The most talked about movie of the year makes its appearance on home
video this week. Forrest Gump **** (Paramount - $26.95 or less) the
winner of six Oscars including Best Picture and Actor will no doubt be as
big a hit here as it was on the big screen.
For those of you who haven't seen it yet now is your chance. This
engaging fable follows a slow wined fellow (Tom Hanks) who has the
amazing ability to stumble his way into most of the major events in U.S.
history during the 1960s and 70s. It has now become quite fashionable
among many trendy critics to dismiss Forrest Gump mainly because it has
become a little too successful; besides it champions things like human
decency, faithfulness, honesty and friendship as opposed to the so-called
cutting edge low-life scum in films like Pulp Fiction.
I'm sticking with Forrest and the millions of filmgoers who have made
him a hit around the world. (Rated PG-13) Also available on laserdisc in
the widescreen letterbox format.
While I was placing my bets on Jodie Foster's beautiful performance in
Nell to capture Best Actress gold, the winner turned out to be an equally
deserving Jessica Lange in Blue Sky **** (Orion), a little seen drama
made in 1991 but unreleased until last year. This highly recommended
drama, set in the early 1960s, centres on the tumultuous relationship
between an Army nuclear engineer (Tommy Lee Jones) and his free
spirited wife (Jessica Lange). This is the last film of director Tony
Richardson (Tom Jones). (Rated PG-13)
The heyday of old time radio is spoofed in Radioland Murders **
(MCA/Universal), a forced and unfunny comedy from producer George
Lucas. Despite heat 30s atmosphere and numerous cameo appearances by
performers like Christopher Lloyd, George Burns, Harvey Korman, Ned
Beatty and others the film just doesn't work. (Rated PG)
Even though theatre audiences passed on Robert A. Heinlen's The
Puppet Masters "1/2 (Hollywood), I found it to be highly watchable. The
screenplay is based on a story that first appeared in 1951 in the magazine
Galaxy Science Fiction, and tells of an Alien invasion of the United
States. This new film would make a good double bill with the similar
invasion of the Body Snatchers. (Rated R)
Also available is another stunning laserdisc release from the Criterion
Collection. The Red Shoes **** (Voyager) is one of the best loved post
World War II films from the British producer/director team of Emeric
Pressburger and Michael Powell.
This exquisite drama focuses on a young ballerina (Moira Shearer), who
finds herself torn between forces, the composer who loves her and the
impresario determined to fashion her into a great dancer.
The new digital transfer was made using a 35mm negative made from
the original Technicolor elements and supervised by the film's
cinematographer Jack Cardiff. Like most of Criterion's releases the
exhaustive supplementary material available here including second audio
track commentary makes this a special event.
Highly recommended! The Red Shoes is available on videocassette from
Paramount.

GRAINS
By Joel Hemingway
In the grains area they were told
bar codes are put on the cans to
identify the products that Aylmer
Del Monte of Exeter processes.
We were shown how to grind
corn into flour.
We played an identification game
where we had to put the different
foods into their proper "grains"

soyabeans and white beans.
POULTRY

a Conflict Resolution Workshop on
Tuesday, April 18 at the Ark.
