Celebration to follow at Brussels, Morris & Grey Community Centre. • By John Schedler Leading off this week's new releases is Rob Roy ***1/2 (MGM/UA), a romantic and bawdy epic starring Liam Neeson Schindler's List and Jessica Lange Blue Sky. This highly entertaining film is based on the true story of legendary Scottish clan leader Robert Roy MacGregor, who became an outlaw after being cheated by nasty landlord (John Hurt) and his foppish henchman, wonderfully played by Tim Roth. Rob Roy boasts great acting, beautiful scenery and hypnotic music. Recommended! (Rated 18-A) Even though John Carpenter's remake of Village of the Damned *** (MCA/Universal) had a rather weak theatrical showing it's a better than average horror film based on the scary John Wyndham novel The Midwich Cuckoos. The story focuses on a small town and the birth of 10 strange and emotionless children whose horrific powers bring death and destruction to many of the townspeople. This film is a bit overdone at times with plenty of 90s style violence and big explosions but it's still worth a look. (Rated 14-A) While the original 1960 British version (filmed in black and white) may be less graphic I think it's a better film. This was followed by a lackluster 1964 sequel, Children of the Damned. All versions are currently available on home video. Also quite enjoyable is While You Were Sleeping **** (Hollywood), a delightful romantic comedy starring Sandra Bullock Speed, Bill Pullman Casper and Peter Gallager. The story involves a man in a coma and lonely young woman who is mistaken as his fiancee. Another plus is a great supporting cast that includes Peter Boyle, Glynis Johns and Jack Warden. Recommended! (Rated PG) Among other new and unpreviewed releases is A Pyromaniacs Love Story (Hollywood) an off-beat comedy about a group of people who all confess to torching an inner-city bakery. (Rated PG) Hot young star Alicia Silverstone stars in two new films the first of which is The Babysitter where she plays a teenager who awakens the desires of several men. (Rated R). The other, True Crime (Malofilm), has her playing detective in an effort to find a serial killer. (Rated R) Fans of The Royal Canadian Air Farce may want to check out their new Video Yearbook: Volume 2 (CBC - $19.95) which is now on video store shelves. In the classic movie department arc two newly restored epics. Making its home video debut is For Whom The Bells Toll ***1/2 (MCA/Universal - $19.95 or less) based on Ernest Hemingway's epic novel set during the Spanish Civil War and starring Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman. Even though Doctor Zhivago **** (MGM/UA) - $2A.95 or less) has been available for some time, this new 30th Anniversary edition is the one to own. It comes in both a beautiful widescreen and standard pan and scan versions. video 9 91.X. IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY...

GRADE 2 NEWS By Mary Thompson and Josh Albrechtas We are very busy here in Grade 2. We made crafts like houses and trees. We are trying our best at everything. We've been reading a lot. We are adding and subtracting in lots of games. All of the recesses are great, especially middle recess. We're doing lots of math besides adding and subtracting like 500<874 or 267=200+60+7. We're doing a play called Give Thanks for the Pilgrims. supervise the playground this year. It's much safer for younger students to be on their own yard. Hot dog days will be starting soon on Fridays. Any parents who can help out are invited to call the school. Mrs. Jutzi will be co- ordinating the orders this year for us. We thank her.
