No matter what your taste in movies this week's new releases will offer
something for you. Topping the list is Casper **** (MCA/Universal -
$25.95 or less) a charming live action film based on the popular animated
cartoons of the 1950s. While the plot is on the marginal side, the
characters are extremely likeable and the state of the art special effects are
flawless. This is great entertainment and something the whole family can
enjoy together. (Rated PG)
Albert Finney gives a marvelous performance in The Browning Version
**" (Paramount), the second adaptation of Terrance Rattigan's 1948
play. The story centres on a stern and unpopular teacher, who on
retirement, discovers just how little respect he commands from not only
his students but others as well. Highly recommended. (Rated R)
Among the other new and unprcvicwed releases is the latest from the
Saturday Night Live alumni. Tommy Boy (Paramount) features Chris
Farley as a D+ college graduate who tries to save his father's business
from being taken over by a conniving stepmother (Bo Derek) and her
smarmy son (Rob Lowe). (Rated PG)
Quentin Tarantino fans will no doubt want to check out Destiny Turns
on the Radio (Warner) a quirky comedy/drama about a Las Vegas mystery
man who holds the fate of numerous people in his hands. In addition to
Tarantino the cast includes Dylan McDermott, Nancy Travis and James
Belushi. (Rated R)
If you're like me you probably missed the television mini-series Buffalo
Girls (Cabin Fever) when it ran on the tube several months ago. I still
hope to catch up with it over the next few weeks: After all, most of the
reviews were very good and the cast which includes Angelica Huston,
Melanie Griffith, Gabriel Byrne, Peter Coyote, Jack Palance, Reba
McEntire and Sam Elliott is first rate. (Unrated)
In The Haunting of Seacliff Inn (MCA/Universal) a young couple buy
an old Victorian house to open a bed and breakfast inn, only to discover
too late than an evil spirit has other plans. The cast includes Ally Sheedy,
William R. Moses and Louise Fletcher. (Rated PG-13)
In the classic movie department the folks at Kino Video rummage
around their film vaults for a tribute to Lon Chaney, the man who wowed
silent film audiences and was dubbed The Man of a 1000 Faces.
In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in Chaney's career
with theatrical retrospectives in New York and Italy, a tribute at the
British Film Institute and a new biography to be published this month by
Vestal Press. Of the eight volumes Kino is releasing the best remembered
film is The Phantom Of The Opera made in 1925.
This 70th anniversary edition has been completely remastered from a
beautiful 35mm archive print and features the original 2-strip technicolour
masked ball sequence and a new music score performed by a 60-piece
orchestra. This is the best version of this film I have ever seen.
The other Chaney films offered by Kino are The Hunchback of Notre
Dame (1923), Outside The Law (1920), Oliver Twist (1920), The Shock
(1923), The Light of Faith (1923), Shadows (1922), Nomads of the North
(1920) and a new documentary Lon Chaney: Behind The Mask.

intensely interested in the value of
education throughout his life. The

On Thursday, Oct. 5 Mrs. D.
Graham, the art teacher at F. E.
Madill High School, came and
taught Mrs. Perrie's class an art
lesson on pastel drawings.
Everyone enjoyed the lesson and
some people wish she could come
and teach us again.
Cross country was postponed
until Tuesday, Oct. 10, because of
poor weather.
On Thursday, Oct. 5 there was an
assembly to thank the Brussels
Optimists, Brussels Lions and the
Brussels Legion. Mr. Garniss and
Mr. McDonald from the Board of
Education presented them with
Certificates of Recognition for all
the help and support they have
in his community, and was always
vitally concerned that any student
who had the ability to proceed to
higher education should not be held
back through the lack of financial
assistance.

The assembly also had singing

Remember the "Ideal Parents"

We wish!
One third of the Grade 8 class
said they liked their parents the
way they are.
Hope everyone had a safe
Thanksgiving weekend!
With this in mind, his will

establishment of the fund, which
will continue to benefit students
from the area for many years to
come.
