Escape into a New World v w F or most CHS students, the boredom of every- day life can be erased by escaping into a good movie. In- deed, some of our favorite heroes and villians come from the mov- ies we see. Who of us hasn’t wished they could be as suave as James Bond, as powerful as the Terminator, or as beautiful as Scarlet O’Hara? Movie stars also set trends in our lives. Look at how the popu- larity of some movies can change our lives, in the way we dress and act. After Top Gun was released, how many guys wanted to be in the Air Force, engaging bogeys over the Pacific? After seeing Dirty Dancing, how many girls wanted to dance with Patrick Swayze on a crowded, smokey dance floor? How many of us wouldn’t like the thrill of defeat- ing that horror show monstros- ity, Freddy Krueger, at his own game? But not only do we enjoy ima- gine being a star, the movies give us a doorway to another world where anything is possible, and any goal can be reached. Not only do movies entertain, they inspire us to be better than we are. If we could achieve the kind of feats we see in the movies, wouldn’t anything be possible? -Brian “The Edge” Palmateer Norman McDunnah and Jason Mont- Heidi Markwart waits in the wings for ney pose for their new movie, “The Deer her encore and bouquet of roses.

At the Movies A darkroom, popcorn, flying Ju Ju Bee’s, and uncomfortable chairs- ...What do you think of when you hear these words? Chances are you think of movie theaters. On Friday and Saturday nights, many teenagers flock to movie theaters where they can sit and drool over star favorites such as Kevin Costner, Tom Cruise, Dennis Quaid, Kelly Le- Brock, Meg Ryan, and Kelly McGillis. This year’s biggest grossing movie, “A Nightmare on Elm Street, Part IV”, had many Ca- pac students screaming in the aisles. It’s common knowledge that Freddy Kruger’s scraping fingernails can make anyone a little squeamish. “Cocktail” and “Big” were the big comedy smashes this year. No one can juggle tequila bottles quite like Tom Cruise. At least no one can look as good doing it. If it’s suspense you like, then “Die Hard” was the movie to see. In “Die Hard”, Bruce Willis showed the movie going public that not only is he a great com- edy actor, but his ability to perform in a serious drama is equally outstanding. In this thriller Bruce also demonstrat- ed his talent of walking on broken glass in his bare feet. This was a great year for mov- ie goers of all ages. Even if the popular films of 1989 didn’t suit your taste, the invention of the VCR has given this world a priceless luxury. Nothing could be better than your living room sofa, a bowl of popcorn, and an old classic on a Saturday night! --Stephanie Peck This year, the cheerleaders gave us Some people will do anything to get to their interpretation of their favorite mov- the movies on time.
