Leading off the week's new releases is / Love Trouble ***1/2
(Touchstone), a dandy romantic adventure about two rival Chicago
newspaper columnists played by Julia Roberts and Nick Nolte out to-
scoop each other on a big story. While the plot trods a well wom path, the
chemistry between the two stars is good and makes for an enjoyable
couple of hours of viewing. (Rated PG)
As a big fan of the original 1950s television show, I must say I was
looking forward to the new updated movie version of Maverick **
(Warner) which is now available on video. Unfortunately, like the year's
other so-called epic western Wyatt Earp, this one also suffers from a
running time that is far too long for the material.
Mel Gibson goofs his way through the movie trying to come up with
enough cash to enter a high-skates poker game while endeavouring to out
smart a beautiful fellow gambler played by Jodie Foster. James Gamer
also shows up as a mysterious lawman, but neither he nor the decent
supporting cast can hide the fact that there isn't an original plot twist in
this bloated and dull film. (Rated PG)
When Blown Away ** (MGM/UA) opened in theatres this past summer
against the blockbuster hit Speed, it was just that, blown away! The plot
involves' an IRA defector (Jeff Bridges) who now defuses bombs for the
Boston police department and a radical IRA bomber (Tommy Lee Jones)
who is looking for revenge.
The film does have its share of big explosions, but you have to sit
through an overly contrived and tedious story to see them. (Rated R)
Among the week's other new, but unpreviewed releases is Baby's Day
Out (Fox) a slapstick comedy about three kidnappers who lose a baby they
are holding for ransom when he crawls away from them. This is another
John (Yawn) Hughes film. (Rated PG)
Richard Harris and Barbara Hershey star in the made for TV Biblical
epic Abraham (Tumor) about a man called on by God to prove his faith by
sacrificing the life of his son. (Unrated)
The plot of Oblivion (Full Moon) finds a savage reptilian alien
terrorizing an old west town. Oblivion picked up the Gold Award for best
fantasy/horror film at the Huston International Film Festival. (Rated PG-
13)
In Ernest Goes to School (C/FP) two scientists increase Ernest's IQ with
the help of a Sub-Atomic Brain Accelerator. Too bad they couldn't have
used this device on some of the script writers currently working in
Hollywood. (Rated PG)
In the classic movie department is Call Northside 777 *** (Fox -
$24.95) an excellent suspense-filled drama starring James Stewart as a
reporter trying to prove the innocence of a wrongly convicted killer.
(Unrated)
For those of you still looking for something for the children on your gift
list the folks at Disney have just released Winnie The Pooh and Christmas
Too ($16.99) a delightful tape base on the A. A. Milne character.

Mr. Lawrie says the idea of the
purchase was first brought to the
family by Dean, who along with his
Dad enjoys golfing and saw this as
a good family business opportunity.
The children will be doing a lot
of the work, says Mrs. Lawrie. This
is for them. Dean and Krista are
employed elsewhere, but will be

the course, as will their parents.
