"OUT OF AFRICA," Great cast, beautiful cinematography and poetic source material make this a wonderful film about writer Isak Dlnesen. Meryl Streep delivers another excellent performance os Karen Bllxen who wrote under the name of Isak Dinesen. Robert Retford plays t lover; Klaus Marla Brandauer Is her husband In an arranged marrloge. Sydney Pollock does a masterful ob of combining oil these elements for an extraordinary film. Rated PG. Family Center Plaza 5400, Crossroads. Trolley, Mann BIG ADVENTURE," Pee Wee Herman makes his motion picture debut.

While all the peripheral signs of life remain all people cars, buildings etc. are gone. Rated R. Utah. "ROCKY IV, Sylvester Stallone relies on the same old formula to get us cheering for Rocky Balboa, and quite frankly Its wearing a little thin. This time Rocky takes on a Russian fighting machine who has been developed to prove the Soviet Union's superiority over the U.S. The movies best moments are the choreogaphed violence In the ring. Its worst moments are when Stollone has more than one sentence to say. Rated PG. Plaza 5400. "RUNAWAY TRAIN," Jon Volght and Eric Roberts play two prisoners who escape from a prison In northern Canada. They hop a train, with a character ployed by Rebecca DeMornay, ond find themselves aboard a runaway train. Directed by Russian film 6. maker Andrei Konchalovsky. Rated R. Cottonwood Ma i, Midvalley Cinemas. "SPIES LIKE US, This corned reunites Djn Ayk'oyd and Chevy Chase, who first worked together on te evlslon's "Saturday Night Live." This Is an SNL skit stretched out to feature film length. Some of the one-lineare fumy; the plot Is oslnlne. Aykroyd ond Chase play two Inept CIA recruits who find themselves In the center of a potential nuclear conflict between the super powers. John Landis directs. Rated PG. Midvalley Cinemas, Flick. "SUMMER RENTAL," John Candy ploys e an controller whose vacation turns into a comedy of errors. Carl Reiner directs this flat film comedy. Rated PG. Valley Twin. "TEEN WOLF, This teen movie was mode before Michael J. Fox hit the big time with "Back to the Future." A so-s- o variation on the werewolf plot. Rated PG. Sandy. "THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL," Geraldine Page takes us Inside the character of Carrie Watts like few actresses do. We come to know her strengths, her weaknesses, her past and her dreams. And we like her for her playfulness. Adapted from a Horton Foote play, this Is a fine drama about an elderly woman who wants to return home, to the rural land where she was raised, and where she in turn raised her children. John Heard, Carlin Glynn, and Rebecca De Mornay round out the fine cost. Rated PG. Regency. TROLL," A girl Is befriended by a magical troll expert at decapitating people. Appears to be a low budget copy of "Gremlins. The cast Includes Shelley Hack, Michael Morlarty and Sonny Bono. Rated PG-1Sandy, Volley Twin. en"TWICE IN A LIFETIME," Middle-ag- e nui sets In on a steel worker who has been married for 30 years. When he goes to the bar for his 50th birthday, he discovers another woman, ond a new life. A thoughtful and perceptive look at the consequences of the break up of a marriage. Gene Hackman, Ellen Burstyn, Amy Madlgan, Ally Sneedy and GERE T A INow Brian Dennehy all give fine performances. Rated R. Crossroads. "WHITE NIGHTS, This film runs the gamut from sublime to ridiculous. As a dance with Mikhail Baryshnikov ond movie It Is exhilarating. As a tale Gregory Hines about espionage and Soviet repression. It Is contrived and predictable. Rated PG-1Carriage Square Trolley, Olympus. "YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES," Owing much more to Steven Spielberg than to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, this film speculates about what would happen hod Holmes and Watson met while schoolboys.' The strong points ore the young cast, the Victorian setting, ond the remarkable special effects that you expect out of a Spielberg production (Barry Levinson directed). The weak point Is that It resembles so many other Spielberg movies that at times It loses Its own Identity. Rated PG-1Sandy, Valley Twin. Retrospectives and Series AVALON, 3605 S.
