...into a baby at the end and nobody had leukemia. At last! an honest to god movie, instead of a film. Now you could have a war movie which wasn't anti-war (the Deer Hunter), a movie which wasn't anti-military (Stripes) and Raiders of the Lost Ark which wasn't anti-anything. And with the trend of fantasy-fullfillment movies usurping ticket sales, it was only so long until someone came along and glorified Wealth. That's where (at last) Arthur comes...
...more about themselves and each other while on the run, so the young Disney artists making their feature-film debut here realize the emotive and kinetic power of animation in the chase sequences. They are as finely shaped and paced as the desert drive in Raiders of the Lost Ark-and almost as violent. More important, they suggest a dimension of conflict within as well as between the antagonists. Will Tod escape not only the surly Chief but his old friend, now a deadly nemesis? Will Tod defend Slade, who has sworn to kill him, against the attack...
...come two more. Space-Invaders wrist, described by Medical Student Timothy McCowan of Little Rock, Ark., is a painful stiffness resulting from "repeated prolonged playing" of the popular Atari video game. According to McCowan, himself a sufferer, rapid repetitive arm movement with much abrupt bending and twisting of the wrist and forearm are required to maneuver the spaceship.

Investigation revealed that their discomfort followed a weekend of gambling...
This is the age of the machine-made movie. Hollywood, once called the dream factory, is now in the recycling business. George Lucas compresses old movie serials into Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Brian De Palma and a dozen other directors pay homage to (read: steal shamelessly from) the films of Alfred Hitchcock. Albert R. Broccoli is the same but different: Since Dr. No, the producer's first James Bond movie, in 1962, he has remade his own picture eleven times. To evaluate For Your Eyes Only and the other Bond movies, it helps to think...
...sounds today. A dumb hero on the order of Sylvester Stallone just won't flv, for all intents and purposes. There's a thin line between innocence and sophistication, and it is there that Raiders manages to remain balanced. The movie is ostensibly about the search for the lost Ark of the Covenant, a mystical vessel rumored to hold the remains of the tablets of Moses and possessing an awesome power. The year is 1936, and the U.S. government has learned that Hitler, a fanatic about the occult, has a team of storm troopers led by the opportunistic French archeologist...
