anew benchmark for “cheesification.”

it sucked ‘ti

DO YOU honestly think, a movie which begins with vio- lence, bloodshed and pure twisted darkness, would grab . you from the beginning to the end? Not so in this case.

The beginning of From Dusk till Dawn led me to believe that it would be an excellent flick. Not exactly. This fiim is a twisted, violent, unre- alistic story, featuring two psychotic brothers who care about nothing but satisfying themselves and making money any way they can. Except, of course, legaily.

i have to admit —— though the . movie made absolutely no sense in the way it jumped from one plot to another — the sickly humorous punch lines kept it somewhat inter- esting.

This pathetic movie was written by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Kurtzman and produced by Gianni Nunnari and Meir Teper. As the movie continues, the storyline gets more and more confusing. There is ho true plot and the acting capabili- ties tend to fail. It looked as if the screenwriters tried to combine two movies into one.

Richard Gecko, played by Quentin Tarantino, is obviously a very troubled man. He is sick, per- verted and anything but stable.

His victims suffered the most when he was unsupervised by his

brother, Seth Gecko, played by George Clooney. Seth, unlike his brother-in-crime, is more reasonabie — he gave the hostages the option to co-operate or perish. Clocney played the part of a professional thief very well and preferred not to kill unless absolutely necessary. He was protec- tive towards his brother in ali cir- cumstances unless he was being childish, which was quite often. Harvey Keitel played the part of Jacob Fuller, a minister who lost his faith and is taking his teenage chil- dren on a road trip, when they are taken hostage by the Gecko brothers. Kate Fuller, played by Juliette Lewis, is the minister's daughter. She was probably the only other actor in the movie who showed any

talent in this film, unlike Ernest Liu,

who played Scott Fuller, her younger

brother.

Lewis" character was portrayed as

a young, naive girl who is taught to believe in God, then thrown into an abyss of immoral vampires.

The special effects and make-up, directed by Diana Dru Botsford, were irapressive, yet I was disap- pointed by the lack of storyline. I felt as if they were using the miake- un and special effects as a substitute for the lack of acting and weak plot.

I wouldn’t recommend this movie to anyone, not even my worst enemy. 1 felt it was degrading, perverted, and showed no class and gave new mean- ing to the word “cheesification.”

So, if you enjoy movies that have no plot, are filled with bad acting and a tasteless storyline. go see From Dusk till Dawn, Otherwise, keep checking the entertainment sec- tion of the paper for something worth spending your money on.
