V\ By David Baker Gamecock FHm Critic 0The Amityville Horror: The crummy performances of James Brolin, Margot Kidder and Rod Steiger ruin this filmization of Jay Anson's best-selling book. (R) Dutch Square. Breaking Away: The best ensemble acting of the year hitjhliuhtc fHie onmoHv aKnnf or? w uwuv Mil Indiana youth's dream of becoming a champion bicycle racer. Peter Yates (Bullitt and The Deep) directed with a fine eye for detail. (PG) Spring Valley. The China Syndrome: Jane Fonda, Michael Douglas and Jack Lemmon are all suDerb in this frightening essay about the dangers of nuclear power. James Bridges directed. (PG) Columbia East. The Concorde: Airoort '79: The fun in watching Airport '79 comes from trying to figure out just how 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. Days of Heaven: Nestor Almendros won an Oscar for the stunning work he did in photographing this lush melodrama about a dying farmer and the three migrant workers who exploit him. Richard Gere, Brooke Adams, Linda Manz and playwright Sam Shepard are excellent in the leading roles, and Terrence Mallick's direction is flawless. (PG) Nickelodeon. 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, I I V 1 Jt* 'The Legacy< / eeken Mel Brooks, might have done. (PG) Dutch Square. The Innocent: See review this issue. (R) Jefferson Square. The Legacy: Katherine Ross and Sam Elliot make an appealing twosome in tnis new horror picture which features a number of extraordinarily gruesome murders. _ (R) Fox and Spring Valley. Love and Bullets: Action adventure starring Charles Bronson, Jill Ireland and Rod Steiger. (PG) Bush River Mall and Spring Valley. The Main Event; Heaven knows, 1 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 111- ~ l 11 1 i?

(PG) Columbia East. mMoonraker: Like the ten James RnnH nintiirpc that nr<w>tu?H<vl it I'*v??vu l#.vvvvuv? ?V, 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 picture of elegance as 007. Easily the best film of the summer ? one of the classiest movies of the year. (PG) Columbia Mall. The Muppet Movie: Steve Martin, Mel Brooks, Richard Pryor and Madeline Kahn join Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy in their first bic-screen ex travaganza.
