pi6 weekender august31 1983 weekender begjni country inning 4m wivhmioft sum hilktum orjiki weekender movie scene teen wolf theres a lesson here by ian bailey teen wolf you just cant take a werewolf seriously anymore when the beasts have been featured in such recent movies as the howling and an american werewolf in london they have- been played for laughs first and horror second now in teen wolf the werewolf is used to teach a moral lesson about of all things being true to yourself this situation arises when michael j fox from family tiesx playing the same kind of small town boy he played in this summers back to the future starts to change into a werewolf the symptoms are obvious sensitivity to dog whistles sprouts of dark hair lupine earlobes and a hoarse snarl what isnt so obvious however is the direction the movie takes when fox finally changes into a full blown wolf creature that looks surprisingly like lon chaney jr in the 1941 classic the wolfman it seems that his dad james hampton is also a werewolf the trait is passed down the family bloodline like eye color or a shape of chin and he sits down with his son to ex plain the canine facts of life including the fact that with certain obvious excep tions werewolves are people like everyone else right the script by joeseph loeb and matthew weisman keeps pushing things further down an ever wilder satirical tilt to the point where fox realizes that as a wolf- man he can play a great basketball game and is incredibly popular with his peers he must then decide whether hes going to be a teenager or a werewolf and consider another of dads homilies with great pow er comes great responsibility coming so close to foxs summer hit the clever time travel adventure back to the future teen wolf has all the scent of rip- off but the satirical direction taken by its makers lets it stand on its own and makes this simple nonsense quite amusing its attempts to turn the werewolf myth upside down are aided by foxs practiced air of befuddled panic thornhill square pg thornhill square american ninja a martial arts adventure from the producers of missing in action and lifeforce aa volunteersnot quite the satirical

boyd kim jones mike healey dawna ellis randy ellis rita sgro rose sgro and nancy sgro might have hoped for but nonetheless a weird and amusing comic adventure featuring a reteaming of tom hanks and john candy the stars of splash aa markville compromising positions when originality is nowhere in sight in a movies plot you can still sometimes look to enjoy the dramatic detail that skilled performers bring to their characters thats about all you can look for in this droll mystery which often seems like a madefortv movie done on the big screen susan sarandon plays a suburban housewife who tries to find out who murdered her dentist a philandering cad involved in illicit pornography the plot offers all the twists of an episode of murder she wrote but the wideeyed sarandon is a beguiling lead and she is helped along by the sharp characteriza tions of costars raul julia anne desalvo and especially judith ivey as a sarcastic artist nicely directed in closed suburban settings by frank monsignor perry aa gremlins a rerelease of direc tor joe explorers dantes film from last summer its a clever blend of fantasy hor ror and science fiction about a horde of voracious creatures

frightening scenes alternating with follow that bird peewees big adventure a pretty dumb movie wherein cult comedy star pee- wee herman paul reubens sets out on a crosscountry search for his stolen bicycle fans may enjoy peewees pecu liarities but strangers to the character can expect a long dull ordeal where laughter is an embarassed reaction to a movie that sets out to plumb the depths of movie bad ness and succeeds in sinking lower than any other movie has this summer f year of the dragon imagine archie bunker without meathead edith gloria or the jeffersons to put his opinions in
