...songs Lennon wrote later on his own-Imagine and Whatever Gets You Thru the Night, Instant Karma and Give Peace a Chance and the gentle and unapologetic Watching the Wheels from the new album, or the gorgeous seasonal anthem, Happy Xmas (War Is Over), which he recorded with Ono in 1972-kept the standard high and his conscience fine-tuned. The political songs were all personal, the intimate songs all singular in their fierce insistence on making public all issues of the heart, on working some common moral out of private pain. Rock music is still benefitting from lessons that...
...high points are a whip fight staged on a wildly tilting platform and a concluding conflict that features an attack by the Hawkmen, hearty barbarians who flap about on giant wings. Max Von Sydow has a good time as Ming, and Ornella Muti, as his daughter, is simply gorgeous. All in all, Flash Gordon is as good an approximation of the hard-edged, gaudy comic-book style as one is likely...
...most threatened area in the Mountain West may be Colorado's gorgeous and still half-empty Western Slope. It is estimated that if Exxon does build 150 oil-shale plants there, the population in Rio Blanco and Garfield counties could shoot from 75,000 to 1.5 million. Colorado Senator Gary Hart has figured that the Exxon project alone would require enough new schools, hospitals and roads each year to accommodate a city the size of Grand Junction (pop. 54,000), now the largest city in western Colorado. Water would have to be imported from...
...platform mostly serves as the stable where 17-year-old Alan Strang blinded six horses and as the claustrophobic office of Dr. Martin Dysart, the psychiatrist who must "cure" Alan. The performers move in a seemingly eternal sunset--the muted orange glow of Dan Scherlis' and Alexis Layton's gorgeous lighting design--dissolving only when we venture into Alan's tortured memory, where he relives his psychotic pains and pleasures in an evilly beautiful indigo haze...
...thinnest of plots -- a man's journey back through time to find a woman he once loved, in another life, in 1912 -- and the most threadbare characterizations, Somewhere in Time is nevertheless sweetly romantic, a lovely, pleasant but unchallenging diversion. These virtues are almost solely attributable to the two gorgeous stars; when their faces are in closeup (especially for one slow erotic kiss) it doesn't matter so much that the movie makes little sense. Reeve and Seymour's faces make a lot of sense. Reeve, the once and future Superman, is blessed with a handsome, intelligent face...
