THE HERALD Wednesday June 7 1989 Page Only Eastwood fans will like Pink Cadillac Godfathers tend to music education VIDEO BEAT I AttTHE MOVIES in ill mil 111 By DIAHANN NADEAU Herald Special Just when you thought youd seen the worst movie of the year another one comes along to make you squirm in your seat Pink Cadillac has to be a movie for die hard Clint Eastwood fans I just cant see any other possible ap peal Chnt is bounty hunter Tom Nowak a specialist in disguises LouAnn Peters is married to some whitetrash guy Timothy Carhart and li in a trailer park with him and their eightmonth old baby girl Ray the napless husband is in volved with a gang of felons and br ings home a small fortune in counterfeit money He hides it in his pink Cadillac and LouAnn ends up running off in the car Why does she finally smarten up and leave Because the e er gallant Ray let her be arrested for possession of counterfeit money Well she wont let the gang of four post her bond and so she runs off on the bondsman that Tom works for Naturally he goes after her Being the hardened housewife she is it takes him seconds to find her But oh the over yet theres still a zillion hours to go The rest of the plot is about Bir thright this neofascist organiza tion Ray belongs to You see the money in the car is real and it belongs to them Anyway the movie gets meaner by the minute especially when the militarist lunatics kidnap baby Ray Ann classy names nest-ce- So Tom ends up falling in love with Lou Ann and rescuing her baby Gee what a plot twist What a surprise Clint Eastwood basically walks through this role I guess it wasnt worth his full attention God knows the script Isnt worth a second glance but why make the damn thing if you feel that way I guess Clint hasnt been making enough money as mayor As for Peters shes wearing enough eye makeup to give Joan Collins a run for her money I think shes supposed to be a young mom but there is no way she can carry the age off She looks hard and haggard She also never acts for a second like a mother whose child has been kidnapped by ruthless vicious stupid thugs Timothy Carhart is suitable as Ray the idiot husband Michael is interesting as Alex the Birthright leader The baby is beautiful but thats sure not enough to make up for everyone else This movie really really sucks The acting is implausible the script even more so and the characters meanand depressing The rare laBghs are few and far certainly not worth the wait I think you have to love Eastwood to want to see this piece of Junk either that or be masochistic Indy gets 3V2 stars By Robert In Movie Theaters INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE PG13 The second Indi ana Jones picture The Temple of Doom may have made billions at the box office but its breathless bru talities left some of us cold Spielberg seems to have known that something was wrong with the spirit of that film because this time hes returned to the rousing playfulness of the original Raiders of the Lost Ark And by casting the wonderful Sean as Harrison professor father he strikes warm familial chords In his third cinematic adventure that intrepid anthropologist Indiana Jones searches for the Holy Grail Ru mored to be a source of eternal life the grail has been the lifelong obses sion of Indianas father Henry The Nazis are after it too and one slip pery blond Austrian Alison Doody thinks nothing of wooing both Indiana and Henry for clues to its whereabouts This movie is commercially shrewd almost to the point of genius Thrill ing action sequences are mixed with intimate moments Before one exotic location has started to pall the movie whisks us to another And theres a childlike quality to the films inven tiveness the way a simple ex change of hats can fuel a bit The movie is a playland of surprises some big some small that can make you feel deliriously happy And with its family theme the movie is touching It opens in the past when Indiana is just a boy played by the fine young actor River Phoenix Later when it settles into the loving but thorny relationship between Indi ana and Henry the movie gets a lot of mileage out of one joke Indianas plea to his dad Dont call me Ju nior Britains Godfathers have a lot to live up Their debut song last year Birth School Work Death was hailed as one of the best singles of all time by The Los Angeles Times The song tut No on Billboards college radio chart and made most of the crit ics yearend lists It was a hardrocking guitardriven blatantly political statement reminiscent of early Who or Kinks With their new album More Songs about Love and Hate they have to do again On top of that the Godfathers have something to live down Thanks to the angry tone and fatalistic attitude of their first success they found them selves labeled as rock rolls new ni hilists Its a label theyd rather see applied to say Suicidal Tendencies Were not exactly good time rock n roll boys says Chris Coyne the bands bassist But we do have a sense of humor I dont like the term nihilist and I dont like pigeonholes but as long as were throwing them around I think existentialist is a lit tle nearer Not surprisingly Britains dance- oriented musical environment has been less than accommodating to a group sporting these kinds of labels It were a baby band in America were a fetal band in England laughs Coyne Theres not a lot of bands with attitude getting played on Radio One Attitude is a good label for the Godfathers if we must have one Theyre a bunch of guys neanng 30 VIDEO RANCH MIDWEEK SPECIAL Tuesday to Thursday 2 Movies For Only
