'New' Twilite he
9 for those old eno
By TOM HUNT
Features reporter
Friday the 13th doesn't
always have to mean bad luck.
On Feb. 13, the "new" Twilite
nightclub, at 1928 Rosewood
Drive, opened its doors to the
public.
That's the same location as
the old Twilite, but two young
entrepreneurs have purchased
^ the club and plan to bring it a
new shine.
For natrons nf thr* r?IH
Twilitc, as well as those who
have never gone there, a lot of
improvements have been made
to tickle the partying fancy.
The atmosphere is mostly
the same ? a big bar, lots of
space, good drinking prices
and classic rock 'n' roll music
? but there are some great
& new attractions.
The floor has new carpet.
The walls boast fresh paint.
The bar top is new and
smooth. There's another pool
table, and a great new sound
system that will definitely add
to the rocking atmosphere.
In the planning stages are a
new snack bar in the rear, and
live band concerts on a stage in
the front.
On the drinking side, say
goodbye to the wimpy light
draft beer that once flowed
from T w i 1 i t e ' s kegs.

will now be offered.
Also say goodbye to the old
cover charge. There won't be
one except on Wednesdays
and Fridays; a mere $2. But
there are great prices on pitchers
and vodka to gel the
most out of a drinking dollar
on those nights.
Study early; happy hour occurs
every day at the club from
5 to 8 p.m. Other drinking
specials then occur deep into
the night.
Different specials are offered
every night of the week,
such as $6 for a pitcher of
Long Island ice tea on Tuesday,
$1.50 for rum on Thursday,
and $1.50 for pitchers of
brew on Friday.
The atmosphere is casual, so
dress to hang out or dress to
impress. Either way, be
prepared to dance to some
classic rock, as well as the
dance/Top 40 mix.
For those who aren't yet 21,
don't bother to try bribing the
bouncer. No one under 21 will
be allowed to cross into the
"Twilitc /one."
Twilite's new hours are
from 5 p.m. until late closing
daily except lor Saturdays,
when the club closes at midnight.
Sunday is the stal l 's day
off and the students' day to
catch up on neglected studies
? until Monday night.

Familiar faces in Sid<

Features reporter
Sonic working faces that have lom: been
lamuiat to students at SAGA's Sidewalk ( "ale
in the Humanities Office Building are no
longer there. They were recently moved to
other campus food service locations, and
none of them are happy about the change.
Thomas Hammond, Vertical Jones and
Alberta Mack worked at the Side
walk Cafe for a combined tenure of more
than 19 years. They said they were removed in
the third week of this semester because they
were accused of giving away food and/or
stealing money.
Jones, who was supervisor of the cafe for
more than 10 years, said, " I hat's ridiculous.
We used to do stop audits just to see if the
cash report was correct, and we never found
anything wrong.
"The management of SAGA gave me a
job, but with none of the respect that comes
with it. The only thing I did wrong was being
loyal to this company," she said.
"I never accused them of stealing money or
giving away food," said Carl Chandler,
senior food service director for the southeast
region of SAGA. "But it was a business dcci

'Ansel Heart' a
?-7
By ANDY HKCHTKL
Assistant cop> desk chief
Veteran British filmmaker Alan Parker's
new movie, "Angel Heart," finds him shifting
styles as always, creating a detective story
with a mystical twist.
Set m New York and New Orleans in 1955,
the film features Mickey Rourke as scruffy,
gumshoe detective Harry Angel. I he
stereotypical '50s private eye. Angel sports a
constant three-day growth of facial hair and
frequently smokes.
The enigmatic Louis Cyphre, played by
Robert DeNiro, hires Angel to track down ;i
crooner named Johnny Favorite, a one-hit
wonder of the late 1930s last seen in 1942. He
gives Angel the bare essentials on the ease and
periodically turns up to check on his p.ogress.
Hindering Angel's investigation is a series
of murders of those who have information on
l-avoritc. To make matters worse, the police
suspect Angel in the murders.

Hammond had worked at the cafc for more
than six years. He said lie was told he was a
poor cashier, and was moved to the Grand
Marketplace cafeteria in Russell House as a
cashier.
"I've got to work one way or another, but
we're all looking for another job," he said. "I
wouldn't take my job back, either. I don't
want any handouts."

Favorite's trail leads to New Orleans, where
the mysterious killings continue. Angel gets a
break in the investigation when he meets a
young voodoo priestess named Epiphany Proudfoot
(names are important in this film),
played by Lisa Bonet of The C osby Show.
Parker's synthesis of a traditional detective
story and a talc of the occult works well, a
merging that creates a cross between "The
Maltese Falcon" and "The Exorcist." Parker
takes the best elements of ih mnvipc fn

aplenty.
Parker's views of New York and New
Orleans are different from other films. These
cities have been filmed from just about every
angle over the years, but he presents both in a
fresh light. He doesn't feature the occult just
to cash in on the current horror craze, and his
use of violence and nudity, while not for
everyone, is tasteful.
Parker carefully avoids the obvious, which

Hammond, Jones and Mack filed a complaint
with the state labor board, which sent a
letter to Chandler. In the letter, the board
agreed the transfer was handled in a proper
way and said the transfer of employees was
OK, as long as the salaries or work hours
weren't changed. Nothing of that sort

is the key to the film's success. Even Rourkc,
playing the classic detective, manages to
transcend what seems, at first, to be a cliched
character. His performance here shows him to
be a respectable actor, but after his role in the
dismal "9 1/2 Weeks," he had nowhere to go
but up.
Another secret to the success of "Ani>el
Heart" is Roben DeNiro's typical excellent
performance. Perhaps the best American actor
working today, DeNiro is aina/.ing if only
for the variety of characters he plays in films
such as "Taxi Driver" and "The King of
Comedy." He works well here as the
mysterious, low-key Cyphre.
Lesser directors might vrely on impressive
cinematography to carry their films, but
Parker pushes for more than just art for art's
sake. His skillful direction makes "An^el
Heart" one of the best mysteries in a long
time.
