Five school buddies in Baltimore still cling to teenage rituals of late-night gab sessions in the diner, while they move uneasily into in-to marriages and jobs. The focus is on Eddie (Steve Gut-tenberg) Gut-tenberg) a devout Baltimore Colts fan who plans to give his fiance a football quiz. If she fails it, the marriage is off. Certainly chauvinistic, yes, but not unlikable. Eddie deserves credit for trying to find some basis of communication com-munication with his future bride. These guys cannot relate to women, aside from the old adolescent game of going after them for sex. They only find comfort in each other's quirks and little departments of genuis. Shreevie, (Deniel Stern) for instance, has an encyclopedic en-cyclopedic knowledge of music, and it grates him that his confused, tag-along wife (Ellen Barkin) is indifferent. She just likes the music. Boogie (Mickey Rourke) is a make-out king with a penchant pen-chant for gambling that leaves him badly scorched. Fenwich (Kevin Bacon) is the most omnipresent brain (he has all the answers watching watch-ing "G.E. College Bowl") but is also the most erratic. Even the relatively normal Billy (Timothy Daly) proves to be quirky when he punches an apparent stranger in the street. The guy is part of a baseball team that beat him up in high school, and he's been getting revenge on them, one by one, ever since. The denizens of the diner are five of this year's most memorable characters, and Trivia Test 'J. iXi.it t-'A :. v ' Pat Korogi Korogisknow best Dr. Pat Korogi decided once again to keep things in the family. : She carried on the tradition set by husband Steve as she correctly answered last week's trivia stumpers. Pat knew that Herschel Ber-nardi Ber-nardi was the voice for Charlie the Tuna and the Jolly Green Giant; that HAL the computer sang "Daisy, Daisy" in his death throes; and that BMX stood for bicycle motor cross. One of these days we've got to ask Dr. Pat if it's healthy to live on a diet of free sandwiches from the Main Street Deli. As for you, the way to a free meal lies in the questions below. To win call The Newspaper at 649-9014 or come to our offices of-fices at 419 Main St. with the answers by Tuesday noon. The queries are: 1. Comic-book aficionados know artist Carl Barks for his work drawing what famous animal character? 2. What famous singers supplied the themes for (a) "Goldfinger", (b) "Thunderball", and (c) "The Spy Who Loved Me"? 3. What is Commander Cody's other name?

Raiders of the Lost Ark A masterful escapist adventurefilled ad-venturefilled with spiders, pits of death, savage headhunters, sadistic, cackling cack-ling Nazis, raging fires, cave-ins, curses, gargoyles, 10-story cliffs, and more snakes than you've ever seen in your life. (And wouldn't you know snakes are the one phobia that afflicts the otherwise - fearless archaeologist archae-ologist hero, Indiana Jones.) George Lucas' story, set in 1936, throws Jones (Harrison Ford) into a race with the Nazis and an unscrupulous French explorer, Bellocq (Paul Freeman), to find the Lost Ark of the Covenant the container where Moses was said to have kept the original Ten Commandments. Armed with his trusty whip, which has more uses than Batman's Bat-man's utility belt, he plans to foil Hitler's plans, 'how? "I don't know," he confesses. "I'm making this up as I go." Lucas, director Steven Spielberg, and co-writer Laurence Kasden have brilliantly revived the old movie serials, but have not been just content to copy their throttled-down action on a massive scale. They've told their story well, by fleshing it out with moments of romance, humor, and glimpses of melodramatic beauty the Egyptian sun, or a snake slithering through the heroine's discarded evening slipper. "Raiders," more than most fun movies, is brilliantly alive to the possbilities of its form. Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan When Mr. Spock tells Captain Cap-tain James T. Kirk, "I am now, and always will be, yours", the little lump in your throat is more important impor-tant than the occasional thin characterizations, improbable im-probable plot, and the enticing en-ticing groundwork laid for another sequel. You don't have to be a Trekkie to feel it either. Admiral Kirk (William Shatner) is now an admiral, needs glasses to read, and feels age creeping upon him, since he and Captain Spock (Leonard Nimoy) are mostly assigned these days to training new cadets. But a teaching mission on the Enterprise En-terprise turns to active duty as Kirk confronts Khan. (Ricardo Montalban) who was exiled to a barren planet during the TV series. The once-noble tyrant has turned mad since Star Fleet ignored the hardships which killed Khan's wife and many others in his settlement. Now he plots to destroy Kirk by hijacking another starship (helmed by a milquetoasty Paul Winfield) and threatening Kirk's estranged wife (Bibi Besch). The performances are fun, but TV-sized. Mon-talban's Mon-talban's fiery villain, oddly enough, ends up with lots of egg on his face. Kirk constantly con-stantly slips out of his traps, leaving him dumbfounded like a "Batman" villain. There is a surprising amount of wit, and a back-in-the-saddle familiarity be-twee be-twee the characters. Director Direc-tor Nicholas Meyer provides thrills, and the script by Harve Bennett and Jack Sowards offers twists, tears, and one gruesome little space creature it crawls in through the ear and nests in the brain. As for the controversial con-troversial climax where Mr. Spock faces death, let's just say that it is heart-breaking, but sequel-wise, "Star Trek" boldly goes where "Empire Strikes Back" has been before. Courses at KAC The University of Utah's Division of Continuing Education and the Kimball Art Center in Park City will join forces this fall to bring higher education to Park City and surrounding areas. It is hoped that interest in the program will generate enough students to support between 20 and 40 courses over the next year. These courses will span all subject areas from fine arts and humanities to social science and science. All courses will be taught by University of Utah-approved faculty members. Courses to be taught this fall include Expository Writing, Introduction to Shakespeare, Introduction to Psychology, Art History, pre-College Algebra and Spanish. Registration may be done through the Kimball Kim-ball Art Center or through the University of Utah's Division of Continuing Education. For information contact the Kimball Art Center at 649-8882. Art auction approaches The Kimball Art Guild Auction, traditionally the largest guild function of the year, will return to the Kimball Kim-ball Art Center's main gallery Friday, July 30. World-renowned auctioneer Don Kennedy will return to conduct the festivities. The evening's events include in-clude a silent auction, scheduled to begin at 6 p.m., with dinner provided by Deer Valley shortly thereaf ter. The live auction will culminate the evening. As in past years, a number of Art Festival artists will have work in the auction. Other artists not in the festival have also donated art work. Since many of the items are being donated by artists, very few of the pieces will have minimum bids, Thus, a person attending attend-ing the auction could receive art work at bargain prices. In addition to the art work, a number of non-art items will be auctioned. These items include such things as a hot air balloon ride, a full season Park City ski pass and meals at local restaurants. Cost for the event is $25 per person. Since seating is limited, reservations should be made and paid for well in advance. Call 649-8882 for further information. i J ' ('-. "WW by Hick Lanman Choosing jug wine Rick Lanman is on vacation. This column, one of his favorites, first appeared in The Newspaper about a year ago. The fourth edition of "California Wine List" bills itself as a consumer guide to jug wine. Past editions of this small book have concentrated on specific varietals such as Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardon-nay. Chardon-nay. Recognizing the wide acceptance of wine, the authors have ventured firmly into new territory, applying the basic principals of consumerism to an area often neglected, that of bulk wines. Jug or bulk wines compose a diverse group. Frequently carrying generic names like "Chablis" or "Mountain Burgundy," these wines encompass a dozen or so varietal strains. California alone produces well over 300 different bulk wines, and if one considers the regional European wines, the figure staggers the imagination. To use the vernacular, jug wines are where the action is. Americans are buying half gallons or the slightly smaller 1.5 liter bottles as fast as production will allow. Discriminating between the myriad of choices has been a confusing chore, often dictated by availability or the impact of media advertising. "California Wine List, a Consumer's Guide to 161 Jug Wines," is a welcome addition to the wine scene, for it eliminates a great deal of guesswork as you attempt to pick out a nice, easygoing table wine. The book, retailing for $4.95, is published by the Cheshire Booksellers, Ltd. of Los Angeles. Should your local bookstore not carry a copy, you may order by mail. The book itself has several order forms bound right in and even makes provisions for gift orders. Simply send a check or money order to John S. Haskell, Publisher, California Wine List, 3625 West Sixth Street, Los Angeles, California 90020. Their other publications on Zinfandel and Chardonnay are available from the same address for $3.95 each, and a volume on Cabernet Sauvignon will be released this August for $4.59. The wines for the jug wine edition were all purchased in May of 1980, just over one year ago. They were bought anonymously from a variety of retail establishments and tasted by a selected panel at two different sittings. The blind tasting panel was composed of a prominent wine wholsaler, a professional winemaker, a wine writer and two very knowledgeable consumers. This group tasted all 161 wines and eventually pronounced ,12 reds and 11 whites as winners. These wines were tasted several weeks later by two much larger groups, one in Los Angeles and the other inSan Francisco. All the tastings were "double blind," indicating that neither the taster nor the server knew which wine was which. An interesting result of this process was that several small "boutique" style wines ranked low, while some large producers faired well. The wines were ranked for appearance, taste, bouquet and overall quality. A numerical point system was established to aid in ranking, and additionally, one or two stars appear by some selections indicating a very good buy or a good buy and exceptionally high quality. The book is actually broken down into two sections, the first listing all the wines alphabetically and the second in order of overall quality. In both sections the wines are first grouped by color (rose wine is not included in the book). The initial listing includes a comprehensive description of the wine with respect to color, bouquet and the other items mentioned in the rating scale we outlined. Price is given along with a complete listing of the various grapes used. The highest score available by category was "excellent," and five whites were selected for that designation. While many of you may not recognize the first three names Le Fleuron, Trefethen and Buena Vista, the other two, Concannon and Robert Mondavi, are probably quite familiar. OUt of a possible 20 points, these wines scored 12.40 to 12.85. The Mondavi received two stars for high quality and reasonable price. It is marketed under simply Robert Mondavi, White Table Wine. Most of the white wines contained one to three grape varieties, and Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and French Colombard were most frequently mentioned. The red wines typically contained Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Merlot or Cabernet. Six red wines were chosen by the panels for the excellent category, some of which may be familiar to readers of this column. Monterey Vneyard's Classic California Red topped the list with a 12.60 rating. Following close behind were Beaulieu. Stag's Leap Vineyard, Almaden, Conn Creek and, one again, Trefethen. Perusing all 161 wines does persent some surprises and a good number of unexpected values. For the general wine drinker, this handy volume serves its purpose; you can save money and drink reasonably good wine at the same tim At such a modest price, you probably (' 1 afford not to buy it! |
