Star movies to come out
LOS ANGELES — It's comeback time in Hollywood.
Two of the film industry's brightest lights — Robert Redford and Woody Allen — will try to reverse their dimming fortunes as the fall movie season unfolds.
The Associated Press
Redford — coming off 1990's "Havana," probably the biggest disaster of his 30-year career — stars in "Sneakers," a lighthearted thriller about a ragtag group of ethical burglars.
The film, directed by "Field of Dreams" maker Phil Alden Robinson, onens Friday.
Redford also steps behind the camera for the first time since 1988's hou­
direct "The Milago Beanfield War" to direct "A River Runs Through It."
The movie, which features Brad Pitt, makes its premiere Oct. 9.
And then there's Allen's "Husbands and Wives," one of the most anticipated titles.
Originally set to open in a handful of cities Sept. 23, the film about an older man (Allen) and a younger woman (Juliette Lewis of "Cape Fear") will now make its debut nationwide Sept. 18. The question is whether general audiences will tolerate this art-imitates-life comedy.
Thanks to an anemic July, 1992 is lagging behind both 1991 and 1990 in ticket sales, which so far total $3.13 billion vs. $3.32 billion at the same date in 1990. The studios are hoping more adult-oriented fare will resuscitate a generally lackluster year.
Three dozen movies are scheduled for release by Thanksgiving.
"Home Alone 2: Lost in New York"
with Macaulay Culkin and "The Mighty Ducks," with Emilio Estevez coaching a children's hockey team are due in November. Also for young children, there's the animated "Aladdin," due Nov. 25.
Billy Crystal and Tim Robbins make their respective directorial debuts in the comedy "Mr. Saturday Night," Sept. 25, and the political satire "Bob Roberts," which opened Sept. 4.
Spike Lee's "Malcolm X" is set for release Nov. 20, director Francis Ford Coppola is back with "Bram Stoker's Dracula" in November, Kevin Kline and Kevin Spacey swap wives in "Consenting Adults," Oct. 16 and Andy Garcia and Dustin Hoffman decide who's the real brave man in "Hero." Oct. 2 Tom Selleck circles the bases in Japan in "Mr. Baseball," Oct. 3.
Paramount hopes audiences will turn out for "1492" on Oct. 9, the second film this year about Christopher Columbus. Gerard Depardieu and Kevin Dunn star.
In "Night and the City," to open in October, Robert De Niro and Jessica Lange, who teamed in "Cape Fear," star in the remake of the 1950 melodrama.
Several films are adapted from acclaimed books, including "Of Mice and Men," Oct. 2, based on John Steinbeck's classic, "Rich in Love," Oct. 23, from Josephine Humphreys' novel, and "The Lover," Oct. 30, adapted from Marguerite Duras' story.
Among the more compelling releases is "Reservoir Dogs," mid-October, starring Harvey Keitel and Tim Roth in a grisly story of a robbery gone wrong.
"Alive," Nov. 6, tells the true story of canimbalism by a stranded soccer team. And "Jumpin' at the Boneyard," Sept. 18 is a grim account of a drug addict and his family.
Independent releases include director Hal Hartley's "Simple Men," Sept. 25) and Al Pacino and Jack Lennon in David Mamet's "Glenargry Glen Ross," Oct. 2.
Black Crowes let tunes happen
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — The Black Crowes say they are militant about maintaining their personal and musical integrity.
"If you're sensitive to your surroundings, you make conscious decisions to do what you do to make you feel best," the band's quirky frontman, Chris Robinson, said.
"Basically that is the creative process for us — and not having any sort of thoughts that this is a commercial venture," he said, speaking of music. "For us, this is our lives. So why would we take the opinion of a producer, or an engineer or a record-company head over how we feel in order to compromise something that to us is only about money?
"There's people who really use it every day, and whether it's the Black Crowes or whether it's whatever band they dig — that's real. And that's why we write songs. When you sell millions of records, it's even more important."
He is a drastic contrast to his 23-year-old brother, who is equally thin, but pale and almost almondlike.
The rail-thin, 25-year-old Robinson is colorful in his appearance — with his shaggy hair, long sideburns, and bare feet with blue-painted toenails.
"I don't really analyze how I write," he said. "Every time I write a song, I forget about it, I forget how I wrote it. I don't ever write down songs, I rarely record them, and the way I
Guitarist Rich Robinson, who writes the Crowes' music, is equally adamant, though, about letting the music happen to the band rather than the band making the music happen.
see it is if they stick in my head, then they're worth something. If they don't, then they're not.
"No two songs are written the same way. They happen for whatever reason, and I'm not going to try to think about how they happen, 'cause maybe they'll stop. If you start analyzing how it happens, that's when it starts becoming formula, and it turns into more like a product."
Musically, the group's latest album "The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion" is more complex than its predecessor, the multiplatium 1990 album "Shake Your Moneymaker." Piano and organ are used throughout instead of speradically, and percussion comes to the forefront.
"I saw 'Shake Your Moneymaker' as one thing — the first nine songs that my brother and I decided to show people and record," Chris Robinson said. "That was our steppingstone to something else, which was this record, which now has already become a steppingstone to where we're going.
One thing really angers the brothers: the comparisons to bands like the Faces, the Rolling Stones, and Humble Pie that have dogged them.
"Iinstead of having a self-importance about everything you do, I would like to believe that it is going to be more relevant after there's four or five records."
"You don't know what's going to happen in the future—you have to be influenced by what's already begun, in all walks of life," Rich Robinson said. "You have to be trained in the basics. To me, music is the basics, and once you're influenced by a certain thing, then you take it somewhere and that' how you create new things."
