Red Dawn -- teenage fantasyland; an absurd premise with predictable consequences; and cardboard cutout characters. Yea for the home team. One star. Purple Rain -- Prince postures, sings, and pouts, but forgets to act. This is just an extended video; and not a good one at that. One star. Last Starfighter -- Fluff, but entertaining fluff. Preston almost steals the show; SFX are tasty. Characters you care about. Three stars. -- ---Rsk UUCP: { decvax, icalqa, ihnp4, inuxc, sequent, uiucdcs } !pur-ee!rsk { decwrl, hplabs, icase, psuvax1, siemens, ucbvax } !purdue!rsk I like to drink and dance all night, Comes to a fix, not afraid to fight, You got that, right?
