The Citizen, 1996-11-13, Page 25Saturday Canada's East Coast Answer to David Wilcox... MCA Recording Artist MATT MINGLEWOOD Country Rock & Blues Tour '5.00 At The Door Mk/ 8 West, Clinton 482-1234 •• vc4;610 By John Schedler There are plenty of new releases at your local video store this week. The most popular of these is sure to be Mission Impossible (Paramount - $24.95 or less), the big screen version of the popular 1960's television series. Although I haven't had a chance to see this film yet (no advance screening cassettes were available) the reviews have all been quite good. Mission Impossible was directed by Brian De Palma and stars Tom Cruise, Jon Voight, Henry Czerny and Vanessa Redgrave. Also available in a widescreen version. (Rated PG) Also look for three other Tom Cruise titles Top Gun, The Firm and Days of Thunder at a limited time offer of only $5.99 each. The week's second blockbuster is another remake. The Nutty Professor (MCA/Universal - $24.95 or less) which is based on the popular 1963 Jerry Lewis classic. It seems Eddie Murphy has turned his fading career around with this well-received movie that managed to score big at the box office. As for me, I simply don't watch Eddie Murphy movies anymore. (Rated PG-13) Although I enjoyed the Jerry Lewis version when it was first released I must admit it seems very dated and unfunny today. Other titles on store shelves include Boys (Touchstone) a suspense/drama about a student (Lucas Haas) who finds a semi-conscious young woman (Winona Ryder) near his school and hides her in his dorm room. (Rated PG) If horror films are up your alley then you might like to check out Hellraiser IV: Bloodline (Buena Vista). This latest installment takes place in the 22nd century on a space station where a soldier battles the evil Pinhead. (Rated R) In Sunset Park (Columbia/Tristar) Rhea Perlman plays a Brooklyn high school teacher who takes on a job coaching a basketball team even though she knows nothing about the game. (Rated R) David Schwimmer, Gwyneth Paltrow and Barbara Hershey star in The Pallbeaer (Alliance), a romantic comedy about a young man who meets the woman of his dreams at the funeral of an old classmate he can't remember. (Rated PG) Also of interest is a special edition of Entertainment Weekly Magazine covering the 100 Greatest Movie Stars of All Time. While younger movie fans won't know who many of these stars are, the concise and well written profiles make for easy and interesting reading. This is an excellent and painless way to bring yourself up to date on the great stars of the past and present. Almost all of the films mentioned in this issue are available on either home video or via various specialty cable TV channels. Highly recommended. video .X.

To end the program, the performing band played a chorale. 'On Thursday, our school took a trip to the Environmental Fair, held at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre. We talked to Morgan Bishop and Cory Quesenberry about it. "I learned what tooput in the composter and what not to." There was a game called 'Right or Wrong', you answered a question with a metal thing, and if you were right a light went on, and if you were wrong a buzzer went off. There was a man who made things out of recycled tires, like mats, a horse, and a bird. A person from the Nature Centre, showed a lot of different trees and plants. I liked the man, with the water samples. He showed us what happens to water after it goes down the sinks, toilets, and tubs. It was very interesting." There were various interesting stands, that were very informative for us. We would like to thank Mrs. Donna White and the organizing committee. On Thursday, Mr. Kemp attend- ed a meeting of the Huron County Board of Education Committee that is writing a new Grade 7-10 Cana- dian Studies curriculum. Another such committee is developing a program in mathematics, science, and technology. Recently the Grade 7/8 class got their own E-mail address. The Grade 7s address is different from the Grade 8 one. We are hoping to be able to correspond with a class from a school in British Columbia.
