Visiting Nun Calls On YouthBy Karen Cascio

Sr. Clare Fitzgerald

On Mon. Sept. 21 , 1987, SisterClare Fitzgerald spoke in iZurnRecital Hall on the subject of theBishops' Economic Pastoral: ANew American Experiment. Fitz-gerald focused on the responsibil-ity of today's youth to produceideas to solve some of today's eco-nomic problems, such as unem-ployment.The Pastoral is a call to societyto look at the economy as it standstoday and see where modifica-tions can be made in the future. Itresponds to the "paradigm shift"or "turning point" taking place in

the world and the church. AH cfsociety's fbelicfs and values areundergoing a necessary change, achange that is required to performthe tasks assigned to our youth.| These changes must take theform of a transformation from anindividualistic society to one thatagrees with our perceptions ofworking for thefcommunity an dthe common good. "We calledupon jthe {businessmen of thiscountry, and they said, 'Experi-ment? Experiment with what*?Our answer was , *Yourve got 'tobecome more creative,and imagi-native for a new economic system.see "Nun" pg. 2

fci Movie Critic Reviews Being A CriticBy Brian Sheridan

This*year marks myfifth ^year as a profes-sional movie critic withthe Erie Times News"Showcase" and it has oc-curred to me t ha t| fewpeople know wh at, goesinto being a movie critic.For the most part, peopleare right -when they say"All you do is go to themovie and then write whatyou think about it." That'strue, but it often involvesa little .more.

All right, it's not brainsurgery but it isn't easysitting through Meatballs3 QT Police Academy 4when you know you couldbe spending. |the time inmore constructive ways. IfI could pick all of the mov-ies I wanted it would be aneasier job, but I can't be-cause I'm not the onlycritic.' Since I have to see thefilms no one else wants tosee - they are usually tur-keys -1 also have to put upwith people saying "Geez,don't you like anything." I

do (I don't evenlgo to thebathroom during a movie, over a big budgeted block-buster that will make

The hardest part is do like many films butbeing original, creativeand interesting in a moviereview. Writing news hasthe, advantage of retellingestablished facts to tell astory. In previewing amovie,*you need to tellyour opinion in a way thathas support and isn't bor-ing to,the reader.; Many a time a scene inthe movie that was,reallygood or really bad willbecome a main point of thereview. Maybe some gossipabout the making of themovie will create a goodlead. Something in my lifethat resembles the moviein one way or anothermight also give me aninteresting starting point.There, is no formula and,while it looks ea sy, just tryto write affresh,|new re-view on a movie like Fri-da y The 13th Part VI if youhave written ?the reviewson II through | V. *Themovie makers just* redidthe same movie over andover and it makes you feellike just xeroxing yourlast Friday The] 13th re-view.Being a movie critichas its drawbacks. Forinstance, you always haveto put up iwith peoplesaying, "Wow, tough job,sitting watching movies."

they are not |usu ally | theones I get to write about.People also are eager tooffer a /,working . qiovie y,critic their view s of a film, yI now just smile and say"Uh, huh" and don't givethem my opinion unless Iagree with theirs. I save alot of [hurt feelings andfights that way.A nice bonus formovie critics is the presskit which :the movie com-panies send out to promotetheir films. For the mostpart, they are nothing butextended advertisementsmaking'; even the Jmostbanal film sound like thenew "Gone With The Wind".It does, however, contain alisting of the cast andbackgrounds on the stars.That saves me the trouble of trying to catch thespell ing of ArnoldSchwarzenegger's name atthe film's beginning. Thatis also where the newspa-per get the photos they runwith the review.S| I prefer to see the filmonce, just like "Joe Aver-age movie-goer". I have abackground in film andknow, I hope, what to lookfor. Mostf movie patronsare there to be entertainedand usually do not watchthe film as intensely as I

fearing I'll miss something money no matter what weimportant). So to see itagain, something a movie-goer usually won't do, is togivelthem more than theycare to know and makesme sound ten 'timessmarter than they. Sound-ingShighbrow isn't an ef-fect I want to achieve. Iwant to entertain with myreview and to "tell it likeit is" (if I may borrow a

Thismight be? a* consumer-ori-ented way of reviewing -Instead of commentinghow artful or significantlike so many pretentiouscritics do - but peoplewant to know - "Am Igping to like this movie ornot?"

J Just whatsis thedifference between aseven |or an eight? Whoknows? At "Showcase" weuse a "one to four" ratio. Itstill is tough to decipher ifa f ilmlis a "two" or "two-and-a-half" star film. Italso allows the reader tojustfglancc at the ratingand decide to seethe filmwithout reading the re-view. I use the scale to ratean overall appraisal of the;film and the review ex-plains if it's worth seeingor not. There? haVe* been 'many "two star" films1 thatI wouldn't recommend

Allan Carpenter's WMCYjMusic NotesBy Allan Carpenter

It is an unfortunate,but^accepted, fact that in1987, there are standardniches for pop music. Inother words, it is not inno-vation that makes hits, buthow well a performer doeswith an. already existingform of music, be it bal-lad, mid-tempo, or rocker.Case in point: 25-year-old vocalist and guitaristJonathanl Butler. Radiolisteners know Butler al-ready by his breezy, hook-laden single, "Lies". -Hisalbum containing that hit,Jonathan Butler , is anextraordinarily slick andwell-done set of formulasongs, which each have"hit" writtcnJbetweenjhelines. Butler has a wonder-ful George Benson vocalstyle and a Larry Carlton-like guitar finesse... the

One toomany George B ensonesqueballads can become verytedious.Beer drinkers - myselfincluded - are familiarwith the L.A. based band,The Long Ryders, throughtheir "Miller's Made TheAmerican Way" televisionads.

But Butler, who hasbeen performing since theage of six in Capetown,South Africa, and who haswritten for Al Jarreau andBilly Ocean, is made tosound unpleasingly de-rivative on? this doublealbum, his second. Theproduction, by BarryEastmond, -, is distinctlymiddle-of-the-roadjsoul. .The songs aren't bad, butthe creation of hitlpoten-tial has deprived the songsof the distinctiveness thatcould m ake Butler a majorstarJ /f HBesides "Lies", cer-tainly the highlight of thealbum, the ballad ."TakeGood Care of Me" is pleas-ant^ and effective.
