With the Academy Awards finally given out for another year you can
look forward to most of the winning films and actors showing up on home
video over the next six to eight weeks. Forrest Gump the year's biggest
recipient of Oscar gold should be in video stores at the end of the month
as will Ed Wood, The Shawshank Redemption, Blue Sky and Quiz Show.
While we are waiting for these fine films there are several new releases
to video this week also well worth checking out. Leading the list is Whale
Music "4'1/2 (Alliance), an excellent Canadian movie boasting a Genie
Award-winning performance by Maury Chaykin. The story, which is
adapted from Paul Quarrington's Award winning novel, centres on
Desmond Howl, a faded and reclusive rock star whose life is redeemed
through love and music. Cyndy Preston as the dysfunctional young
woman whose arrival triggers Desmond's salvation is equally impressive.
Highly recommended! (Rated AA)
After viewing Second Best **** (Warner) my initial reaction was to
wonder why this film wasn't nominated for any of the awards handed out
in Hollywood last week. This wonderfully moving drama set amid the
beautifully lush Welsh countryside stars William Hurt as a middle-aged
postmaster who tries to adopt an angry young boy whose mother
committed suicide and whose father is serving time in jail. Even though
this may all sound rather depressing, Second Best is anything but. In the
hands of director Chris Menges (A World Apart) this film pulls us into the
lives of real people and touches us with the resilience of the human spirit.
This is the best movie I have seen so far this year. (Rated PG)
Other new and unpreviewed releases include The Adventure of Priscilla
Queen of the Desert (Polygram), a comedy about two drag queens who
put together a cabaret act and embark on a tour of the Australian outback.
(Rated AA - coarse language)
Richard Dreyfuss and Linda Hamilton headline the cast of Silent Fall
(Warner) a drama focusing on two psychologists and a small town sheriff
as they try to communicate with an autistic boy who was the sole witness
to his parents' murder. (Rated R)
Kids may like The Pagemaster (Fox - $24.95) a mix of live-action and
animation starring Macaulay Culkin and Christopher Lloyd. (Rated G)
A couple of months ago I brought to your attention the first three
volumes of The Art of Buster Keaton which featured newly restored
versions of this great silent comedian's work. The next four volumes are
now available from Kino On Video which are released here in Canada by
CHV Communications, (1-416-633-9079). Taking nothing away from the
great Charlie Chaplin and the work of Harold Lloyd, I personally find
Keaton's inventiveness and brand of sheer physical comedy as fresh today
as audiences must have found it in the 1920s when he wrote, directed and
starred in an amazing 11 features and 19 short subjects.
The features in these latest releases include, The Navigator (1924),
Seven Chances (1925), Go West (1925) and The Battling Butler (1926) as
well as eight extremely funny short subjects. Keaton's three remaining
silent features, The General, College and Steamboat Bill Jr. will be
released in June.

FEATURING MR.
COLQUHOUN'S CLASS
As you approach room number 9
at Grey Central Public School you
can hear a gentle hum coming from
inside. That is the sound of 31
students busy at work.
Right now we are focusing on
geometry, Pythagoras and symme-
try in math. It has proved itself to
be a challenge to grasp the concepts
related to these titles. We arc,
however, learning, understanding
and still having fun all at the same
time.
As spring has arrived so have the
preparations for the yearly Kiwanas
Music Festival. This year our class
will sing as a group as well as a
group of 12 who shall perform too.
The two songs are Cindy for the
group of 12 and Shenandoah by the
entire class.
