It's also not very funny. Chase plays an air-traffic controller who makes the mistake of tailgating a truck spurting nuclear waste out its, .tailpipe. The gunk gives ,. biml telekinetic powers which he uses, at first, for practical joking (he gives his girlfriend orgasms by remote re-mote control.) But later, like a grown-up Linda Blair, his power goes bananas. But the whole premise takes on a nasty, neurotic edge. For one thing, the movie doesn't pay much attention to the tensions of Chevy's controller job. Instead, In-stead, his hangups stem much more from his para noiac resentment of his girl (Patti D'Arbanville); his ex-wife (Mary Kay Place); the crippled buddy who's got it all together (Brian Doyle-Murray) Doyle-Murray) and the cocky author (Dabney Coleman) who writes Look-Out-for-Number-One books. None of these people is bad enough to deserve the hassles has-sles he gets from Chase. Even Coleman, beneath a thin layer of obnoxiousness, is riddled with insecurities. If any one here deserves a kick in the crotch, it's the smarmy theatrical producer (Mitch Kreindel) who is trying to get in D'Arban-ville's D'Arban-ville's pants. But Chase's vengance seems either cruel (he zaps Kreindel with a massiye.nosebleed ina fancj; restaurant) or misplaced (Chase sabotages the guy's ballet production by making the lead dancer trip over his own feet). The film's one bright spot is Nell Carter, as a black maid who tries voodoo techniques tech-niques to muzzle our hero. But "Modern Problems" otherwise is a shrill take-off on "The Exorcist" that fails to address everyday neurosis neuro-sis or utilize Chase's talents. BrunjesMartin exhibit to begin Sunday Terra-cotta and bronze sculptures by Peter Brunjes and gouache on paper by Duncan Martin will be featured fea-tured in a two-man show opening Jan. 10 in the Kimball Art Center's recently-renovated downstairs gallery. A free, public reception recep-tion honoring the artists will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. The artists will be present. "As a sculptor, I endeavor to depict the realities of life in form, color, texture and gesture. My aim is to portray life in a way which hints of the joys and sorrows in life, the complexity and beauty of being," Brunjes has said. Brunjes, a resident of Salt Lake, has participated in the Collaborated Arts Program through the Salt Lake School District and has served as an Artist in Residence for the Utah Arts Council. His work has been exhibited in group and one-man shows in Boston, Bos-ton, Houston, Newport, Rhode Island, and Park City. Duncan Martin, who lives in Maine six to eight months out of each year, said his primary concern is translating translat-ing the primitive grace of the Maine landscape into paint. "The light and color in Maine is more brilliant and dramatic than the more muted, subtle midwestern landscape. That is reflected in my work," he said. Martin is co-founder of the School Street Studies in Stonington, Maine, a quiet island sanctuary for. working arusts and creative people. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in studio art from Principia College in Illinois, and later spent time painting, drawing and studying study-ing in Europe. Martin placed second in the National Society of Arts and Letters Watercolor Competition Com-petition in St. Louis in 1976. He received the Carolyn Adelaide Johnson Award for Artistic Excellence from Principia College the same year. The Brunjes Martin exhibit exhi-bit will be on display through Feb. 2.
