by Mason and a fine British cast. Edinburgh; Dominion. Glasgow: Grosvenor. O Soviet Folk: Arts. Crafts and Song- singers. A programme of five films looking at Latvian and Kazkah culture. and the application of folk art in modern Russia. 100mins. Life and Lore. Four films examining pastimes and customs at Christmas. and during spring. summer. and autumn. as well as a study of folk architecture in Georgia. The Land Of A Thousand Towers. 1 10mins. Edinburgh: Filmhouse. o The Terminator ( 18) (James Cameron. US. 1984) Arnold Schwarzenegger. Linda Hamilton. 1()7 mins. By 2029 machines have taken over the world and virtually wiped out mankind. A 'I‘erminator. half-man. half-machine. is sentback to 1984 to kill the mother ofa yet-to-be-born son. who will be the saviour to lead the humans to victory. Fast-moving thriller. with a very clever narrative structure building up to a memorable finale. Schwarzenegger is perfect casting. his awesome physical presence coming across well in taut action sequences. A handy line in replacement eyeballs too! Glasgow: GFT. 0 Testament (PG) (Lynn Litt'man. US. 1983) Jane Alexander. William Devane. Roxana Zal. 90mins. Undervalued apocalyptic drama that focuses as much on the nuclear family as on the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust. In the small California town of Hamlin a mother and her three children emerge unharmed from the initial nuclear attack. The loss of loved ones is endured with dignity and memories of the past provide solace from the horrors currently unfolding as radiation sickness and the survival ethic take hold. Jane Alexander‘s performance as the mother brought a well-earned Best Actress Oscar nomination. Glasgow: GFT. o Throne of Blood ( 15) (Akira Kurosawa. Japan. 1957) Toshiro Mifune. Isuzi Yamada. Takashi Shimura. 1()5 mins. Director Kurosawa has recently completed his version of King Lear. entitled Ran. and if it can capture the graphic power and glory of this masterful samurai Macbeth it will be memorable. Glasgow: GET. 0 The Twilight Zone ( 15)(John Landis/Steven Spielberg/Joe Dante/George Miller.US.1983)Dan Aykroyd. Vic Morrow. Scatman Crothers. 101 mins. Uneven tribute to the beloved television series with some distinguished directors well below their best. Spielberg offers a patronising tale of second childhood at an old folks home but best of all is Miller’s tale ofa terrified airline passenger. something with which we can all identify. Ayr; Odeon. o Underthe Volcano ( 15) (John Huston. 1984. US) Albert Finney. Jacqueline Bisset. Anthony Andrews. Katy Jurado. Mexico. 1938. The Day ofthe Dead dawns as a day of reckoning for terminally alcoholic British consul Albert Finney when the disparate
elements of his dissolute life come together with a promise of tragic resolution.
Malcolm Lowry‘s novel was often labelled unfilmable and Huston's version only proves the veracity of that judgement. Bisset and Andrews offer inadequate support but Finney is in towering thespian form coming on like Robert Newton in heat and making the admission price good value. Edinburgh: filmhouse.
O A View 10A Kill (PG) (John Glen. U K. 1985) Roger Moore. Christopher Walken. Grace Jones. 131 mins. Another outing for the time-worn Bond movie storyline. An evil genius wants to rule the world but 007 stops him (Oops! l‘ve spoiled the ending for you now). Roger Moore looks old. Grace Jones disports herself in a familiarly athletic fashion. Christopher Walken wonders how his agent ever got him into this one. Stuntmen take the honours.
Edinburgh: Dominion.
0 Whisky Galore (U)(Alexander Mackendrick.UK.1948)Basil Radford. Joan Greenwood. Gordon Jackson. 82 mins. Classic drplery among the inhabitants ofwartime Barra as a cargo ofwhisky is washed up on an otherwise ‘dry‘ island. Ayr; Odeon.
OWitnessuS) (Peter Weir. 1985. US) Harrison Ford. Kelly McGillis. Alexander Godunov. 112 mins. A young Amish boy is a witness to a murder. The investigation leads a cop into a brush with another culture. a little romance and the expected police corruption. One of the best commercial thrillers of recent years. Atmospheric. impeccably acted and beautifully cor: 'ructed. Edinburgh: Dominion.
