By Danny Su STA FF REPORTER rom Aug. 27 through Sept. 18, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts is showing 12 films from F Hong Kong made during the 1980s. The series features some the best and brightest stars and directors that Hong Kong has to offer. Included In the festival are John Woo's A Better Tomnorrow, Stanley Kwan's Rouge, Johnny Mak's Long Arm of the Law, and Tsui Hark's Chinese Ghost Story. A Better Tomorrow depicts the glamour and the agony of organized crime in Hong Kong and features the best shooting scenes that you will ever see. Chow Yun-Fat and Ti Lung provide spectacular performances that will last in your memory for a life time. Rouge is a compelling love story between two people who live in vastly different environments. Anita Mui's performance earned her an award for best actress. Long Arm of the Law may be one of the most violent movies ever made: In the film, a group of illegal immigrants from China begins a reign of terror in Hong Kong because they feel that they have nothing to fear.

HONEY, I BLEW UP THE IUD Directed by Randal Kleiser, Written by Tom Eberhardt, Peter Elbing, and Garry Goodrow. StarringRick Moranis, Marcia Strassman, DanielShalikar, and Joshua Shalikar.

OFF HIS RCERS Directedby Barry Cook. At Loews Copley Place.

By Chris Roberge ARPTSEDITORR mmoney, i Blew Uap the Kid, the follow-up to the entertaining 1989 Disney comedy Honey, I Shrunk the Kids is the latest in a long line of sequels to open nationally this summer. Like most of the con- tinuations, Honey, I Blew Up the Kids is guilty of some uninspired rehashing of many of the elements that made the earlier film one of the biggest hits of its year. But there are also enough amusing new developments and amazing visual effects gags to just help this film overcome its shortcomings. It may not have all-of the charm and fun of the original, but Hoplny. I Blew Up the Kid is a fairly entertaining movie in its own right. In the time that has passed since inventor Wayne Szalinski (Rick Moraniis) accidentally shrunk and then saved his children, he and his family have moved to, a suburb of Uds Vegas, where he is continuing his growth-altering experiments at a prestigious laboratory headed by Clifford Sterling (Lloyd Bridges).
