Sir Ian McKellin gives Richard III true character as hj sets about his dastardly plan to rule 1930s England. Fans of Die Hard will love this. Thjti's nothing wrong with taking inspiration from Shakespeare and adding to it. A clever script makes this well worth seeing. ——————————————————————————————————2/6—— Reviewed by Leslie Bundjr THE LIFE OF KAVANA QT p444 Kavana Furry Angst MatesP443 Teletext 443 Apr28 22:47:04 THIS WEEK'S NEW RELEASES ————————————————————————————— —— THE BIRDCAGE (15) As long as you leave your brain at the door, this pink-fest will have you crying out for more. It's about a gay couple (Robin Williams and Nathan Lane) whose 'son' wants to marry the daughter of a straight-laced Senator (Gene Hackman). The resulting farce is screamingly funny, even when stereotypes threaten to overwhelm the witty script. ——————————————————————————————————3/6—— Nick saves the day 446 SUPER FURRY ANIMALS! p445 Kavana Furry Angst MatesP443 Teletext 443 Apr28 22:11:45 THIS WEEK'S NEW RELEASES ————————————————————————————— —— THE BIRDCAGE (15) Although a re-make of a classic French flick, this Hollywood vjtsion is in some ways bjttet. Star turns by over-the-top Nathan Lane and Hank Azaria as the maid will split your sides, and Gene Hackman in a dress is the icing on the cake. For once, Robin Williams manages to toni down his performance and let others steal the scenes. And it's a better film for it. ——————————————————————————————————4/6—— Review by KT Bell YOUR STORIES ARE SPOOKY! p449 Kavana Furry Angst MatesP443 Teletext 443 Apr28 22:15:45 THIS WEEK'S NEW RELEASES ————————————————————————————— —— SAFE (15) The trouble with making a film about dull people is that it's likely the film will be dull too. Safe is about an "average" American woman, Carol, who gradually finds she is allergic to evjtydaz chemicals. She has coughing fits from car fumes and vomits dui to hubby's deodorant (although hj's so unpleasant - it could just have been him). Never has a perm seemed so scary! ——————————————————————————————————5/6—— Reviewed bz Jacqui Hazjll KAVANA - WHAT A QT! p444 Kavana Furry Angst MatesP443 Teletext 443 Apr28 22:19:51 THIS WEEK'S NEW RELEASES ————————————————————————————— —— SAFE (15) Safe certainly has a few laughs with Californian women who think wrapping a gift well is "sooo creative". And friends advise allergic Carol to "slow down a little" - when in fact hit life couldn't bj slower! Despite the odd laugh between yawns, only go if you have two hours to spare and a fascination with the empty lives of American housewives. ——————————————————————————————————6/6—— Reviewed by Jacqui Hazell SUPER FURRY ANIMALS AHOY! p445 Kavana Furry Angst Mates
