COVER ART: ANDY DAVIS
First Run Film
Always
Positively dreadful dreck from
Spielberg, about firefighters in
love. Holly Hunter acts lost, and
Richard Dreyfuss acts
ingratiating. At Briarwood: 12,
2:30, 5, 7:30, 9:50, midnight;
Showcase:12:10, 2:30, 4:55, 7:25,
10:05, 12:20
Back to the Future 11
In this inferior sequel, Marty
McFly (Michael J. Fox) checks
out the future. This movie just
rehashes the old one - if that's
your bag, fine. At Fox: 7, 9:15;
Showcase:12:15, 2:25, 4:45,7:20

Born on the Fourth of July
Tom Cruise shines in this
powerful but ultimately flawed
story of paralyzed Vietnam vet
Ron Kovic, directed by Oliver
Stone. See it for the good parts;
groan through the dull ones. At
Briarwood: 1, 4, 7, 9:50, 12:15;
Showcase:1, 4, 7:15, 10
Driving Miss Daisy

winning play. Directed by Bruce
Beresford. At Showcase: 12:05,
2:20, 4:25, 7:30, 9:30, 11:35
Flashback
Dennis Hopper as a hippie -
such inspired casting! Looks like
it's going to be another sickening
exploitation of a once proud
decade, but let's be fair, since no
one's seen it yet. Yes, it's a neato
SNEAK PREVIEW. At Fox, 7:30
Saturday.
Glory
Matthew Broderick, Morgan
Freeman, and Denzel
Washington star in this elaborate
chronicle of the 54th
Massachusetts Regiment, the first
Black regiment in the Civil War,

heart out, Olivier. At Ann Arbor 1

show Sat. and Sun.

9:50, midnight; Showcase:12:45,
2:40, 5, 7:45, 9:50, 11:50
Leatherface
Gruesome gore, Texas-style. As
Heather Chandler would say,
"Fuck me gently with a
chainsaw." At Showcase:7:35,
9:55, 12
The Little Mermaid
Groovy cool Disney flick,
featuring a little mutant girl, a
crab, and a squid named Ursula.
It's got nice music, too. At
Showcase: 12, 2, 4, 6.
Look Who's Talking
John Travolta rises from the dead
to star in this comedy, which

Show

Roger & Me
You've read the paeans; now see
the movie. See live rabbits

boarded-up streets of Flint, a lint

7:20, 9:40, 12
Ski Patrol

deigned to send the Daily any
info about it - but it's playing at
two theaters, so it has to be good.
At Fox: 9:30
Born on the Fourth of July
Steel Magnolias
A noteworthy cast does not
necessarily a good film make, but
if you're into names like Shirley
MacLaine, Dolly Parton and
Daryl Hannah, you might get into
this story of Southern women. At

9:30; Showcase: 12:45, 10, 12:15
Tango & Cash
Not a companion to Roger & Me;,
this one has more blood and a
putatively intelligent Sylvester
Stallone. (He must be smart; he's
wearing glasses.) At Fox: 7:15,
9:30; Showcase:1:05, 3:10, 5:20,
7:35, 9:45, 11:50

Shake and Bacon but for the real
story see the reiew on page 12.

Showcase:12:40, 2:35, 4:40, 7:15,
9:30, 11:30
