Show MB (Nicholson Adds Spark To Funny 'Witches Of Eastwick' by Mark Cartwright Green Sheet Entertainment Critic SEES OS THE SCREEN DEPT' Alexandra Medford, Jane Spof-forand Sukie Ridgemont are three very independant, liberated women who live in the town ol Eastwick which is steeped in tradition and New England values. For these three ladies, it's no place to meet a man whos eligible and able to share a meaningful relationship. Their Thursday nights out become times to complain and wish. The witches of Eastwick, currently at Century 5 and other theaters in town, is an interesting fun film from the start. However, when Jack Nicholson arrives as an eccentric, wealthy and eligible, the film really takes off. He not only appears to be the perfect answer to their dreams, hes determined to bed them all. The women arent sure if he's for real or if they dreamed him up through some special gift they have. Our three women, played by Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeifer learn a lot about themselves and their friend, an appealing little devil. While Sarandon and Pfeifer turn in solid performances, as does Nicholson, Cher has performed better (she received an Academy Award nomination for Mask) and could have done more for her role. In any event, the Witches of Eastwick is entertaining. Looking for an occult thriller that can challenge The Omen and Rosemary's Baby for terror? Then I suggest you see The Believers, starring Martin Sheen, Helen Shaver, Harley Cross and Malick Bowens. When Sheen's wife dies in a scene d guaranteed to upset automatic coffee maker manufacturers), he and his son move to New York where they cross paths with a cult which practices Santeria, a religion with its roots in Nigeria which is usually used for good but can, and is, used for evil purposes. Malick Bowens portrays the leader of the evil cult and. believe me, he was perfectly cast. This guy has a look that can curl your toenails. He wants a human sacrifice and that must be Sheen's son who gets snatched. The Believers is a taut, suspenseful occult film directed by John Schles-inge- r who also directed Midnight Cowboy aim Marathon Man.

Arnie is the head of an elite commando group (so far, so good) sent into the Central American jungle to quell an uprising. Once he gets there with his group, he blows the enemies away and then has to take on (are you really ready for this? ) a creature from outer space. No, Im not kidding, thats the script. Arnie tears up the bad guys, the jungle and-al- l other matter of terrain when he should be tearing up this stupid script and the director. Pass this one by. Its a real disasterpiece theater.
