F I L M S H O L D I N G:
AiE OF INNOCENCE Book-to-movie tales of the 1800s upper class are in
vogue for the moment, but Martin Scorsese never goes out of style. At
Showcase: 1:00, 4:00, 7:00, 9:50, 12:30. At Ann Arbor 1&2: 1:00, 4:00,
.7:00, 9:50.
THE BEVERLY HILLEIWEs First an allergic reaction forced him off of "Wizard
of Oz," now Buddy Epson doesn't get the lead in this? At least give him
"Barnaby Jones - the Movie." At Showcase: 12:20, 2:30, 4:40, 7:30, 9:40,
11:50.
CooL RUNNINGS This documentary from NORML, about the 1988 Jamai-
can Bobsled team, is meant to show what a little imagination and determi-
nation, as well as a lot of ganja, can do. At Showcase: 12:15, 2:25, 4:35,
7:00,9:20, 11:30.
*DEMounON MAN Earlier this year, there was "Cliffhanger." Now Stallone is
being cryogenically frozen. Soon, we'll probably be seeing Sly on "North-
ern Exposure." At Showcase: 12:30, 3:00, 5:25, 7:50, 10:20, 12:40.
THE FUsmVE Not only did this summer smash give Tommy Lee Jones the
attention he's deserved for so long, but it showed that Harrison Ford is
ready for "Indy 4." At Showcase: 9:30, 12:10.
GEmysBURe So what if it is four hours long - so is a World Series game.
And this one's got blood, guts, explosions and local hero Jeff Daniels in a
really funky mustache. At Showcase: 1:20, 8:00.
Goow SON I'll pay $6 for this movie if I actually get to see Macauley die.
*Hell, I'll pay $10. At Showcase: 1:00, 3:15, 5:10, 7:20, 9:30, 11:25.
THE JOY LUCK CLUB This film is based on Amy Tan's novel and should not
be confused with the X-rated "Lick Joy Club." At Showcase: 12:40, 3:40,
7:10, 10:00, 12:35. At Ann Arbor 1&2: 1:15, 4:15, 7:15, 10:05.
JUDGMENT Now I've got two words for Denis Leary: Marisa Tomei. If she
can go from "A Different World" to an Oscar, there's hope for you, buddy-
boy. At Showcase: 12:50, 3:20, 5:35, 8:00, 10:20, 12:40.
MAUCE With his "I AM God!" line, Alec Baldwin may have found the role
he was born for. If only he'd find an Epilady. At Showcase: 12:00,2:20,
4:45, 7:40, 10:00, 12:15.
*MR. WONDERFUL The third installment in the Mr. Whatever trilogy, with
Matt Dillon, Annabella Scioria and William Hurt, this is the only one to
survive at the multiplex. At Showcase: 12:00, 2:10, 4:25, 7:10.
RUDY First the book on Holtz, now this. Those Notre Dame coaches get no
respect. But we still love them, right guys? Right? Anyone? At Showcase:
12:10, 2:35, 5:05, 7:35, 10:10, 12:30.
