...Kinks: Word of Mouth (Arista). At last, a good robust antiexercise song. In typically contrary Kinks fashion, however, Too Hot, with its sardonic image of an entire generation beefing, toning and shaping up, has a get-moving melody that is probably perfect for a workout. Head Kink Ray Davies knows how to write songs that cut several ways, including into his own heart. Missing Persons is a lovely piece of brooding melancholy that seems, almost nakedly, to be about the dissolution of his relationship with Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders. The Kinks are still one of the most fearless, feckless...
...petroleum users will benefit most from the falling prices. Consumers, too, will feel an impact. The average price of gasoline in the U.S. has dropped to $1.18 per gal. from $1.25 a year ago, and is likely to fall further. The surge in supply, though, could put a sharp kink in the profits of U.S. oil companies. Last week Frank Kneuttel, of the Gintel energy-research group, warned clients away from energy stocks. Said he: "The price is like a snowball coming downhill without a mogul to stop it." Falling prices will also hurt Mexico, Venezuela and other countries that...
Cocaine is no longer just a curious upper-class kink. During the past two years or so, the number of Americans who have used the drug climbed from 15 million to 20 million and is rising still: every day some 5,000 neophytes sniff a line of coke for the first time. They cannot be written off as crazy kids: Government studies find that those in their late 20s and 30s constitute the fastest-growing proportion of users and, as of 1982, a majority of people who had tried cocaine were over 26. Nor does it seem that cocaine...
...days when Wolfman Meets Frankenstein passed for a cheap thrill. Now the pressures of High Kink can cause such a strain, for example The Hunger, due out in April. In a decidedly against-type bit of casting, Catherine Deneuve, 39, plays a 3,000-year-old bisexual vampire involved in a threesome with Susan Sarandon, 36, and David Bowie, 36. With hot designs on toothsome Susan, Deneuve commits the classic faux pas of asking about a blood transfusion. "Not the greatest move on a first date," observes Sarandon. Indeed, but such is the foam that washes ashore in this...
While the characters are shallow, everything else reeks of over-kill. The sex scenes are unnecessarily explicit, and Schrader revels in giving us the gamut on perversion from bestiality and incest to kink and sado-masochism. Schrader also isn't much interested in generating suspense. When Irena suddenly wanders through a surreal Cajun bayou, the audience is too confused to be worried. Occasionally Schrader resorts to the cheap device of startling the viewer--something appears suddenly or moves when it shouldn't. All in all, Cat People is as imaginative as coitus interruptus--and about as subtle...
