I didn't do it alone, though. My friend Ben has helped me to grow and be comfortable with who I am. Last night, I found out that he is HIV +. I never thought that I would know someone who was pos- itive. I never imagined that it would hit so close to home. I will be walking this year for the first time. I am doing it for the strength and courage that Ben has shown me in his daily living. I am doing it for all the people that has been touched by this disease. I am doing it for myself". — Thom PLAY SAFE? "I've participated in six American AIDS Rides, and raised thousands for their beneficiaries. This will be my second Walk.

"As an ordained clergy person of a mainline Protestant denomination I have heard God calling all people - Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered, Straight -to fight the disease. For too long many "Christian" churches have proclaimed AIDS as God's punishment on particu- lar lifestyles; or churches have remained silent. We can no longer remain silent as AIDS claims our lovers, sons and daughters, friends, sisters and brothers, grandchildren, and babies. i must, we must, walk to tell the world that God walks too!" — Scott The New Beetle.

He finally ".A MUST SEE!" acquires support from Jerry Renfro (Robert Downey Jr.), a big shot producer, but there's a catch. -HOUSTON VOICE Bowfinger has to land action mega-star Kit Ramsey (Eddie Murphy) as his lead. Needless to say, Ramsey gives an emphatic "NO!" to doing a movie called Chubby Rain. This is Bowfinger's moment to show his creativity. Hilariously, he begins filming Ramsey anyway with a hidden camera and getting the other actors to walk up to him and speak their lines, causing Ramsey to think aliens are out to get him! When he disappears, a desperate Bowfinger must hire a lookalike ST replacement. Enter Murphy again as nerdy Jiff. Bowfinger builds comic momentum as it unfolds under the careful direction of (Frank Oz) (Little Shop of Horrors, In and Out). Steve Martin's script isn't just funny, it shows a genuine affection for movies and the filmmaking process. There's also Eddie Murphy, who gives his best performance since The Nutty • Professor. Both of his characters, the volatile Kit and shy Jiff, are uniquely brilliant interpretations, each • getting his share of laughs. Oz, Martin and Murphy can be credited for supplying a very amusing film. Powered by a hilarious, high-octane performance by Eddie Murphy and a witty, boisterous script by his co-star, Steve Martin, Bowfinger offers 90-odd minutes of solid entertainment. The last half-hour or so alone is worth the price of admission. It's a comic oasis in the midst of a mid-August desert of movie ► mediocrity and contains some of the biggest laughs of the year. 3 1/2 Stars Better than Chocolate Review by John Jahn Now I know where all the hot, Gay sex scenes that never happened in Trick ended up. They've been 1 converted from male-male to female-female and dropped into the new, joyful Lesbian-themed comedy, Better Than Chocolate. In fact, this film pushes the R rating about as far as it can go without lapsing into NC-17. Whether that's good or bad depends on your tastes for explicit scenes in movies, but at least the hot stuff in Better Than Chocolate has a context. This steamy Canadian production, directed by Anne Wheeler, not only embraces Lesbian sex but also the taboo movie subject of... sex toys (I'll just leave it at that for now). The best thing about the film's racy sex scenes is that, in spite of them, it never loses sight of a solid story about two women coming to terms with their love for each other and how that love should be expressed. Maggie (Karyn Dwyer) is 19-yearold Lesbian bookstore clerk who wants to be a writer. She also works as a girls' club dancer by night. Despite being thoroughly out of the closet and even somewhat of a crusader, she hasn't quite been able to bring herself to be honest with her family. When she meets a travelling, free lance artist named Kim (Christina Cox), fire ignites, passionate lips lock and the clothes fly! Things get very complicated for Maggie when, just as she's becoming involved with Kim, her Mrs. Cleaver-esque mom, Lila (Wendy Crewson), and teenaged brother, Paul PP (Kevin Mundy), show up unex- pectedly for a visit. The stage is set for all kinds of shenanigans and not a few serious moments, too, as Maggie must deal with coming out to her mother and brother, and do so without alienating her newly found love. This is where Better Than Chocolate succeeds where so many Gay and Lesbian-themed films before have failed. It admirably depicts Lesbians in refreshingly honest, unpreachy ways, and its well-drawn TRIMARK PICTURES PRESENTS A SHARON Mc GOWAN AND PEGGY THOMPSON ',ODOM.
