...House has some sick, sexist jokes, no plot to speak of, and a largely unknown cast. But despite (or perhaps because of) these obstacles, it succeeds in a big way. To talk more about it would only serve to ruin some scenes for the prospective viewer, and they are worth seeing. But when you do go to see Animal House, and you should, just think for a minute where some of your hard-earned $3.75 is going. Isn't it reassuring to know that it's going right into the corporate pockets of some nice Harvard boys who found...
...Register of regulations (this year's version has already grown to a mountainous 32,000 pages) can put a small-town manufacturer out of business or rejuvenate an industry that was on the brink of bankruptcy. The lobbyist who gets the clause removed, or puts it in, can be worth his salary for 100 lifetimes. The very magnitude of federal spending?about $565 billion this year?reflects the stakes involved as competing groups try to get what they consider their fair share, or more...

A big time, capitalist-industrialist type is mysteriously murdered and director Claude Lelouch has cleverly thrown enough clinkers into the mystery, including some good leftist twists about the rich and the poor, to make it worth your money...
...Schubert Theater (where it will boogie until September 3). Again, this was one hell of a show four or five years ago. And you'll still have to pay grotesque prices to see this admittedly enjoyable production of The Wizard of Oz gone funky. Is it worth a $9 minimum? We think not. And if Boston's theatrical renaissance keeps going at the present rate, we'll be seeing Tobacco Road, Abie's Irish Rose, and Life With Father real soon. Can't wait...
