Christmas Vacation) suck on DeNiro's fingers. At Showcase: 9:40, 12:05.
0CUmLY SUE Here's a brain teaser: Which '91 John Hughes bomb blew the worst -

FOR THE Boys Bette Midler and James Caan fail to capture the magic of Bob

THE NAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE Wayne State grad Ernie Hudson (yes, the
Black Ghostbuster) stars with Rebecca DeMornay in a cheesy USC film school

7:35,9:55, 12:10.
HOOK Even Dustin and Robby can't overcome the lousy sets and weak plot of this
lame fantasy from the director of The Goonies. What a drag it is gettin' old... At

scene was included (along with a generous dose of Mugwump jism). At the Ann
Arbor 1 & 2: 12:15, 2:30, 4:55, 7:05, 9:30.
