Whaf s hot, 1
Fashion
By CHRISTY HOLLY
Staff Writer
Standing naked in front of
the closet every morning, to my
knowledge, is not an uncommon
occurrence.
I have known many, including
myself, who do just so, debating
on what to wear and
hoping that their choice will
meet toaay s requirements of
looking "hot."
Dressing according to the
times is hard to do because
fashions change faster than
most freshmen's choice of major
does.
After consulting with personnel
of the top department and
clothing stores, a few new "in"
styles and a couple of "outs"
have been called to attention.
As far as colors go, basic
black is an all-time favorite.
Magentas, periwinkles, aquas,
pinks, Hound's tooth black and
white prints and classic reds are
also a big hit this season.

This season's outfits seem t
occur in all one color, fror
head to toe. No longer is col
orblocking, such as white hos
worn with black shoes, fashioi
able. Now hose and tights ai
matched as closely as possib
to shoe color, and tops of a
outfit oftentimes are the sair
color as the pants or skirt
Taking it from the top, deco;
ated, studded and jeweled shin
are fading out during the col
weather while rugby shirts an
ribbed turtle necks are driftin
into the stores. Tie-dyed an*
neon colors are definitely dea
along with knee-length and spli
skirts.
This season the hot thread
are tight leggings or stirrup
(coming back from th
mid-'80s) worn with trapeze
shirts or sweaters over them
Corduroy shorts and plaid pant
and skirts are very popular thi
year.

1 I Movie

By BRIAN SHELTON
Staff Writer
Well, 1991 is almost over so I
guess it's time to do one of those
"year in movies" retrospectives. To
sum up, Silence of the Lambs,
Boyz N the Hood and Rocketeer
were awesome, and virtually everything
else unleashed on the
cineplexes -sucked.
Perhaps I'm being a tad harsh.
There were a few other films I
liked (Hot Shots, The Doors) and a
r.onnle. nf mnvip.? nn th/? wqv
(Hook, The Addams Family) that
look pretty impressive.
For the most part though, 1991
was to cinema what Vanilla Ice is
to talent and creativity. Speaking
of the "Iceman," the fact that he
had a role in not one but two movies
should tell you just how bad
the state of film was.
Here is just a partial list of what
I consider to be the worst films of
1991. How bad are they, you ask?
If you put a little stuffing in them,
they would make a real nice meal,
on Thanksgiving.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day:
Possibly the most disappointing
I movie I've ever seen. The pre\
views were awesome, and the
1 budget was astronomical (reporI
tedly $100 million), yet the end reI
suit was totally lame. Who wanted

Nothing But Trouble: Perfectly
accurate title for aperfectly dread
ful film. Chevy Chase, Demi
Moore and Dan Ackroyd look totally
bored (or lost) for 90 unending
minutes, and there are no
laughs in sight. What I can't figure
out is what director Ackroyd was
trying to do with this film. Who
told him it would make any more
than three bucks at the box office,
or why relatively decent rap band
Digital Underground would make
a cameo in this trash? I guess
some questions are better left
unanswered. (D-)

hate to admit that), but this was
truly painful to endure. The fight
scenes were lousy, the jokes fell
flatter than Dan Quayles's head,
and the villain (who, incidentally,
was killed in the first film) was about
as scary as my three-year-old
cousin. To make things worse,

shell of a bad movie.(D-)
Freddy's Dead: The Final
Nightmare: A better title would be

the worst (by far) of the formerly
creative Nightmare on Elm Street

Harley Davidson and the Marlboro

watching Don Johnson and Mickey
Rourke play motorcycle buddies. It
will probably take me years to get
over the horrendous acting and ludicrous
plot this movie showcases.

Sleeping with the Enemy: This
has not been a good year for Julia
Roberts. Her wedding plans fell
through, one of her movies, Dying
Young, bombed and another
cinematic endeavor, Sleeping with
the Enemy, was carved to pieces
by critics. It was still a huge hit
but, in my opinion, didn't deserve
to be. Roberts plays a battered
wife who's husband is a combination
of Adolf Hitler and Jason
from the Friday the 13th series.

There are many more bad movies

1992's offerings will be better than
this year's, but I guess that's not
going to be too difficult a task.
