mm markham movie scene economist suntribune april 17 1985 b5 ladyhawke beats credibility factor by ian bailey- ladyhawkeas in such films as the omen and superman director richard donner makes this fantasy work quite well by helping its unlikely premise over the hurdle of credibility t donner used this skill on the omen the unlikely tale of satan spiriting his son into a powerful american family by turning it into a grandiose and moody mystery with superman he balanced a deft touch for light comedy with comic hook specta cle la both cases he set the tone whether moody or light for the sequels that fol lowed his next film is the goonies a steven spielberg production due out this summer in ladyhawke donner focuses on the romantic spirit of a tale that might have sounded better being read to kids than being filmed the result is an exciting and magical tale that is actually quite emo tionally engaging rutger hauer from bladerunner and michelle pfeiffer into the night star as lovers in a medieval land who have been cursed by a jealous bishop john wood from war games their passion can never be consummated because by day she is transformed into a hawk while he remains human by night the situation is reversed as he becomes a wolf while she is takes human form matthew broderick also from war games is a young pickpocket who encounters the lovers and sets out to break the curse although magic as seen from the fearful religious perspective of medieval europe permeates this tale donner gives it second shrift to what drags you into the story the unfulfilled romance of the cursed lovers ladyiawke is never more compelling than when it depicts the lovers confronting the bestial forms that each other wears and wondering about each other broderick s character serves as an effective outsider looking in on their plight there are magical unexplainable matters here and i beg you not to make me part of them his character pleads yet he and we are drawn into them as donner develops the curse in a manner that may not be straightforward but does make it hauntingly real the thrilling action sequences and the films lush period detail follow quite nice ly but they merely complement the appeal of the plight if only for its running time this film makes you believe in childhood fantasy stories againpg markville markville to help host local education week presentations and displays by

prove that the biblical epic as a genre didnt die with moviemaker cecil b de- mille certainly has its moments some such as king david richard gere danc ing through the streets of jerusalem in a white loincloth will leave you helpless on the floor of the theatre laughing the movie also suffers by trying to cover too much in too little time from davids bat tle with goliath to his victory over king saul to his passion for bathsheba alice krige theres alot of ground to cover and the miracle here is that the film does it in under two hours the price is that it leaves many interesting situations undeveloped yet there are other moments here such as the pivotal battle between the israelites and the phillistines wherein the israelites are outnumbered by 20000 men plus any scene that has the splendid australian actor edward woodward in his thunderous depiction of mad king saul if you can overlook the fact that richard gere is way out of his acting depth in detailing the com plex character of david this film can be enjoyed for the epic sweep of its story and a femmdos fmily restaurant under new management isoyanfs riortffpfhwv7 west side of main st markham milage shoppes plaza 2946523
