LISTINGS FILM

US. 1992) Bridget Fonda. Jennifer Jason Leigh. Steven Weber. 107 mins. FIatmate-from-hell scenario is in full force when Leigh moves into the appartment of Fonda and gradually starts taking over her looks. life and boyfriend. An intriguing character drama and rousing genre piece that packs a visceral punch without neglecting to keep one‘s grey matter engaged. Glasgow: Grosvenor. I Singles (12) (Cameron Crowe. US. 1992) Bridget Fonda. Campbell Scott. Kyra Sedgwick. Matt Dillon. 90 mins. The way it’s been sold you'd think it was some total guitar hardcore odyssey vibe. but in fact it's a honey-coated romance that just happens to take place in Seattle. There‘s a high recognition factor for twentysomethings in the audience as they watch the ensemble cast ﬁnd its way around misdirected crushes. parties from hell and crap gigs. Watch your life ﬂash before you. Edinburgh: Cameo. I Sofie (15) (Liv Ullmann. Swe/Nor/Den. 1992) Karen-Lise Mynster. Jesper Christensen. 92 mins. The directorial debut one of Ingmar Bergman's lead actresses is planted ﬁrmly in period art-house ten'itory. A family chamber piece. it tells of a Jewish spinster in turn of the century Copenhagen. who is forced into a dutiful marriage. Thoughtful. reflective and of considerable emotional depth. Glasgow: GI’T. Edinburgh: Filmhouse. I Styer Mario Bros (PG) (Rocky Morton/Annabel Jankel. US. 1993) Bob Hoskins. John Leguizamo. Dennis Hopper. 105 mins. The ﬁlm of the video game featuring Italian pipe-menders plumbs new and tedious depths. In a parallel world. they try to rescue a princess from a lizard-like baddie. but our heroes are lost in over-designed sets and variable special effects. More holes than a drain-cover. Borders: Kingsway. Strathclyde: Odeon Ayr. WMAR.AHLKHs I Sure Fire (15) (Jon Jost. US. 1990) Tom Blair. Kristi Hager. Robert Ernst. 83 mins. Blair's portrayal of mid-westem good ol' boy Wes ﬁlls the screen and the ﬁlm: a man who's more than willing to generously help out his family and friends. but expects some sort of payback in return. His obsession with developing his home town in Utah into a paradise for Californian retirees eventually leads to a shocking confrontation with his son. Glasgow: GFT. I Teenage Mutant Ninia Turtles 3 (PG) (Stuart Gillard. US. 1992) Elias Koteas. Paige Turco. Stuart Wilson. Another Turtles movie! A prospect as appealing as a pizza slice reheated for the third time. This time. they're back in l7th century Japan in order to save April. Fresh locations won't stall the diminishing returns as kid's fadish attentions have tumed elsewhere. In a straight reptile vs reptile battle in the summer cinemas. those turtles are going to squashed under the dinosaurs feet. ninja skills or not. General release. I Three of Hearts (18) (Yurek Bogayevicz. US. 1993) William Baldwin. Kelly Lynch. Sherilyn Fenn. 110 mins. Girl meets girl. Girl loses girl. Girl hires gigolo to woo girl then break her heart. so she'll come running back. Not your average Hollywood love triangle. and certainly commendable for bringing a relaxed. comic attitude to sexuality that is normally ghettoised. Glasgow: Odeon. I Torn UNI Jerry: The Movie (U) (Phil Roman. US. 1992) With the voices of Richard Kind. Dana Hill. Charlotte Rae. 84 mins. That's right: ‘with the voices of '. The world‘s greatest cat and mouse act not only talk. but sing and dance their way through their first feature. as they cope with leaving home and being out on the streets. It will divert the kids. certainly. but life-long fans will be disappointed to see (and hear) these cultural icons expand beyond sublime ﬁve-minute burst of mayhem. General release. I Thellnbearable lightnessofeeing (18) (Philip Kaufman. US. 1987) Daniel Day-Lewis. Juliette Binoche. Lena Olin. 167 mins. Ambitious adaptation of Milan Kundera's complex novel about a womanising Czech brain surgeon who falls in love for the ﬁrst time with a doe-like small-town beauty at the time of the Russian invasion of 1968. A dawdling and rather austere narrative is given some spice and interest by an overwhelming eroticism. a beautifully judged evocation of Prague and gorgeous photography. Central: MacRobert. I The Vanishing (15) (George Sluizer. US. 1993) Jeff Bridges. Kiefer Sutherland. Nancy Travis. 110 mins. Throwing subsequent credibility out of the window. Dutch director Sluizer goes to Hollywood to remake his own classic. but agrees to a screenplay that removes all of the subtleties of his original chiller. Boyfriend searches for girlfriend who disappeared at shopping centre. only to come into contact with abductor — that much is the same. but one can only compare the disasterous American decisions with the elements that made them want to do it again in the ﬁrst place. Glasgow: Odeon.
