Elmo’ s Fire

heat’s up memories

From Page 49
set the maverick of the group
apart. He celebrates grad night
by smashing up his girlfriend’s
car

As wild and irresponsible as
Billy is, his girlfriend (Mare
Winningham) i is reliable, car-
ing and usually sensible. While
blind to Billy’s nature, she is
dedicated to her job as a social
worker,

The rest of the crew is pure
yuppie. Kirbo (Emilio Estevez)
is a part-time waiter in St.
Elmo’s bar (the local hot spot
for all the gang) and plans to
be a lawyer, But Kirbo ends up
floundering around on the
shoals of love over an older
woman, who could be at least

2A:

When this movie is at its
best, the camera is often
pointed at youthful ex-
periences like Kirbo’s unre-
quited love. Kirbo is consum-
ed with passion over a girl he
hardly knows and considers it
a matter of life or death that
he possess her, body and soul,

Kirbo’s buddy Kevin (An-
drew Dolenz) has his own pro-
blems with love. Kevin is the
aspiring journalist writing
obits for a Washington paper.
Kevin has a jaded, cynical ap-
proach to love. His favorite
line is ‘love sucks’’, but he is
secretly infatuated with a good
friend’s lover.

To balance out the macho,
wildman image of musician

: Billy, we are introduced to

Jules (Demi Moore). She is the
1980's woman on the run,
Headstrong, strungout on
coke, this vivacious Jady is
soaking up the good life in the
fast lane.

No group would be com-
plete without a live-in pair of
lovers. Alec (Judd Nelson)
loves Leslie (Ally Sheddy) but
also loves politics and sex on
the side. Leslie wants her own
career in architecture before
settling down and won’t marry
Alec.

For those over 30, there is
The Big Chill. For those under
30, there is St. Elmo's Fire to
heat up those college
memories,

St. Elmo’s Fire is now play-
ing at the Royal Centre.

Tower cruise takes about 25
minutes, one way and costs

proximately 55 minutes one

£1.20 for kids, return fare.

Guided Walks: Your best
bet is to buy a copy of the
weekly magazine ‘What's
On in London” for a current
schedule of these informative
tours. They leave from

various locations all over |

London and concentrate on
different themes such as
“Ghosts and Horror Stories”
which takes you to the sites
of famous murders and
hauntings, ‘‘London Pubs’’
— all sorts of the most in-
teresting ones or ‘‘Historical
Walks‘? — concentrating on
certain eras in history.

Each one is interesting and
there is a targe choice of
times and itineraries. Prepare
to walk 4-5 miles but at a very
leisurely pace with lots of
stops.

Theatres: Far too many for
me to list, ‘‘What’s On’’ is
your best bet for times and
locations. It’s impossible to
get tickets for some of the
more popular shows such as
“Cats’’ without booking
months in advance OR buy-
ing a packaged theatre tour
OR by getting to the theatre
early and hoping for a
cancellation, With longer
running plays such as ‘The
Mousetrap”’ there is no pro-

blem and you can get tickets-

either through your hotel or
they’li direct you to the
nearest booking office.

I know I've left out hun-
dreds of other London at-
tractions but I’ve just given
you my entire itinerary for
my upcoming visit to Lon-

don. You see, I’m taking my
middle daughter on a first
visit and I’ve got to draw the
line somewhere. If we can fit
even this much into five days
we'll do well!
