This camp spectacle stars Sherilyn Fenn (Boxing Helena) as an upper-crust Southern belle who abandons the posh life for sex on the road with a carny worker. Naturally, the older folk (Burl Ives, Louise Fletcher) take exception. Typically silly, soft-porn stuff from director Zalman King (Wild Orchid), this erotic joke of a movie is good for putting one's busy brain on hold for awhile. Colorful support from Kristy McNichol as a cowgirl, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and the late Hervé Villechaiz (Fantasy Island). --Tom Keogh

Montserrat Cabell� & Jos� Carreras: Love Duets

	Baps »rank: 15077 starring: Halle Berry, Natalie Desselle, Martin Landau, Ian Richardson, Troy Beyer directed by: Robert Townsend : :What was director Robert Townsend thinking? His movies, such as The Five Heartbeats and The Hollywood Shuffle, are sweet, enjoyable little pictures. But this 'comedy' about two flashy Georgia women hoping to find money and men in Los Angeles is stereotypical, unfunny, embarrassing, and boring. Halle Berry and newcomer Natalie Desselle are trapped in pitiful roles playing against the distinguished but miscast Martin Landau and a wasted lan Richardson. B.A.P.S., by the way, stands for black American princesses. There are better urban comedies ...

Furie : :Diana Ross stars as legendary blues singer Billie Holiday in this biopic that chronicles her rise and fall. lt begins with her late childhood, a stint as a prostitute, those early days as a blues singer, her marriages, and her drug addiction. 0verly glossy and lacking depth, this is worth seeing only for the performances. Diana Ross was nominated for an 0scar for her acting debut. A dynamo with sparkling screen presence, she realistically conveys the confusion and unhappiness that caused Holiday so ...

Dutton, Alfre Woodard, Carl Gordon, Tommy Hollis, Lou Myers directed by: Lloyd Richards : :The only one of August Wilson's plays to be filmed (and for television, at that), this 1990 Pulitzer Prize-winner is an amazing piece of work. Adapted by Wilson and directed by Lloyd Richards, who staged it on Broadway, the play deals not just with racism and its effects but with the ongoing legacy and curse of slavery on modern blacks.

Live in Concert »rank: 1532 starring: Richard Pryor, Patti LaBelle, Jennifer Lee directed by: Jeff Margolis : :Watching Pryor go from imitating a drinking deer to a woman debating about going in the woods gives just a hint of the comedic genius of the man.
