CAMPUS CINEMA

FILMS OPENING FRIDAY:
BASIC ISTImCT Michael Douglas makes a daring career move by starring in this
controversial film about a man pitted against a psychotic she-bitch (Sharon Stone).
Almost too sexy for an R rating. And watch out for gay rights protesters who've
threatened to give away the ending. At Briarwood: 10, 12:20, 2:40, 5, 7:30, 10,
12:10; at Showcase: 1, 1:30, 3:45, 4:15, 7:15, 7:40, 9:45, 10:10, 12:10, 12:30.
S..aows AmD Foc Yeah, we know. Alice sucked. And this film is another
ensemble-cast fantasy from Mr. Allen (and it's black-and-white and "Kafkaesque.")
But at least the Wood-man stars, Madonna's part is really small and the movie's
actually funny. And nobody says "Not!" With John Malkovich, John Cusack, Jodie
Foster, Lily Tomlin, Kathy Baker and Fred Gwynne. At Briarwood: 10:15, 12, 2, 4,
7, 9.
TwEmTv-O.m Patsy Kensit of Lethal Weapon 2 fame tries starring in a good film,
a comedic mock docu-drama about a British woman living in New York City who
examines what it's like to be young and female in the '90s. At the Ann Arbor 1 &
2: 12:40. 2:45 9:45.
