:00, 4:00, 7:00,
9:45; F & S 12:00 a.m.; M, T,
Th- 7:00, 9:45; W- 1:00, 7:00,
9:45.) At Showcase Cinemas, 1:15,
7:15, 9:55, 12:25.
BLACK RAIN
Michael Douglas, who went
from the Streets of San Francisco
to the top of Wall Street, is now on
his way to the rough Tokyo
underworld to track down an escaped
killer. Kate Capshaw co-stars in the
latest film from director Ridley
Scott. Rated R. At Briarwood (all
week - 12:00, 1:00, 2:30, 3:30,
5:00, 6:00, 7:30, 8:30, 10:00,
11:30). At Showcase (all week -
1:00, 1:30, 7:10, 7:30, 9:45,
10:00, 12:05 a.m., 12:20 a.m.).
CAGE
Lou Ferrigno, who wowed and
amazed us as the Incredible Hulk
comes to the big screen. This time,
he's a Vietnam vet who gets
involved in a bloody and brutal
sport called cage fighting, what
else. Should be a double feature
with Kickboxer, maybe? Rated R.
At Showcase, 12:45, 7:40, 9:35,
11:45.
DEAD POETS SOCIETY
Robin Williams returns from
Vietnam to an Ivy league,
conservative prep school to teach
his way. The old stiff collared
administration hate him, but the
kids eat him up. Rated PG. At
Showcase Cinemas (all week -
7:35, 10:05, 12:20).
DO THE RIGHT THING
Spike Lee, the controversial,
low budget loving director returns
for another film that speaks of
racial attitudes and tensions. A t
Ann Aror I & II- F, M, T, W,
Th- 5:00, 7:15, 9:30; S, Su-
12:30, 2:45, 5:00, 7:15, 9:30.
HONEY, I SHRUNK THE
KIDS
What else would you expect to
happen when you make Rick
Moranis a wacky scientist working
on a new revolutionary invention.
I guess it looks better to the people
at Disney than Honey, I murdered
the Kids. At Showcase Cinemas,
all week- 12:15.
INDIANA JONES AND THE
LAST CRUSADE
The third film in Steven
Spielberg's adventure saga of
Indiana Jones, the brash
archaeologist in the 1930s, has a
pleasant twist-Sean Connery, as
Jones' dad. Loads of fun and stunts
here, but nothing more than a good
carbon copy of Raiders. At Fox
Village Theater. (F- 7:00, 9:30;
S, Su- 12:00, 2:30, 4:40, 7:00,
9:30; F & S, 12:00 a.m.; M, T,
W, Th- 7:00, 9:30; W- also
1:00 p.m.)
KICKBOXER
Jean-Claude Van Damme is a
man on his way to being compared
with Chuck Norris, though it may
be several movies off. The
Bloodsport star is now a kickboxer
and I hear he's pretty good at it.
Rated R. At Showcase, 12:40,
7:45, 9:50, 12:00 a.m.
LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
David Lean's epic masterpiece
returns to the silver screen, bigger
and better than ever. A multi
acadamy award winner, the reissue
of Lawrence has had the film world
giddy for the past year, but bring
lot's of popcorn, it's a long ride. At
Fox Village Theater. F- 8:00; S
& Su- 12:00, 4:00, 8:00; M, T,
Th- 7:30; W- 1:00, 7:30.
LETHAL WEAPON II
Violence, violence, and more
violence. Mel Gibson and Danny
Glover return to the streets once
again to find new and creative ways
to waste criminals. Rated R with
warning labels. At Showcase Cin-
emas. (All week- 12:15, 7:45,
10:00, 12:15.). At Biarwood,
12:15, 4:30, & 9:10.
THE NAVIGATOR
Dreamlike medieval fantasy in
which a young boy leads an
expedition into the future. See
review on Page 5.
At Ann Arbor 1 & 2, F, M, T,
W, Th- 5:15,7:30, 9:20; S, Su
- 1:15, 3:15, 5:15, 7:30, 9:20.
THE PACKAGE
Gene Hackman is a cop with
one job: transport Tommy Lee
Jones, an international criminal to
justice. But of course, things go
wrong, and Gene has to save the
day before Tommy does something
dumb. Rated R. At Briarwood,
2:30, 7:00, 11:40.
PARENTHOOD
Steve Martin, Rick Moranis,
Diane Wiest, and Jason Robards-
all struggling with their crazy and
wonderful kids and their crazy and
wonderful selves. From director
Ron Howard. Rated PG-13. At
Briarwood, 12:00,2:20,4:40, 7:00,
9:30, 11:45. At Showcase
Cinemas, 12:05, 7:25, 9:50, 12:25
a.m.
ROCKY HORROR PIC-
TURE SHOW
You've seen it a few dozen
times. You've been showered with
rice. You know all the lines and
scream them out with everyone
else. It's that old cult favorite,
nearly 15 years old, but still going
strong. At Briarwood, F & S-
11:15.
SEA OF LOVE
Flash, dash, and the return of Al
Pacino. He's on the trail of a serial
murderer in New York. Also
starring Ellen Barkin and John
Goodman. Rated R. At Showcase
Cinemas, 12:25, 7:30, 9:55, 12:10
a.m. At Briarwood, 12:00, 2:20,
4:45, 7:00, 9:30, 11:45.
SEX, LIES, AND VIDEO-
TAPE
An all new, totally innovative
film, it won top honors at Caanes
Film Festival. James Spader and
Andie MacDowell star in this
"conversation" film, low budget,
but high on controversy and
interest. At Showcase Cinemas (all
week -12:10, 7:20, 9:45, 12:00
a.m.; and at Briarwood (all week -
12:15, 2:15, 4:30, 7:15, 9:20,
11:20.)
TURNER AND HOOCH
Benji with a twist-this dog's
ugly as hell and he foams at the
mouth more than any dog in movie
history. Co-stars Micheal Keaton as
the cop whose house is redecorated
by Hooch. Rated PG. At Showcase
Cinemas (all week - 12:30, 7:20,
9:25, 11:30).
UNCLE BUCK
You've read the book, now see
the movie. He's a man for all
seasons, an example for us all-
he's John Candy, who else? The
free-wheeling bachelor comes home
to take care of his nephew and
nieces. Rated PG. At Fox Village
Theater, F- 7:15, 9:15; S, Su-
12:00, 2:00, 4:15, 7:15, 9:15; F &

7:15, 9:15, W- also 1:00 p.m. At
Showcase Cinemas, 12:35, 7:25,
9:40, 11:40.
WHEN HARRY MET
SALLY
Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan
start a cross county- ten year
relationship that makes personality
conflicts look like an epidemic.
Predictable, but sentimental, some
funny moments, some forgetful
ones. Rated PG. At Briarwood,
12:00, 2:00, 4:00, 7:00, 9:00. At
Showcase Cinemas, 12:45, 7:40,
9:45, 11:55.
