0 0 0 00 0 if? film on screen this month after Lorenzo's Oil and The Prince of Tides, Nick Nolte stars in two films this month, playing a basket- ball coach in Blue Chips and an actor in James L. Brooks' I'll Do Anything. Also on the plate: another television show remake and a thriller that actually keeps you guessing. Blue Chips (Paramount) With the recruiting stakes for big- time college basketball getting higher and higher, Blue Chips emerges as a timely film with a strong cast. Nick Nolte gets top billing as Pete Bell, a college basketball coach under pressure from fans and alumni to bring in big- name recruits, and Mary McDonnell (Passion Fish) plays his ex-wife. Real-life basketball star Shaquille O'Neal debuts as one of Bell's targeted "blue chips." Blink (New Line) Following in the footsteps of thrillers like Jennifer 8, Blink features a vulnera- ble female protagonist who must face a ego basketbalteam in BlueChips, killer alone.- Madeleine Stowe (Short Cuts) headlines as Emma Bro- dy, a visually impaired woman haunted by confusing images of a killer, and versatile Aidan Quinn (Benny & Joon) plays John Hallstrom, the detective assigned to Emma's case. Moviegoers can look for- ward to a thriller with surprises. What a concept. When a Man Loves a Woman (Touchstone) This is no fluff piece. Andy Garcia and Meg Ryan star as Michael and Alice Green, a couple with a loving marriage, two little girls and an idyllic life in a tranquil San Francisco neighborhood. But Alice, a junior high school guidance counselor, has a secret drinking prob- lem that explodes one night with tragic results. While Garcia and Ryan may seem like an unlikely couple, both have the talent and intensity to make this movie a box-office success. Shadowlands (Savoy Pictures) Over the ye ars, New York writer s Joy Gresham (Debra Wing- er) has been corresponding with renowned writer C.S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins). On a trip to London, the two meet and begin a love affair. This film adaptation of the award-winning biographical play is in the able hands of Richard Attenborough (Chaplin). And with Hopkins as the Oxford don, Shadowlands is sure to gar- ner critical acclaim. Gunmen (Miramax) You have to wonder how Christopher Lambert still finds work, considering that his last few films (Fortress, Highlander II: The Quickening) have made about a buck fifty for the studios. This latest thriller is about the hunt for a $400 million fortune. Expect plenty of both guns and men, in keeping with the creative title, as well as testosterone and dubious acting. Denis Leary (that angry guy from MTV) and Mario Van Peebles (Posse) also star. Ill Do Anything (Columbia) I'll do any- d thing is exactly what the mak- ers of the y movie must have said. It was supposed to be a musical comedy scheduled for release last fall. I'll Do Anything, sans the musical part, stars Nick Nolte as an actor who can't find work in Hollywood. On top of that, he's unexpectedly responsible for his six-year old daughter whom he hasn't seen in years. Expect power lunches and tender father-daughter bonding. Romeo is Bleeding (Gramercy) Gary Old- man (Dracula), spurning type- casting once again, is a voy- euristic cop on the edge in Romeo is Bleeding. The stellar cast should get your attention. Along with Oldman, this film features Lena Olin (The Unbearable Lightness of Being), Juliette Lewis and Annabella Sciorra (with Olin playing a gangster in an interesting twist). Everyone in this flick is double-dealing somebody. You figure the title out. Angie, I Says (Hollywood Pictures) In Angie, I Says, Geena Davis revisits the funny and unique personality she showed in The Accidental Tourist. Davis is Angie Scacciapensieri, who becomes an unwed mother in her Bensonhurst Italian neighborhood. Everyone has advice and criticism for Angie. But she goes her own way searching for the answers to life's questions. In this case, one of them might be finding a word that rhymes with her last name. Car 54, Where Are You? (Orion) This film, inspired by the '60s television series, hopes to capture the good-natured atmosphere of the original show. Gunther Toody (David Johansen) is the affable one, and rookie Francis Muldoon (John C. McGinley) is strictly by the book. You can tell by their last names that this is no hard-boiled police thriller, because straight action movies need tough names like Tango and Cash. Adam Plantinga, Marquette Tribune, Marquette U.

But you're the type of person who hears the call of the road. The rush of exploring new places secretly excites you. In short: You wish you were an Oscar Mayer wiener. Maybe you should talk to Dianne Segura. The 1992 Arizona State U. graduate pays the bills by piloting a 23-foot-long mobile frank. It's a bitchin' ride. Segura, along with 11 other chot doggers," handles company public relations from with- in the Wienermobiles - six 10-foot-tall fiberglass pigs-in-blankets custom-designed on 1988 Chevy van chassis. What a bunch of a These industriousewiener ambassadors, recruited from colleges across the nation, spend 340 days a year in the Oscar Mayer Foods Corp.'s meals-on-wheels. Since 1988, 60 grads have piloted the "Lamborwienies," which have been modified to include microwaves, refrigera- tors, cellular phones and stereo systems that play 21 ver- sions of the Oscar Mayer Wiener jingle. "It can be a hectic job," says Segura, who graduated with a degree in communications/public relations. "Many times you are the excitement for a town that has never seen some- thing so unique before." Up to 1,000 collegians a year send applications for the dozen hot dogger spots, Segura says, and the job serves as an unusual stepping stone for those with strong communi- cation skills and a sense of adventure. "What a way to have someone remember your resum6," Segura says. Everybody sing: Oscar Mayer has a way with R-E-S-U-M-and-E. Mark Lussier, The Daily Targum, Rutgers U. Part-time job nets student millions College students are always look- ing for ways to make ends meet. But police officials in Ames, Iowa say DeAnglo Moore, an 18-year-old freshman at Iowa State U., may have gone a little too far. Moore, who also goes by the name DeAnglo X, and his wife Cassandra allegedly stole about $21 million in cashier's checks from a bank where they were working last fall. The Moores worked for a custo- dial company and were supposed to clean Firstar Bank at night while it was closed. Instead, according to Ames Police Detective Roland Dippold, one night they helped themselves to, among other things, a cashier's stamper belonging to the bank. "Instead of working that night, they printed checks," Dippold said. Then, according to Dippold, the Moores stole a car from an auto rental company and drove to their hometown of Waterloo, Iowa, where they picked up Cassandra's brother and- sent on the spending spree that would lead to their arrest. First they went to another Firstar Bank, where, Dippold says, they tried to cash a stolen check for $523,557, but apparently got ner- vous while they waited and left the bank without the money. Then, using some of their funny money, they bought a $29,000 Chevy Blazer and received a check for $700 as change from the duped dealership. Soon after, Dippold says, Waterloo police arrested Moore and his conspirators as they tried to cash that check at another bank. Moore, who withdrew from the university in December, is under federal charges of bank fraud, con- spiracy and possession of stolen property. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is out on bail awaiting trial in February. If convicted, Moore and his accused cohorts could be sentenced to up to 70 years in jail or be ordered to pay more than $2 mil- lion in fines. Firstar Bank Vice President Bob Lembke would not comment on how the Moores allegedly were able to pull off such a nefarious heist. Dippold did say he doubtead it would happen again. "The lightning has struck, so to speak," he said. * Troy Mc- Cullough, Iowa State Daily, Iowa State U. Basketball uniforms can be a real drag Members of Sigma Nu fraternity at Furman U. were ready to grab their dresses and hit the basketball courts for this year's intramural season - until university officials said no to the dudes in drag. Citing safety and liability concerns, the university told the nine men of "Alice" - whose motto is "there's nothing worse than getting beat by a guy in a dress" - to drop their dresses or face expulsion from the intramural league. Alice, after playing in drag last year, now plays in men's clothing. Team manager Clarke Scott, a junior, says the team dressed out during their games last season without incident. And he says the members of Alice wore short dresses with athletic shoes to avoid acci- dents on the court. "There are no wigs, no bras, just dresses," Scott says. "We just wanted to do something different." But Owen McFadden, director of recreational sports, isn't syrmpathetic. "I don't care if they walk around with dresses on campus," McFadden says. "But from a safety standpoint I can't let them do it on the court." Matt Hennie, The Paladin, Furman U. ~enuany~pennusny i594 ~sousny~rennusny 1994 U. Magazime * 9 JANUARY/FEBRUARY 1994 U.
