Leading off this week's new releases is Disclosure **** (Warner), an
excellent drama of corporate intrigue starring Michael Douglas and Demi
Moore. The plot follows an executive at a high tech computer firm, who is
passed over for a promotion, only to discover that his new boss is a
sexually aggressive woman with whom he had an affair 10 years before.
This is a riveting, fast paced thriller based on the best-selling novel by
Michael Crichton and directed by Barry Levinson. Highly recommended.
(Rated R - definitely not for children).
Ready to Wear *** (Alliance) is another of those ensemble cast things
that director Robert Altman (Nashville, The Player, Short Cuts) seems to
have now made his life's work. This time he sets his satirical eye on the
fashion business in a film that, while enjoyable, is a bit too long. The cast
includes Tim Robbins, Julia Roberts, Sophia Loren, Marcello Mastroianni
and many more. (Rated PG-13)
The Ascent **1/2 (Cabin Fever) is a so-so prisoner of war drama set in
Africa during World War II. Vincent Spano plays the Italian soldier trying
to escape and Ben Cross is the stiff upper lip British officer determined to
stop him. (Rated PC)
in the classic movie department are the final three cassettes in Kino's 10
cassette Art of Buster Keaton series. The titles included in these latest
releases include The General **** (1927) which is ranked among the best
films of all time. This brilliant Civil War comedy features Buster as a
Southern engineer who wages a one man war against the Union spies who
have hijacked his cherished locomotive.
"Every shot has the authenticity and unassuming correct composition of
a Matthew Brady Civil War photograph", wrote film historian David
Robinson. "No one - not even D.W. Griffith or John Huston and certainly
not Victor Fleming (Gone With The Wind) - caught the visual aspect of the
Civil War as Keaten did."
In College ***1/2 (1927) Keaton plays a mild mannered freshman who
becomes involved in a war of athletics as he tries to win the heart of
beautiful co-ed. Buster Keaton's final independent production before
joining MGM (the biggest mistake of his career) is the comic masterpiece
Steamboat Bill Jr **** (1928). Set on the Mississippi River the film
follows the adventures of a spoiled young man who is forced by his crusty
father to learn the ropes of riverboating. This is the film that features the
famous hurricane climax and the legendary stunt in which the front of a
building collapses over Buster who passed unharmed through an open
window.
Each cassette also features at least two of Keaton's short subjects like
my favourite The Playhouse *"* (1921), an amazing technical tour-de-
force in which he plays every character. Simply wonderful!

Band enjoys CHSS visit
By Amy McDougall
and Ashley Gropp
The BPS band participated in
Banderama at CHSS in Clinton on
Tuesday. There were four other
schools involved this year. In the
morning, we were separated into
sectionals. This means all the
trumpets, low brass, clarinets,
flutes, and percussion divided into
groups.
Each group practised the songs
they were going to play.
Before the morning was over we
had also had a practice for the mass
band.
After lunch we listened to the
CHSS band play music from the
Lion King as well as some other
pieces. Then we got together and
played in the mass band. We then
played as separate schools. BPS
pieces were Westwind Overture and
Old MacDonald's Band.
We were pleased to attend.
We are more aware than ever of
the renovations happening around
our school. The office has bee
moved to where the kindergarten
room used to be and so has the staff
room. The kindergartens are in the
old library. The library has been
temporarily moved to the gym, as
has the music room. Mrs. Uhler's
class is in the old French room and
Ms Anonech's class is in what used
to be the music room. We would
like to thank students for being
patient during the renovations.
On Thursday, many students
participated in the track and field
meet at Howick Public School. In
the 50 metre race Dianne Cochrane
placed first. In the 100 metre event
Lesley Pepper placed third.
For the 200 metre Drew Thomas
finished second and Morgan
Bishop placed third. In the 400
metre Joshua Nichol finished third,
Jodi Sellers placed first, and
Heather Armstrong placed first.
In the 800 metre Jenna Krotz
finished first and Tyler Bragg
placed second.
In the 400 metre relay the Mite
boys placed second. The team
members are Matthew Lee, Brent
Wheeler, Drew Thomas and Tyler
Jutzi. Mite girls finished third.
Team members are Dianne
Cochrane, Justine King, Catrina
Josling, and Emily Cardiff.
Tyke boys placed second. Team
members are Morgan Bishop, Evan

GRADE 6 AND 7 CLASS TRIP
By Sabine Schroecker
Grade 6
Last Thursday, May 25 at 7 a.m.
we started to pile on the bus. There
were 52 students and 10 parents.
We picked a good day because it
was sunny. Most of us were sleepy
so early in the morning.
Our first stop was at McDonald's
for a rest stop. It felt like days until
we finally reached Tussaud's Wax
Museum at Niagara Falls. At the
wax museum they had famous
people like Whitney Houston,
Arnold Swartzeneger and Elvis
Presley made out of wax. At the
end of the Wax Museum there was
a horror chamber which was really
neat.
It didn't take too long for us to
walk to the falls wher.e. we got to
wander off with our friends to look
at the falls and buy souvenirs.
Next came Marineland. There we
watched a dolphin show and a
killer whale show. They also had
two seals named Thunder and
Splash.
After the shows we got to go on
the rides. They had a roller coaster
which was called Dragon Moun-
tain. Ross Clark went on it the most
times, a total of 21.
Then we went to the Welland
Canal where we watched a short
movie and some of us went into the
museum which cost 80 cents.
Afterwards we got a choice
between eating at Harveys, Swiss
Chalet or Subway.
When we got home (at 9:30) we
were all tired but we had fun.
