BRONX TALE Rodney Dangerfield, Bronx's most famous native son, sadly
.oked last week that he was distraught that his best friend had run off with
his wife. "Now I have to find someone else to go fishing with," he reluc-
tantly conceded. Anyhow, DeNiro does double-duty, as both director and
star, in this gritty urban drama which is bound to be the sleeper of the year.

Cool RUNNINGs Anne Rice may have some trouble with the casting of
Tom Cruise as the androgynous vampire in the upcoming "Interview With,
The Vampire," but chances are that the better part of North America has
some trouble with John Candy as an ex-Olympian bobsledder hired to train
the now infamous 1988 Jamaican bobsled team. At Showcase: 12:30, 2:50,
)5:00, 7:15,9:25, 11:35.

FILMS HOLDING:
Ae Of INNOCENCE Scorsese returns with an impassioned look into love
and lust in pre-depression New York. Dubbed by Daily critics as the
premiere film of the decade (as if that meant anything at all), the picture

case: 1:00, 4:00, 7:10, 10:00, 12:40. At Ann Arbor 1&2: 1:00, 4:00, 7:00,

3:20, 5:30, 7:30, 9:30, 11:30.
JURAssiC PARK Hosted by Carl Sagan, this searing PBS documentary could

2:35, 5:05, 7:40, 10:10, 12:35.
THE SECRET GARDEN Closed down by federal marshalls in the late 30s,
this Indiana hemp farm has continued to blossom through the years. In
1976, a group of young children discover it while playing in the deep
woods. Based on the cult sensation "Reefer Madness," Warner Brothers, in
conjunction with NORML, has redefined child exploitation in bringing a
Broadway smash onto the silver screen. At Showcase: 12:20, 2:30, 4:40.

Pegs. At Showcase: 12:50, 3:00, 5:15, 7:35, 9:40, 11:55,

better off left out of the hands of Christian Slater. At Showcase: 7:15,
9:55, 12:25.
UNDERCOVER BuEs "Look Who's Talking 3" with Kathleen Turner and
Dennis Quaid. At Showcase: 9:25, 11:25.
WARLOCK 2 Sadly the original "Warlock" was released on the same night
as the 1991 "Full House" cliffhanger. Even Siskel & Ebert, who had
planned to review the film last on one of their episodes, were unable to
publicly assess the picture when Roger sat on top of Gene during a dispute
over the re-release of "Bambi," causing the program to run over-schedule.

W E D N E S D A Y
IGGY Pop After a glorious spell with the Ann Arbor blues legends the Prime
Movers, Iggy struck out on his own and formed the Stooges, which turned out
to be responsible for a good 75% of all the guitar sludge from Seattle. When
it was all too much, he had to break up the band and he turned to the sleazy
splendor of Berlin. With a head full of snow, he recorded two killer albums,
"Lust for Life" and "The Idiot," with his good friend Ziggy Stardust and then
resigned himself to a career of shameless self-parody. Until the last few years,
that is. Iggy's latest, "American Caesar," shows that he hasn't lost that spark
that made him one of rock's most notorious figures. He's aliving legend, and
he's from Ann Arbor as well; you will regret not seeing him at the State
Theater. It's an all ages show and the fun begins at 7:30.
UNIVERSITY P _'If'ARMONIA ORCHESTRA Donald Schleicher conducts Beethoven
and Stravinsky, H-ill Auditorium, :00 p.m., free, 763-4726.
