Liz Whenhugebest-sellers are made into movies, the anticipation is great. I was incredibly looking forward to the release of The Hunt for Red October, merely because [ heard that it came from a wonderful book. Sometimes, great books do not necessarily make great movies, yet this one succeeds brilliantly. John McTieman (Die Hard ) directs this adaption of Tom Clancy's novel. The production is truly magnificent. The setting is, for the most part, underwater, and the cinematography beautiful. (This succeeds so well in showing us how majestic the sea is, unlike The Abyss, which failed so miserably.) We are physically drawn into this claustrophobic world of submarines, and then drawn into the lives of the characters, therefore succeeding both on the levels of suspenseful, edge-of-your-seat action and in the classic structure of the Russians vs. Americans story. And even then, it is not just another cold war thriller. This film is conventional enough to fulfill what audiences have come to expect from a movie, yet it is also unlike anything /' ve ever seen before. The script is intricate and sometimes confusing, for it deals with the very technical aspects of submarines. Yet the film would not be so real if it didn't deal with these things, and it is this realism which makes it so frightening and also what affects us so deeply. Larry Ferguson and Tom Stewart adapted the screenplay, and they deserve credit for not getting lost in all of the facts and figures, and sustaining an emotional intensity, (The traditional Russian folk music is also very powerful.) I agree with Russ on the perfect casting in this film. Sean Connery is so believable and sympathetic as the Commander, and I am especially excited about Alec Baldwin finally being cast in a leading role which suits his potential. When stepping back from the movie, I see that it does rather one-sidedly say "America's number one!", but Margaret Gibson, Trinity College's Poet-m- Photo by Jim Holzworth what's reaJJy wrong with that once in a while?

It's March 6 and the NBA season is roughly three-fourths complete. It is the perfect time to make playoff forecasts. The word forecasts is boldly used rather than predictions, because this is not what anyone thinks will happen, this is what will happen. In the Eastern Conference, Detroit will finish with the best record and, as the first seed, will humble the eighth seed, Atlanta, in the first round. Philadelphia will beat out New York for the Atlantic Division title and the second seed. They will knock off Milwaukee and meet Chicago in the second round. The men in red and black will earn that right by downing fiesty Indiana. The Knicks, who will suffer major problems down the stretch, will be upset by the Beantown Green. The second round will feature two very intriguing matchups. The champions of the past will bow to the defending champions when Detroit outlasts Boston. The other conference semi-final willpitthePhiladelphiaBarkleysagainstthe Chicago Jordans. Jordans supporting cast will prove hungrier and not only beat the Sixers, but also upset the Pistons in a rematch of last year's Eastern Conference final. Once again, Trinity sticks it to the Golden Bears.
