...White Boy from Long Island, Rosanna Arquette firmly establishes herself as the reigning queen of the cult classic. Back on the now--familiar streets of Soho after a temporary migration west in Silverado, Arquette puts her character through its requisite paces of schizophrenia with all the felicity of a chameleon. Newcomer Griffin Dunne is the perfect lukewater Romeo to his elusive Juliet, stumbling through the night as King fool losing his keys, cash and prospective girlfriend in the bargain. Peering around with his puppy--dog eyes, Dunne is archetype Lost Boy--eager to find his way home, but predictably curious...
...mediocrity is a tribute to their collective talent and bravura. Brilliantly manipulating a spectrum of emotions from pastoral innocence to manic depression to pulsating sexuality, Streep may very well clinch the third Oscar of her career as the little--lost--activist. Once again, her most appealing characteristic is her chameleon-like control of facial expression. In one of the film's most fleeting but poignant moments (and probably the only one in which Baker's off-the-wall pacing has any effect), Schepisi moves directly from a shot of a glamourous Susan in her artsy Soho 'walk...
...Charley, played by Jack Nicholson in one of his boldest performances, is a faithful lieutenant in one of New York's best and oldest Mafia families, the Prizzis.

From there, the Americanization continues as a Southern bayou replaces a German graveyard. As two dozen Willis enter to initiate Giselle, Albert arrives at the haunting bayou. But before he is lured into his own dance of death, Albert is saved and Giselle's generosity releases her soul from the fate of becoming a Willi. Shellman is a powerful dancer to the last moment, his leaps and turns gaining strength...
...Face in the mirror looks the same./ Every morning I keep looking for a change." Color her chameleon, for Barbra Streisand's persona seems constantly to change, if not every morning, at least with the times. And certainly with the trends. The lyrics are from her new album, Emotion, and to promote it she made her first video, which debuted last week (with Kris Kristofferson, 45, as her unbilled costar) on Entertainment Tonight. Since what's new is neo and what's hot is retro, the 6-min. clip for the song Left in the Dark features...
