'Internal
loses pur
By DAVID BOWDEN
Staff Writer
Internal Affairs is a well crafte<
thriller with plenty of sex and vio
lence for the whole family.
The plot centers around a dedi
cated cop in the L.A.P.D. Interna
Affairs Department (Andy Garcia
who gets in conflict with the mos
lAmupi uup ui an uuie, piayeu u;
Richard Gere.
This sets up a classic good vs
evil confrontation, with Garcia an*
Gere being good and evil respec
tively. Recently, many movie
have tried to compare the personal
ity of the hero with that of the vil
lain (most notably Batman). Inter
nal Affairs does better than most.
The two main characters an
compared constantly. They ar
both shown to be hot-headed jerk
who regularly beat up people, ex
cept that Garcia's character is oi
the side of the law. Each is showi
at home with their families. The;
even have the same hair-cut.
With all this literary duality-of
man stuff, this movie could hav<
been really bad. It is not. It is ven
entertaining most of the wa]
through. This is partly due to th<
good direction by Michael Figgi:
(he also made the underrate*
Stormy Monday) and the very goo<
performance by Richard Gere.
Gere is ereat because he plays ;
villain who isn't crazy; he is jus
plain evil. He isn't complete!;
heartless, though. He does a toi
of bad things, but he actually look
like he regrets some of it. Thei
again, he strangles his partner s<
that he won't talk to the interna
affairs guys.

Review
1
) Andy Garcia does pretty well
t too, but it's always harder playing
f the good guy. Garcia stares and
glares a lot, but he begins to look
silly after a while. His character is
slightly on edge. For example, he
i thinks his wife is having an affair,
though he has virtually no
s evidence.
His wife is played by Nancy
Travis, who wins the "Andie
McDowell Look-Alike Contest."
She has a thankless role as the
target of revenge for the bad guys.
2 It is a shame that the wives of die
e heroes in action movies are almost
s always endangered in some way.
The movie burns out threen
quarters of the way through, en11
ding very unsatisfactorily. This is
y very disappointing because the big
dramatic clash, which builds the
whole movie between Garcia and
Gere, ends rather strangely.
" Internal Affairs is not a standard
action movie. Rarely is sex used as
a weapon in a non-pornographic
g movie. As a matter of fact, sex ac}
tually beats out violence as the
j main (potentially) offensive feature
of the movie.
a One nit-picking criticism is that
t Nancy Travis is forced to wear
y preposterously short skirts at work
1 that make her look silly, especially
s since her character is a museum
1 curator. While Travis looks very
3 nice in such outfits, most business
I women are a little more conservatively
dressed on the job.

Psssst. Yo, buddy.
You can stop sneaking into your
wife's beauty cream. Stop slinking
around cosmetics counters.
Hey, look, it's the '90s. Times
have changed.
"Men have begun to come to
grips with their masculinity in a
less stereotyped way. They can
say, 'I can use this treatment
cream, and I'm still a man.' But
men have to be taught to use the
product. They haven't used them
since they were a teen-ager."
See? That's Byron Donics talking.
President of the Aramis division
of men's skin care products
for Estee Lauder.
Gotta get with it, man.
Fourteen years ago, Estee
Lauder's Clinique division sold the
first dermatologically designed line
of cosmetics made specifically for
men.
women s products aren i ior
men, the makeup makers say, because
a man's skin is thicker, oilier
and has larger pores. Men also
have special shaving-related problems
such as ingrown hairs.
Hey, no need to blush. You're
not alone. Sales are growing about
15 percent a year. Seventy-five
million bucks last year.
Now, nobody's calling that a
boom, especially with women
shelling out $2.5 billion a year,

and American favorites.
Since arriving in the U.S., Sheynkman,
has established himself as
_ the only "serious" Russian balalaikist
outside the Soviet Union.
n Sheynkman has appeared with
H such major orchestras as the Los

National Orchestra and Utah Symphony.
lt Like his partner, Richard Pattera
son has also performed all over the

with Sheynkman is "an ideal
