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.

Recently the Grade 7/8 class at
Brussels school took a trip to the
Huron County Museum for a
presentation about World War II
and what the people at home did, to
contribute. We viewed a video
about how the people overseas sent
their children to Canada during the
War. Our class had the pleasure to
talk with a naval veteran, Mr. Jack
Hinton. He told us about his
experiences during the war. "I

APPLES ARE A-PEELING
Mr. Sanders' Grade 3 class has
been doing a unit on apples. The
unit was called Apples are A-

taste-test six different kinds of
dehydrated apples, and were treated
to some delicious apple upside-
down cake and some apple crisp.
All in all the class agrees that

been very busy lately with Term 1
winding down. Tests in French,
Self and Society, and Science are
coming up soon to determine the
outcomes of Term 1.
In Quest they're working on a

sang Peace and Beauty in 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.
