depends on what night an audience hears the band play said Mr Pinto The band Movie Review Enemies A Love Story plays such a mix of music that it could never be classed into one category he explained Ronnie Vanzant a member of Lynyrd was the biggest influence both psychologically and as a vocalist said Mr Pinto He was really down to earth and talk ed about good things he said The band played drug songs gun songs and were the type of band that contributed to chanty without making their con tnbutions public explained Mr Pinto Touring as a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band is a good way to package the tour said Mr Pinto If you package it that way you get ore work he said People often tell Mr Pinto he sounds a lot like Ronnie Vanzant but Mr Pinto disagrees I don sound exactly like him but I guess it s close enough he said There s enough of myself in the music he said adding that every song he plays comes straight from the heart The band captures his spirit really well Lynyrd Skynyrd was the type of band that can disappear for years pop up later not advertise a concert and 30 people will show up explained Mr Pinto By DIAHANN NADEAU Herald Special ENEMIES A LOVE STORY Recently released on video

and ing industries and saw Canada transformed from a farm economy to an industrial one The country was on a roll and C D Howe was throwing the dice delightfully comic at other Enemies is one of the best films to come out in the past year The premise is superficially humorous a man marnes a woman takes a mistress her as well and finds his first wife is still alive Polygamy can be played for laughs and has been before But this time the characters are bound by their memories haunted by a past we can only tremble at and their pursuit of sex satisfaction and love is not simply the desire for happiness it the need for life to prove they re alive to push back death For these people life will never cease to be fragmented the memories will not disappear the nightmares will never stop Enemies
