Page 13, News, Tuesday, September 24 1991 Carolyn's Critique Making Contact Starring Johsua Morell, Eva Kryzz and Tammy Sheilds. This movie starts out with great potential. It very quickly gets to the meat of the story in a Style reminiscent of those great Steven Speilberg films, E.T. and Batteries Not Includ- ed. Unfortunately, that old say- ing "imitation is the truest form of flattery" could not be said here. The intenseness quickly dies as plot angles and charac- ter definitions are not fully pol- ished. The story becomes unbeliev- able as certain common sense points are overlooked and we are expected to accept the total stupidity of some people and the chaos they inflict. The movie opens with a funeral. A man is dead. His wife and son grieve for him. But is he really gone for good? No! It seems dear old dad has completely taken to heart the sentiment of "reach out and touch somebody." He uses a toy phone to communicate with Joey, his son, from beyond death. Boy! Talk about your long distance. Naturally, when he speaks about it, his mother doesn't believe him and the other kids laugh at him. Next, and for no clear rea- son, his toy robot and his dog lead Joey up to the old aban- doned mansion on the hill. Once there, Joey finds a ven- triloquist's dummy, which he takes home. Soon, his troubles begin. The dummy comes alive and tries to convince Joey that it is not his father who is talking to him on the toy phone. It is real- ly Johnathan Fletcher, past Terrace Bay Curling Club Semi - Annual Meeting Thursday, Oct. 3, 1991 at 7:30 p.m. in Curling Club Lounge A warm welcome to all new curlers! _ owner of the mansion on the hill, who was a famous ventril- oquist in the 1920s until rumours of black magic destroyed his career. Of course, Fletcher is really the dummy, and he wants to control Joey, . but why is not fully explained. The dummy threatens to harm Laura, Joey's mother, if Joey doesn't listen. Naturally, Joey's reaction is to bury the dummy. But, like the proverbial bad penny, the dummy is brought back into the house by Martin, who is Joey's teacher. Martin and Laura know each other well enough for him to stay to dinner, but their relationship is never clear- ly defined. continued on page 14 The children of Flora and.
