But the film deserves credfor its celebration of life, complete with rell-developed characters and subtle hulor. Liotta plays Manny Singer, an adertising jingle writer whose wife's rernt death has left him in deep denial; nd at one point, the camera shows the nages of a home movie featuring his ife projected across his body as he tries ard to forget the deep love he once had.

She is often accompanied by a bass tune to indicate her mystery and magic. Upon her arrival, she questions Manny about his household and proceeds to lay down the ground rules. Manny reminds her she is only at the interview stage, but Corrina reminds him not to miss out on this opportunity of a lifetime to gain her invaluable assistance. She gets the job and immediately begins preparing spicy foods and attempting to drive a car for the first time when she nonchalantly volunteers to run an errand to the supermarket. Corrina develops a new style of communication with Molly in which the girl taps her nose as a way of saying yes. Soon Molly begins talking and tells her new friend she wishes she could be in heaven with her mother. Corrina tells Molly she should first sample all of the 31 ice cream flavors and demonstrates the excitement of living each day to its fullest potential. Corrina and Manny have a similar affinity for mellow roots music. Manny writes jingles for Mr. Potato Head and Jell-0 commercials, struggling to figure out a word rhyming with "pudding." Con rina is a poet of sorts who cannot get published because of her ethnicity, even though her smooth poetry is "like fine crvstal held ud to a soft light" She tells ^ f -- o Manny the iambic pentameter of his latest jingle is off just a bit, and she helps igs Under Stn eral other musicians such as John Cale and Charlie Pickett. So now it has been established that Tucker is somewhat musically gifted, a good question arises. Why do nine of the 11 songs on "Dogs Under Stress" sound exactly alike? Thafs too predictable. The music is generically bouncy and is somewhat reminiscent of old Velvet Underground days. Tucker herself sings and plays rhythm guitar on a majority of songs, but ifs too bad the songs all sound alike. They all have the same changchang guitar rift to open up and then rely on a monotonous drum rattle to carry the rest of the song. Another problem with the songs is that the lyrics are boring, not that you NATIONAL K HON THANKS F< HARD WORK A Elizabeth Cokley Annie I Michael Cokley Lonell ] Barbara Grant Debra I Ronald Manigault Doroth; Beverly Mitchell Rosa Li Pamela Romeo Eliza G Joann Whetstone Nancy < Stanley Davis Marrial Douglas Glover Helen J Bemice Hasty Gregor Emma Mickens Alberth Dorothy Shiver Louise Jacqueline Shiver Ada Lo Mattie Sumter Sharon Thelma Young Ben Wi Howard Bracey Mary F James Green Toya G Georgia Hallingquest Kennet Brenda Hayward rsrnesui Geraldine Joyner Qwend Clara Moon Evelyn Corine Rivers Chestir National Housek< th Carolina presents: CKFI Homecoming Tep ckets go on sale toe ts you into the opening nlght of udents: $2 with ID available OK Russell House Information Cent .
