western ■• • arolinian features January 21, 1998 The Lost Weekend wcu to Screen New by Alex Esmon Last weekend, I caught the flu. Do to my incapacitation, I was unable to make my way to the theater and watch a new release. Therefore, I call it the "Lost Weekend," not because I went on a bender like the lead character in the movie of the same name (he won an Oscar!), but because I missed being at the theater. I know that you are all mourning the absence of my wisdom this week, but fear not! I shall be back next week with another movie review. Please don't send too many get-well cards! I don't have enough strength to make it through the hoards of letters I know you all would send me. I did manage to read the paper this weekend in between trips to the cool comfort of the toilet bowl. (For three days I was affectionately known as "El-Barf-O" and "Captain Puke.") In case you were wondering, a handful of films opened this weekend, none of which look to be real earth-shattering events. "Fallen" (R), "Half-baked" (R), and "Hard Rain" (R) all opened this weekend to poor reviews and, from what I hear, even poorer ticket sales. For those poor souls interested in knowing, "Spice World" opens on the 23rd. You do of course realize that when you buy your ticket for this film, your name automatically is entered into a worldwide database of people suffering from a serious case of bad taste. You won't be able to show your face at a decent film ever again! Finally, the Golden Globes were Sunday night and as expected, "Titanic" took home the award for best picture in the category of drama. "As Good As It Gets" won the award for best picture in the comedy category, while both Helen Hunt and Jack Nicholson won awards for their parts in the film. "The X-Files" won the award for best television show in the category of drama, beating out some pretty stiff competition ("ER," "Chicago Hope," "NYPD Blue"). The unexpected event of the evening was Peter Fonda ("Easy Rider") receiving the best actor award for his role in the critically acclaimed summer time independent film "Ulee's Gold." Fonda also delivered the line of the night: "It's good to be back!" You think Burt Reynolds agrees? Well, my strength is beginning to fail so I'd better make my way back to the cubbyhole conveniently located next to my good friend the toilet. Time for more Jell-0 and Gatorade... seeing as those are the two main components of my diet this week. See you next week! Cullowhee Valley Rentals, Inc.

Feb. 10—"City of Lost Children," a French film about a scientist who steals children's dreams, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet ("Alien Resurrection"). Feb. 17—"Welcome to the Dollhouse," winner of the Sundance Film Festival's Grand Jury Prize, a scathing look at the horrors of growing up. March 2—"II Postino," the Oscar-nominated Italian movie about a postman's unlikely friendship with exiled Chilean poet Pablo Neruda. March 17—"Everyone's Child," a tragic, heart-wrenching tale of an African "Welcome to the Dollhouse" will be among the independent films presented during WCU's "Against the Grain" film series. family devastated by AIDS. April 1—"Trainspotting," the notorious portrayal of heroin addiction in the '90s, which focuses on a group of friends in and out of scams, treatment centers and drug-induced comas.

For more information about the "Against the Grain" film series, call the University Center offices at (704) 228-7206. New This Week: 'Nothing to Lose' by Alex Esmon New this week to video stores is the buddy comedy "Nothing to Lose" starring Martin Lawrence and Tim Robbins. Nick Beam (Robbins) is an upwardly mobile advertising executive who works for a scrutinizing boss, Phillip Barlow (Michael McKean). After having to stay late at the office because of a request by his boss, Nick rushes home to be with his wife (Kelly Preston). But when he walks in, he discovers that she's having sex...with his boss! This sends Nick on a downward spiral of emotions which is capped off when T. Paul Davidson (Lawrence), a small-time thief, tries to carjack him. He picked the wrong man! The two men become attached to one another and begin a spree of mayhem which knows no 77m Robbins and Martin Lawrence in "Nothing to Lose." bounds. The rest of the film is a mixture of good (and not-so-good) comedy and a little action. The performances aren't anything great, but they are amusing. "Nothing to Lose" is a far cry better than last week's "Money Talks." Tim Robbins ("The Shawshank Redemption," "The Player," and "I.Q.") steps out of his serious mode (which he's very good at) and seems to have a lot of fun in "Nothing to Lose." Martin Lawrence ("Bad Boys," "The Thin Line Between Love and Hate," and the TV show "Martin") is his normal boisterous self, walking a line between frantic- ness and control. "Nothing to Lose" is rated R for strong language and sexual situations. "Nothing to Lose" is available at Smoky Mountain Video in Sylva across from the Arby's.
