...more cornball program choices and read and talk through rehearsals. Last week, after one of his own works was greeted by surreptitious hisses at a run-through, Williams finally decided that enough was enough. The conductor-composer, whose most recent score was for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, will turn in his Pops baton at the end of the summer concert series. Applicants for the podium may want to bring along Indiana's bullwhip...
...classic American style of moviemaking, unselfconscious and objective: he trusts the tale, not the teller. And he trusts his actors as well. As Geoffrey, Albert Finney staggers toward his doom on feet unsteadied not so much by booze as by the weight of the cross he bears, a compound of tormented memory and suffering intelligence. There is in his presence a nobility that elicits compassion along with admiration for the actor's work. Jacqueine Bisset and Anthony Andrews tread similarly delicate lines as Yvonne and Hugh, trying to cling to their dreams despite the rude, awakening noises of Geoffrey...
...summer: that blithe season when the latest Steven Spielberg movies are in full bloom at the nation's theaters. Fantasy, fun and lighthearted adventure for all, right?

The new film sold $45.7 million worth of tickets during its first week in theaters, compared with $45.3 million for the previous record holder, Lucas' 1983 Star Wars sequel, Return of the Jedi. Indiana Jones beat the single-day record as well...
...parade of celluloid soldiers begins marshaling just before Memorial Day and swells to battalion proportions by the Fourth of July. Their mission: to storm the U.S. box office. Leading this year's assault is that renowned soldier of fortune Indiana Jones; he and his hyperthyroid sequel, Temple of Doom, mounted an early attack on 1,685 movie theaters last week, and in the first two days managed to push up the beach and top the opening of Raiders of the Lost Ark. He is followed by the crew of the starship Enterprise (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock...
