THE GREEN SHEET 15, 1988 HOLLYWOOD HEARTBEAT My Stepmother Is An Alien Will Brighten Your Holiday Season SEEN ON DEPT.: THE SCREEN Tia the season to be jolly and My Stepmother la an Alien should stufT your Christmas stockings with enough ho, ho, ho. By alien I do not refer to someone from south of the border, the Soviet Union or another state, but rather from another galaxy. Starring Dan Akroyd as a scientist who is obsessed with making contact with other other planets (and possibly life he intelligent forms) unknowingly hits the bullseye when, on a stormy night, his experiment goes better than right and he touches base with an advanced life form. This planet, from another galaxy, immediately dispatches an emissary to earth by flying disc (no, not the Kodak disc) and when the doors open out comes the very beautiful Kim Basinger, that very gifted actress who made such an impression in Blind Date. One would think that any group capable of providing intergalactic travel would be able to provide the correct information of the customs etc. of the planet they are on the way to, right? Wrong. That only happens in E.T. From the time Basinger steps on terra firm she has no seriously updated information and has to wing it. Akroyd, whose ability to leap from slapstick to subtle comedy is keen, falls in love with Basinger, not knowing that she isnt from earth and not believing his daughter who tries to tell him. They get married the next day and the fun really gets rolling. She doesnt know about current styles, sex, kissing, money or any of the other things we take for granted and is extremely funny as Joe are some of the Elvis Presley titles that MGM has reduced in price to an affordable $19.95 and Elvis fans should be delighted at that news since the titles are among some of his best.

HOME ON THE SCENE DEPT.: Word has reached me that the State of Utah is in the process of stopping people who rent a limousine and ride in the back from being able to enjoy any alcoholic beverage. This also applies to those who ride the "fun" tour busses to Wendover, Nevada where a lot of the Utahns go to gamble. Now, all we how know dangerous a back seat drive in a limo or on the busses can be. It doesnt matter that they arent driving, but having fun - enjoying yourself can be a very dangerous thing in some places. It all seems like a big waste of money and time to pass such a law and it seems almost criminal that those who choose not to partake in spirits manage to ban gotta give a little folks because the rest of the world doesnt like being dictated to and having that which they are used to taken away. By the by, I dont drink but 111 defend the right of those who do so in moderation. now the Utah Perhaps lawmakers will try to pass a bill telling those folks just what is moderation and what isnt. Nuff together to put a damper on other peoples pleasures. Seems to me that no one offered them a drink. Perhaps it would serve the greater good of those people who support this stupid regulation .would spend their time on a lottery (which might keep some of that money being left in Wendover, Tahoe, the Wyoming race tracks, etc.) with the funds going to upgrading teachers salaries, transportation and many other worthwhile projects. And what makes this no so drinking for passengers ludicrous is the fact that Utah desperately wants to have the Winter Olympic Games which may go to Colorado. Well, ya said!
