movie review "Sharkey's Machine' drips with quality Sharky's Machine Burt Reynold* Cinlmmorad Now and then a filmmaker produces a show that just drips with brilliance "Sharkey's Machine" is such a show The story revolves around Reynolds, a big-time narcotics agent on the Atlanta police department who gets busted to vice squad after a bungled bust Reynolds, who directed this epic mas terpiece, spared no expense and used Kodak ECN 7254 36mm filmstock for all the shooting in low light conditions as well as outdoor scenes This filmstock also shows its stuff dur ing the many gunshot scenes in the film. In one, where a woman is shot in the face with a sawed-off shotgun at point-blank range, the blood, etc., that spatters walls and carpets is startlingly vivid, while the reds are not too saturated, giving a nice, realistic color rendition. This particular scene also showcases the sound engineering of the film The report of the rifle is excellent, with lots of low bass (60 kiloherz), making the gun sound even more powerful than it really is. Later, when Reynolds and his friends walk around the murder scene, their shoes make squishy squeaky sounds in the clotting blood in the carpet. It’s the next best thing to being there. Then there’s the cinematography of “Sharky's MachinePowerful images abound, from hunks of people's backs flying toward the audience (point-blank J in the chest) to the standard body crashing through a plate glass window and falling hundreds of feet to the busy street below. The lighting, with just the right hint of film noir, gives these mas terful shots an air of understated elegance, of restrained power. With flawless editing, excellent cin ematography, superb sound and color rendition and wonderful scenery, "Sharky’s Machine” is a finely-crafted masterpiece that shouldn't be missed, by mutt myear ‘Golden Pond’ morally bankrupt "On Golden Pond” Henry Fonda Katharine Hepburn Cinlmmorakf Add Katharine Hepburn and good old Henry Fonda to your list of family-wrecking, moral crumbling leftist no-goodniks "On Golden Pond." perpetrated to be a nice, heartwarming little family film, is nothing less than two hours' worth of pure propaganda for those elements that would ruin everything good and wholesome in our great land Katharine Hepburn is Fonda's wife, an old woman who doesn't know her place She stoops so low as to encourage skinny dipping (at her age!) and other morally bankrupt acts of in decency Then there's Jane Fonda, that left-wing radical, making things worse than some pure porno scenes of her bouncing around in a skimpy bikini I was shocked to see a number of children in the audience who were exposed to this filth by their progressive parents The storyline of the film is that Henry is getting old and crot chety, and he and daughter jf Not an Emerald photo Golden Pond, the subject of the Oscar award-winning screenplay written by Henry David Thoreau. "Golden Pond" stars Henry Fondue and Katharine Heartburn walked away with the best actor and actress award. Police are still searching for the missing pair. Jane can't seem to get their relationship together Then Jane comes along with her partner-in-sin Dabney Coleman and his son Jane and Dabney, like typical radical permissive types, decide to frolick across Europe, leaving the kid with the elder Fonda and Hepburn The kid, morally starved by his irresponsible folks, talks dirty and doesn't give the proper re spect to Fonda or Hepburn. But instead of taking him out behind the shed, Fonda and Hepburn encourage his foul talk and dis obedience With this type of ex ample to learn from, is it any wonder that our society's mor als have crumbled to their pre sent state ? No wonder our country's youth are revolting No wonder they're all shooting up mar ijuana No wonder they don't respect our President. The Reds have gotten a solid foothold in Hollywood, and are using it to split up families and weaken our morals through slickly produced propaganda like "On Golden Pond.” The only good thing about this show was that it didn't talk about homosexuality by mutt myear APRIL 1 Paul Hohum APRIL 7 FILM "Abbot and Costello Join The Circus" Monday and Tuesday. 0 30 -4 p m in McArthur Court Residents $413, non-re sidents $1256 FRI "Bonzo Meets Godzilla" at 7 and 9:30 p m in 150 Geology $1 50 SAT "A Thousand Clowns" at 7 and 9:15 p.m at the Oregon State Legislature.
