Alien: Ridley Scott has directs
Alien in a manner so oblivious t
the viewer's feelings that the filn
often seems downright sinistei
Anvthine he nereeives as notpr
tially jolting (or revolting) to ai
audience he puts on screen, ir
eluding several scenes of diserr
bowelment. (R) Jefferson Square.
The Amityville Horror: Th
crummy performances of Jame
Brolin, Margot Kidder and Ro
Steiger ruin this filmization of Ja;
Anson's best-selling book. (R
Duicn square.
Breaking Away: The best er
semble acting of the yea
highlights this comedy about a
Indiana youth's dream o
becoming a champion bicycl
racer. Peter Yates (Bullitt and Th
Deep) directed with a fine eye fc
detail. (PG) Spring Valley.

The Champ: Though no one was
crying at the screening I attended,
d word has it that, while viewing
o Franco Zeffirelli's remake of King
n Vidor's 1931 classic, people are
virtually awash with tears. I don't
i- know why people are acting this
n way, but I do have three theories
i- about them: 1) they are crying
i- because they have wasted two
hours; 2) they are crying because
e they have wasted three dollars; or
s 3) they went into the theatre so
d primed to open their tear ducts
y that the slightest bit of bad news
) (such as the girl at the concession
counter announcing that the
i- theatre has sold out its supply of
r popcorn) would have been enough
n to send them running from the
>f theatre in search of Kleenex. (PG)

far into the realm of silliness the
movie will go. Past the point of no
return is the answer one finally
arrives at. (PG) Richland Mall.
9 Escape to Athena: A group of
American prisoners decides to
break out of a Nazi prison, taking
several priceless German art
treasures with them. Roger Moore
and Telly Savalas co-star. (PG)
Spring Valley
Hot Stuff: A cops-robbers
comedy with some delightfully
original twists. Dom DeLuise (who
co-stars with Suzanne Pleshette
and Jerry Reed) directed in much
the same manner as his mentor,
Mel Brooks, might have done.
(PG) Columbia Mall and Dutch
Square.
The In-Lawa: Arthur Hiller
directed this film, which is the
funniest comedy I've seen so far
this year. Peter Falk (in a
characterization not unlike
Columbo gone insane) and Alan
Arkin are hilariously effective as a
demented G-man and a paranoid
dentist who ioin toffpth#?r to mvp
the world's monetary system from
a Latin American dictator with a
penchant for big bosoms. (PG)
Spring Valley
The Main Event: Heaven
knows, I never thought I'd hate a
Barbara Streisand movie, but
there's simply nothing about this
one to like. Streisand chews up
almost every scene she appears in,
and Howard Zieff's direction is
laid-back to the point where it
looks like he radioed in his instructions
while skiing in Norway.
(PG) Columbia East
Moonraker: Like the ten James
Bond pictures that preceeded it,
Moonraker is the kind of film that
can get away with anything. The
stunts are exciting, the women are
beautiful, and Roger Moore is the

North Dallas Forty: Biting,
perceptive and excruciatingly
funny story of Phil Elliot, an aging
offensive end for the North Dallas
Bulls. As Elliot, Nick Nolte turns in
the most riveting performance I've,
seen since Robert DeNiro went on
a rampage in Martin Scorsese's
Taxi Driver. (R) Columbia Mall.
Oliver's Story: Terminally
boring sequel to the biggest hit of
1970, Love Story. Ryan O'Neal and
Candice Bergen are trapped by
ridiculous circumstances and
sappy dialogue. (PG) Columbia

pratfalls encountered by adult men
and women in their quest to reach
the top. Barbara Harris and Meryl
Streep are excellent in supporting
roles, but it's Alan Alda's complex
portrayal of the title role that holds
the film together. (R) Columbia
Mall.
me aueru farmer: Moaeraieiy
involving chiller starring Elliot
Gould, Christopher Plummer and
Susannah York. The plot, about a
bank teller who steals $50,000 for
himself during someone else's
robbery, is ingenious, but it never
lives up to its potential, thanks to
an abundance of unnecessary gore.

Superman: One of 1978's beat
