I .lurassic Park (PG) (Steven Spielberg. US. I993) Sam Neill. Laura Dern. Jeff Goldblum. A group of scientists are invited to give their approval to a theme park filled with genetically engineered dinosaurs. but the giant reptiles are soon running amok. Unsurpassed computer effects ensure that the dinosaurs themselves are terrifyineg believable (moreso than the PG certificate would suggest). but by the halfway point. it's more or less a chase movie with superior technology.

Glover. 109 mins. In the run-down industrial north. a young boy learns some harsh lessons about life from the fate of his pet bird.

Edinburgh: MGM. I lamence 0t Arabia (PG) (David Lean. UK.
1962) Peter O'Toole. Alec Guinness. Jack Hawkins. Omar Shan'f. 222 mins. Lean‘s mammoth desert epic. restored to its director's original cut and the big screen. where film- making on this scale belongs. O'Toole's debut as the enigmatic adventurer still impresses. but apart from the majestic action sequences. it's the disturbing sense of clinical and cold-blooded
violence hanging over the highly literate characterisation that today seems especially
striking. Edinburgh: Cameo.

I Metropolis (PG) (Fritz Lang. Germany. 1926) Brigitte Helm. Alfred Abel. Gustav Frolich. 139 mins. One of the greatest films of all time. here in its longer-length. uncolorised version. free from Giorgio Moroder's tacked-on rock soundtrack. The cityscapes remain unsurpassed. although the allegory against totalitarianism is a bit naive. Edinburgh: Filmhouse.
I hiuch Ado About Nothing (PG) (Kenneth Branagh. UK/US. I993) Denzel Washington. Kenneth Branagh. Emma Thompson. Keanu Reeves. lll mins.

I Ilfltt of the living Dead(18)(Tom Savini. US. 1991) Tony Todd. Patricia Tallman. Tom Towles. 96 mins. Not as influential as Romero's original. but this remake by horror sfx grandmeister Savini is more intelligent and terrifying than the other zombie ripoffs that have oozed their rotting flesh onto the market. With a heroine in the Ripley mould. it's toughened up for an apocalyptic scenario. Fife: Robins.
