DEATH AND THE MAIDEN We'd never mention the obvious O.J. reference, for
that would be tasteless and this list is about class. At Showcase: 4:50, 7:25.
DEMON KNIGHT Although rumored to be more horrifying than the Broadway
song and dance version of Stephen King's "Carrie," (an accomplishment
ft to be overlooked), in actuality, this film version of "Tales From the

touch the heinie? At Showcase: 1:00, 4:05, 7:10, 9:50, 12:25.
HIGHLANDER 3 Not to be confused with the earlier tour-de-forces "High-
lander" or "Highlander 2: The Secret of the Ooze," this "Highlander," about
shy, conscientious mountain shepherd whose three favorite goats just

Newty's insta-classic bestseller, the tortured Oldman plays a sleazy car
salesman named Ute who tries to pawn off a bunch of shoddy Datsun's as
e cars of the future. With Don Knotts, Michael Caine and Phyllis Diller as
he Temptress." At Showcase: 1:30, 4:35, 7:35, 10:15, 12:30.
