Craft show
at Falls
By John Schedler
Oliver Stone goes back to Vietnam for a third time with Heaven and
Earth **** (Warner), a fact based account of the experiences of Le Ly
Hayslip, a Vietnamese woman whose life spans the French and American
occupations of her country.
This film has been criticized by some with sacrificing subtlety for in
your face horror, but I think director Stone has gotten a bum rap on this
account. Heaven and Earth is an outstanding film, a rich epic full of
heart and soul that left me, more than once, with a lump in my throat.
The excellent cast includes Tommy Lee Jones, Dr. Haing S. Hgor, Joan
Chen and newcomer Hiep Thi Le. (Rated R)
Reserve
The third annual Car Show and
Arts and Crafts Sale will be held at
Falls Reserve Conservation Area,
Saturday, July 30 and Sunday, July
31, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
The Falls Reserve is al Benmillcr,
just 10 minutes from Goderich.
A good showing of craft vendors
and classic autos is expected. A
total of about 100 cars attended last
year. Draw prizes will be
presented to exhibitors and visitors
daily. Throughout the event there
will be activities for kids. Visitors
arc also encouraged to take a walk
on the park's scenic nature trail. A
dance will be held Saturday
evening from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m.
featuring DJ Rick Passmore.
To gel to Falls Reserve take
Highway 8 from Goderich to
County Road 1, then follow the
signs to the park.
Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau recently revived their Odd Couple
routine for Grumpy Old Men, which turned out to be a pleasant and
enjoyable little film. Now, much the same territory is covered in
Wrestling Ernest Hemingway ***1/2 (Warner) the story of a retired
Cuban barber (Robert Duvall) and a flamboyant ex-sea captain (Richard
Harris) who become bickering friends during a hot summer in Florida.
This is an enjoyable and poignant film with first rate performances from
a fine cast that also includes Shirley MacLaine, Sandra Bullock and Piper
Laurie. (Rated PG-13)
Even though What's Ealing Gilbert Grape ****' (Paramount) is another
movie that failed to create much excitement at the box office, hopefully
audiences will discover its quirky charm on home video. Johnny Depp
plays Gilbert, a young man from a small town who has put his dreams on
hold as he spends his time looking after his 500 pound mother, two
sisters and mentally challenged brother played by Leonard DiCaprio,
who earned an Oscar nomination for his performance.
While not exactly light entertainment this unpredictable and
bittersweet film is highly enjoyable. Directed by Lasse Hallstrom, the
cast also includes Juliette Lewis, Mary Stccnburgcn and Darlene Calcs.
(Rated PG-13)
Why anyone felt they needed to film Invasion of the Body Snatchers
for a third time is beyond me; the 1956 original and 1978 remake were
just fine and took this story about as far as possible. But, director Abel
Ferrara seems to think otherwise so we have Body Snatchers ** (Warner)
a tepid remake that moves the action to an army base as the pod people
from outer space plot to take over the world. The cast features Gabrielle
Anwar, Mcg Tilly and Forrest Whitaker. (Rated R)
Xxr Message Comes Across
Lfl/c’ Night With David Letterman alumnus Chris Elliott turns up in his
first feature film Cabin Boy ** (Touchstone) as a spoiled rich kid who
mistakenly boards a grimy fishing boat and is forced to work as a lowly
swab. To tell the truth, Chris Elliott might be funny in three minute
television skits, but as the star of an 86 minute movie the laughs arc few
and far between. (Rated PG-13)In the Classifieds
