Calvin-Brick Give the Gift of Entertainment this Christmas! We can accommodate ijourgift list with our versatile V A 1, 1995 Voucher Packages 4-Coupon Voucher Pack - $50 $54 after December 31st, 1994. 4-Coupon Adventure Pack - $44 By John Schedler This week's best new release is The Client ***1/2 (Warner) a highly enjoyable film version of the John Grisham novel about a young boy (Brad Renfo) who learns the whereabouts of a murdered U.S. Senator. Pursued by both an ambitious federal prosecutor (Tommy Lee Jones) and a mob hit man, the boy turns to a savvy female lawyer (Susan Sarandon) to protect him and his family. This is an excellent and intelligent thriller which benefits greatly from having a good novel as its source. (Rated PG- 13) The western spoof, Wagons East .** (Live/MCA) is the late John Candy's last film. The plot involves a group of settlers who hire boozy wagon master (Candy) to guide them back east. Problems arise though as they try to survive Indian attacks, hired guns and themselves. I wish I could say Wagons East is a funny and fitting tribute to John Candy's career, but that just wouldn't be the truth. (Rated PG-13). A much better John Candy film is the bittersweet Planes, Trains and Automobiles ***1/2 (Paramount) which co-stars Steve Martin. (Rated R - some rough language) To the surprise of many, Bruce Brown's 1966 surfing odyssey The Endless Summer was highly entertaining and a box office hit as well, so now almost 25 years later there is a sequel. Endless Summer II **1/2 (Alliance) features basically the same plot as the original film, two guys searching for the perfect wave at various locations around the world. While this may sound a bit dull, especially if you're not a surfer, this combination of sun, sand, salt water and giant waves works and is a funny and quite enjoyable movie. (Rated PG) Among the otiier new and unpreviewed releases for your holiday viewing pleasure is Lassie (Paramount) the ever popular collie, who this time out helps a family settle a dispute with their neighbours. (Rated PG) More canine adventures can be found in Sherlock: Undercover Dog (Columbia/Tristar) as two children team up with a police dog in an effort to round up a bumbling gang of smugglers. (Rated PG) Those loveable little animated dinosaurs are back in the made for video The Land Before Time II (MCA/Universal - $22.95), a sequel to the popular original film. The adventure follows the group as they leave their peaceful valley to explore the forbidden Mysterious Beyond (Rated G) Available December 27th. In the comedy Tammy and the T-Rex (C/FP), a young man wakes up to discover he has been transformed into a dinosaur. (Rated PG-13) A great new video that deals with a subject a little closer to home is Ghosts of the Bay **** (Lynx Images - $49.95), a feature length program about the history of Georgian Bay. This entertaining and informative film is told through present day exploration, archival film and photographs, animation, storytelling and interviews with Georgian Bay oldtimcrs. The video is packaged with a 300 page guide book featuring 50 maps and covering 140 sites plus stories of mystery and intrigue. Ghosts of the Bay is well worth checking out and is available at many area book stores. You can receive further information by calling Lynx Images at (416) 777-9333.
