By John Schedler
Heading this week's new releases is Backbeat *** (Polygram), an
intelligent rock movie that examines the early days of the Beatles during
their pre-fame days in Hamburg. Most of the film focuses on the
friendship between John Lennon (Ian Hart) and one-time "Fifth Beatle”
Stuart Sutcliffe, and their relationship with a beautiful German
photographer (Sheryl Lee).
Ian Hart who also played Lennon in the excellent 1992 film The Hours
and. Times is remarkable here, capturing Lennon's wit and the
vulnerability it masked. A very good film. (Rated R for nudity and
language).
Also worth a look are several other films dealing with the Beatles. The
bittersweet and richly nostalgic documentary The Compleat Beatles ••••
(MGM/UA - $19.95) may be the best total overview of their lives during
the group's heyday while the excellent Imagine ***1/2 (Warner - $19.95)
focuses mostly on John Lennon.
The Beatles: First U.S. Visit **** (MPI - $24.95) is a day-by-day audio
visual account of the Fab Four's New York arrival in February of 1964.
This delightful off-stage look at the group also features their three
performances on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Even though The Paper *** (MCA/Universal) was a bust both critically
and al the box office I, for one, kind of enjoyed it. The film's action takes
place over a single day at a New York tabloid and is, for the most part, a
comedy rather than hard hitting drama. The all star cast includes Michael
Keaton, Glenn Close, Robert Duvall, Randy Quaid and Marisa Tomei.
(Rated - R for language)
Recently the folks at Disney have chosen not to open several of their
Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures films in Canadian theatres, instead
they have sent them direct to home video. Among this group are Cabin
Boy starring Chris Elliott and the black coming of age story The Inkwell.
If the latest release to go this route is any indication, the studio probably
made the right choice. Holy Matrimony * (Holywood) is an obnoxious
comcdy/drama about a couple of thieves who steal a large amount of
money from a carnival and then hide out at a religious community in the
Canadian west. To say this film is condescending and stupid would be an
understatement.
Director Leonard Nimoy is capable of belter work than this. (Rated PG-
13)
FOREST FACT
(NC)—More than 32% of the Earth's
land surface is covered by forests.
Canada is the second-largest country
in the world and almost half of it—
416 million hectares, a landmass equal
in size to Europe—is covered by forests.
A few weeks back I mentioned various companies developing movie
related CD-ROM programs. Now Image Entertainment, one of the largest
laserdisc manufacturers in the world has unveiled their "Computer
Theatre" line of CD Rom's which will be available in January 1995.
Lhe titles include Arnold Schwarzenegger's original Terminator
($24.95) and the classic Superman Cartoons of Max and Dave Fleischer
($19.95) the duo who also gave the world the animated adventures of
Popeye and Belly Boop.
Dominion: lank Police Act 1 ($19.95) a violent, adult oriented animated
program from Japan and Carnosaur ($24.95) is the low budget Roger
Corman rip off of Jurassic Park.
All of the programs will be available for Windows and Macintosh
systems.
