Page 16, News, Tuesday, July 24, 1990 Carolyn s Critique By Carolyn Williams : "Black Roses" Rated 'R'. Starring: John Martin, Ken Swofford, Julie Adams, and Carla Ferrigno. This movie gives a bad name to the term 'horror film'. It was slow-moving, the monsters were incredibly fake, and the only real horror was the acting. Black Roses is the name of a heavy metal group that comes to Mill Basin. As in all cheap hor- ror films, the town is small, quiet and boring, boring, boring. The kids are ecstatic that the band is putting on four concerts, so natu- rally the parents are against it. But these guys are slick. They fool the parents by acting all goody-goody, and once approval is granted, the true nature of the band emerges. The leader of the group is Damian. Can you guess where this is heading? Give yourself 100 points if you guessed they work for the Devil. The concerts start to affect the children. After each one they act more like punks and hoodlums. During the third concert, a spotlight hits the kids individually and turns them into monsters. (I've seen better mon- sters in a wax museum.) Now the kids start murdering the adults. One of the girls tries to seduce her teacher (the only adult who figures out something is wrong). When he says no, she turns into a monster. Now, I don't know about you folks, but when some- one's mouth is suddenly filled with carnivorous teeth, their arm is turned into a gnarled bone with claws, and their body is covered in a blue glow- I'd be on a bus to South America before you could say "Halloween Lives". So does our hero get out? No! He stays to watch the show and then seems surprised when she attacks him. The ending is really laughable. The teacher and Damian (in his devil guise) slug it out in the silli- est monster fight since Godzilla meets King Kong. I give Black Roses a "1". "Heart Condition" Rated 'R' Starring: Bob Hoskins, Denzel Washington, Chloe Webb, and Roger Mosley. This move is a replay of the old theme "Ghost comes back to get revenge on his murderer". But.this. movie does it so fine, you don't mind. Bob Hoskins is Mooney- a mean, bigoted, little man who drinks too much, smokes too much and eats too much. Mooney is a cop. Denzel Washington is Napoleon Stone- a good-looking, finely-dressed lawyer who enjoys the good things in life. Stone is black. And there starts the trouble. Mooney's girlfriend Krystal (from the movie Sid and Nancy) leaves him and becomes a hooker. Stone is her lawyer, but because he is black, Mooney can't believe that Stone isn't pimping for her. Mooney harasses Stone at-every opportunity. Because of this con- stant aggravation and his personal lifestyle, Mooney has a major heart attack. He is going to die without a transplant. By a twist of fate, Stone is killed in a car accident that same night. It turns out that he and Mooney area per- fect tissue match and Mooney wakes up with Stone's heart in him. Mooney's fellow cops take every opportunity to tease him and he is not pleased. He refuses to follow his doctor's advice to cut out the booze, cigarettes, and greasy foods. Stone's ghost comes back and forces Mooney to change his ways. HE convinces Mooney. that someone murdered him and he wants help finding out who. Stone believes that Krystal is in danger because of what she knows. Together, these two unlikely partners try to right what is wrong. This movie is filled with humor, tragedy, compassion, and a true sense of humanity. Through trial and error, time, and eventual friendship, Mooney learns the golden rule- "Everyone is equal and should be treated as such". Heart Condition is a fine example of people from different environments coming together for the common good of others. I give Heart Condition a "10".

As the trend in eating moves away from meat, seafood gains a new popularity The wives of New England fisher- men have been known to sing a song to quiet their children, who were anxious for their fathers' return from the sea: You shall have a fishy, On a little dishy, You shall have a fishy when the boat comes in. If the fish they awaited was prepared anything like the creations in Patrice Boély's The Joy of Seafood (Barron's, $9.95), the children were probably even . more eager for the boat to come back. With the trend in modern eating moving away from meat, seafood is enjoying fremendous popularity in restaurants. Boély, who is the chef in his own Manhattan restaurant, Stoffa, says that in the United States the move from meat to fish has been especially dramatic. But although customers are ordering seafood in restaurants, it is difficult to know how many are cooking it for themselves at home or would like to but don't know how. So timely indeed is Boély's latest book of recipes, accom- panied by mouthwatering photographs and useful instructions. Boély is a native of Corsica, where he first learned to love seafood. He has a no-nonsense manner and the seemingly boundless energy that peo- ple passionate about their work tend to possess. He holds the title of Programs Swimming Program- Just a reminder that the August session of lessons will begin on Monday, July 30. Lesson schedules are posted at the pool. a Summer Playground- The past week has been very exciting for the Summer Playground. The children toured the Police Station, Bakery, Hospital, and Birchwood Terrace. Next week the staff are planning outdoor events- Slip and Slide Day and Fun in the Sun at the beach. The Ernie and Bert Maitre-Cuisinier de France, the high- est honor French chefs can bestow on a colleague. "JT enjoy cooking fish because it is a game, a constant challenge," says Boély. "With other foods, timing can be more or less relaxed. But timing is all- important in cooking fish." Seafood lovers know the effort is more than worth it. There is nothing quite like a properly prepared bouillabaisse made with the freshest fish and served with homemade mayonnaise. What satisfac- tion there is in sitting with a friend amidst a mountain of crab shells and old newspaper or in slowly extracting mus- sels from their hot, spicy black shells. Reproduced here is a recipe for a simple shrimp dish. It is easy to make but the taste is very refined.
