Leading off this week's new releases is one of the year's best films.
Apollo 13 **** (MCA/Universal) - $24.95 or less) tells the story of the
third near-disastrous manned mission to the moon and is an amazingly
suspenseful and exciting movie even if you know the outcome of the
story. Tom Hanks proves yet again that he is one of the finest actors
working in the movies today and director Ron Howard is back in top form
after a few less than exciting films. Others in the strong supporting cast
include Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise, Ed Harris and Kathleen
Quinlan. Highly recommended! (Rated PG)
Also worth checking out is Apollo 13: To The Edge And Back ****
(MCA/Universal - $12.95), the riveting Emmy nominated documentary
which features interviews with original crew members, their families, and
NASA officials as well as extensive archival footage.
I wish I could be just as excited about Congo ** (Paramount), but
unfortunately this dull (except for about 10 minutes) jungle adventure
about a talking gorilla and a lost city rich in diamonds just isn't any fun.
Based on the novel by Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park), Congo does
boast superb special effects, but the pacing is far too slow and those final
scenes are so sweet and cuddly you may want to gag. (Rated PG-13)
With the term "Cyberspace" being used almost as much as "information
super highway" quick buck movie producers have jumped on the hi-tech
bandwagon with the release of several low budget thrillers like Cyber
Tracker 1 & 2, Cyber Bandits, Cyberzone and the Canadian produced
Johnny Mnemonic *1/2 (Alliance). The latter follows a courier (Keanu
Reeves) who stores information in his brain which he must download
before it kills him. The trouble is he is unable to do this thanks to a group
of killers who want to cut off his head and freeze it in a vat of liquid
nitrogen. Even though the film does have some good visual style, the
acting, script and direction turn the whole affair into a mish mash of
cliches. YAWN! (Rated R)
Although you probably won't find Picture Bride *** (Alliance) in too
many of your local video shops it is well worth asking for. This delicate
and compelling film follows the story of an 18 year old Japanese "picture
bride", who immigrates to Hawaii only to discover her new husband bears
little resemblance to the handsome young man in the photograph. In
English and Japanese with some sub-titles. (Rated PG)
Other new and unpreviewed releases available this week include Mighty
Morphin Power Rangers (Fox - $22.95 or less) the big screen movie
version of the popular television program. (Rated PG)
In Twin Sitters (ColumbiafTristar) WWF wrestling stars the Barbarian
Brothers play waiters who are hired to protect two young boys from mob
hit men. (Rated PG)
Lily In Winter (MCA/Universal) stars singer Natalie Cole as a
Manhattan housekeeper who returns to her Alabama town with her
employer's young son as a stowaway. (Rated PG)
Families may also enjoy Fluke (MGM/UA) a comedy drama about a
man who is turned into a dog starring Nancy Travis and Eric Stolz. (Rated
PG)

up. We are looking forward to our
next cooking class. Thank you Mrs.

a wonderful day and got a lot of
good ideas that she will be trying
out on us. She brought us sale

tax, making change, etc. Her going
to a math conference means more

On Thursday, Nov. 16 Mr. Tea11
had an opportunity to attend a
seminar on, "Independent Work
Groups." These groups recognize
the need for groups to be
responsible to other group
members, for their actions to
produce a product, the need to have
a group leader, timer and recorder,
and how through this process the
group is able to take on more
power and authority. Through this
group work process, group
members are able to see success
and professional growth.
