V406110 MIX!
By John Schedler
The week's new releases are headlined by two titles that are expected to
sell in the millions. First up is Batman Forever *1/2 (Warner - $22.95 or
less), a disappointingly over-produced and woefully underwritten sequel
that shows director Joel Schumacher is no Tim Burton. Jim Carrey and
Tommy Lee Jones embarrass themselves as do most of the other cast
members although Val Kilmer's Batman isn't too bad. High on my list as
one of 1995's worst movies. (Rated PG)
While The Santa Clause *** (Disney - $22.95 or less) won't displace
any Christmas favourites from my list, this comedy about a divorced
father trying to win his son's respect and affection while reluctantly
stumbling into a new job as Santa Claus is an enjoyable enough movie.
Tim Allen (TV's Home Improvement) is good, but I found Disney's
previous holiday effort Ernest Saves Christmas to be much funnier. (Rated
G)
In Swimming With Sharks **1/2 (Malofilm), Frank Whaley plays a man
who is driven over the edge by his boss, a nasty and abusive Hollywood
producer (Kevin Spacy). There are some funny moments but I'm of the
opinion that anyone who would take this kind of abuse deserves what he
gets. (Rated R - rough language)
Actually my pick for best new release this week is The Perez Family
***l/2 (Malofilm), a highly enjoyable comedy/drama about a group of
Cuban refugees trying to start a new life in Miami. The great cast features
Marisa Tomei, Alfred Molina, Chazz Palminteri and Angelica Huston.
Recommended! (Rated PG-13)
In the classic movie department are two worthwhile restorations. Rio
Grande **** (Republic - $14.95), the third film in director John Ford's
famed Cavalry Trilogy is presented in a lovely crisp black and white
transfer from the original negative. In addition this tape features a short
behind the scenes documentary hosted by noted film historian Leonard
Maltin.
The good folks at Kino Video came up with yet another rarity with She
*** (1935), the second movie version of H. Rider Haggard's famous novel
about a group of adventurers on an expedition to find the Fountain of
Youth. While the film's star Helen Gahagan received much criticism for
her cold performance, the film still has much to offer including co-stars
Randolp Scott, Helen Mack and Nigel Bruce as well as good special
effects, fabulous art deco sets and a great music score by Max Steiner
(King Kong, Gone With The Wind, etc.)
Even though lox Video's newly remastered THX edition of the Star
Wars Trilogy has been in stores since late August it is worth mentioning
that the widescreen versions also in THX are finally on store shelves this
week. For those of you not satisfied with the cropped Pan and Scan copies
this new release is well worth having despite the additional $10 per set
Fox is charging.

FEATURING
MRS. COLQUHOUN'S,
MRS. ELGIE'S AND
MRS. MARTIN'S GRADE 5/6
By Jenny Haller and
Erin Wildman
This year we have 30 students in
our Grade 5/6 class. We began the
year with Mrs. Elgie reading us a
novel called Paddle to the Sea.
While she read the novel we traced
the journey of "Paddle" through the
Great Lakes to the ocean. We also
researched some of the places that
"Paddle" passed on his trip.
The book is about a boy who
carved a wooden Indian in a little
wooden boat. The boy set the little
boat down in the snow and when
the snow melted in the spring it set
off on its great journey.
After we heard most of the story
we had to write an ending for it.
We have been enjoying our natural
environment at Grey by listening to
stories, reading, writing, and
playing games outside. We often
walk or run the trails for exercise.
After listening to and reading
several native stories, we visited
the Archeological Museum in
London. We saw many interesting
artifacts which had been found at
the site. They belonged to the
Neutral Indians. We also saw a
partly carved "false face" mask in
the side of a tree trunk. We had
heard about these masks because
our teachers had read the book
"False Face" to us.
We also visited the Sifton Bog
which was the setting for the book.
At the bog we had to walk on a
boardwalk so we wouldn't sink in
spongy stuff (plants, moss, algae).
It was 60 feet deep.
In our creative writing period
with Mrs. Martin we spent a great
amount of time working on a
project called "I'm Unique". We
had to create a book about
ourselves with pictures and stories
of when we were born up to our
hopes for the future. These books
contained some interesting articles
such as locks of hair, a penny that
one person had swallowed and pins
from someone's mother's broken
eg!
Lately we have been learning an
easy way to do research using
"Take 45". Each person is
researching an animal such as
skunks, rabbits and wolves, etc.
