FOOTLOOSE," filmed In Utah County last year, this Is a story about a Chicago teenager (Kevin Bacon) who moves with his mother to a small town where the preacher (John Lhhgow) condemns rock music and dancing. At times high spirited ond classy, sometimes too predictable and artificial. While there are many comparisons to be made between this movie and "Floshdance," Footloose" Is the better of the two. Directed by Herbert Ross. Rated PG. Redwood Drlve-ln- , Crossroads, Family Center Trolley, Plaza 5400, Creekslde Plaza. GORKY PARK," this contemplative murder mystery, based on Martin Cruz Smith's novel, stars William Hurt as the Moscow policeman and Lee Marvin as the evil American. Newcomer Joanna Pacula Is the young woman who Is the key to solving the crime. Sometimes slow and talky, but overall a satisfying thriller with an Intriguing performance by Hurt. Rated R. Arcade. HARRY AND SON, Paul Newman stars and directs this movie about a father and son at odds with each other. The drama falls apart at the seams as all sorts of irrelevant subplots detract from the central story. Robby Benson seems stiff and artificial os the son. Newman's performance Is far from his best. Still, you have to admire the movie for attempting to portray a difficult and personal relationship. Rated PG. Trolley North, Tr. ! y Corners, Family Center Trolley, Plaza 5400. "HIGH ROAD TO CHINA, Tom Selleck ond Bess Armstrong star In this variation of "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Selleck and Armstrong have their moments, but this Is basically a retread. Rated PG. Midvalley Cinemas. HOT DOG . . . The Movie," a teenage comedy centered around the World Freestyle Skiing Championships.

NEVER CRY WOLF," a thoughtful, beautifully filmed story about a scientist who ventures Into the Alaskan wilds to study wolves. Director Carroll Ballard ("The Black Stallion") fills the screen with wonder, and Charles Martin Smith ("American Graffiti") gives the performance of his career. One of the best films of 1983. Rated PG. Utah, Midvolley Cinemas, Family Center Trolley. "THE RESCUERS" and "MICKEY'S CAROL," with the exception of the superior Never Cry Wolf," these two are Walt Disney releases, one a obout the only new films for children com CHRISTMAS ing to theaters this winter season.

"THE RIGHT STUFF," Philip Kaufman's adaptation of Tom Wolfe's novel about the birth of America's space program Is at Its best when It tells the story of Chuck Yeoger, the man who first broke the sound barrier. An uplifting, often humorous film about heroic deeds and patriotism. The message here Is that, above all, America's first astronauts were regular guys who suddenly found themselves heroes. Rated PG.

A soap opera, but one with excellent performances. Rated PG. Villa. "TRON," the computer generated Imagery in this film Is stunning, but the story, about a computer whiz who finds himself fighting for his life Inside of a video game. Is a disappointment.
