While “Hannibal” was a ridiculously over-the-top story with over-the-top direction from Ridley Scott, “Red Dragon" is a straightforward thriller with no frills. Other Hannibal films have been directed by such names in the in dustry as Scott, Jonathan Demme and Michael Mann, but “Red Dragon” was directed by little known director Brett Ratner, whose only notable works before this one were Chris Tucker movies such as “Money Talks” and the “Rush Hour” films. Surprisingly enough, Ratner does a commend able job with this film, building tension and terror through classic thriller techniques. The movie also makes certain that, while Hannibal is the star, he only pops up when appropriate. The real emphasis is instead on the Tooth Fairy killer, played by Ralph Fiennes, who is hands-down the best !'erial killer in all the Hannibal movies (besides Hannibal himself, of course). Great writing and even greater acting come together to make the Tooth Fairy, also known as Francis Dolarhyde, one of the most inter esting and sympathetic serial killers in film since Norman Bates. While not as memorable as “Silence of the Lambs,” “Red Dragon” is a vast improvement on “Hannibal” and will be eaten up by fans of the series, who will most likely come for Hopkins as Lecter but stay for Ralph Fiennes as Dolarhyde.

It’s not easy, but you can do this. Add everything up until you know exactly what you have. It’s a great feeling. TAURUS A very attractive person could be a lot more responsive to your suggestion than youihink. You’ll never know unless you ask — soon and often. GEMINI Back to work! Your assignment is to test recently acquired theories against cold, hard reality. Humor helps, so don’t take yourself too seriously. CANCER Others value your opinions more when you present them with facts. Carefully prepare your case. LEO Careful deliberation is suggested, especially when it comes to domestic matters. Don’t rush into doing something you’ll have to live with for years. VIRGO Take time to plan ahead. Working smarter instead of harder is the objective. It’s possible, but not by just following orders. Use your head. LIBRA Make calls and send letters early. Communication channels are apt to get clogged as the day progresses. The money’s more likely to come later — tomorrow or the next day. SCORPIO You’re the epitome of sweetness and compassion. Your gentle manner gives others the feeling they can trust you completely, as well they can. Right? SAGITTARIUS Make sure you know what you’re talking about before you make a scene. Be an effective whistle-blower, not a sacrificial lamb. CAPRICORN You’re certainly not a phony, but it might be wise to just do the job and not say much about it. Save your comments and share them with friends you won’t have to convince. • AQUARIUS Are you prepared to report on your recent activities? You’ve usually done all your homework well in advance. If you haven’t, hurry! PISCES Get things organized at your place so that you can expand your area. Curiosity, and maybe an invitation, soon coaxes you beyond old boundaries.

Making allowances for the fact that this is a college production with many novice actors on stage with seasoned veterans, all ac tors in the cast play their char acters well. The set and lighting designs enhance the production, and the presentation of the storm is the most enjoyable technical part of the production. The di rection is good, the actors are good and the overall experience is enjoyable.
