Kevin Costner crafts double coup in new film MOVIE REVIEW Dances With Wolves Director: Kevin Costner. Cast: Kevin Costner, Graham Greene, Mary McDonnell. Rated PG-13. Masterpiece k-kk-k Terrific kkkk Good kkk So-So kk Stinker By Bob Fenster The Arizona Republic Not since Robert Redford won an Oscar for his directorial debut with Ordinary People in 1980 has an actor turned director so triumphantly. What makes Kevin Costner's achievement with Dances With Wolves even more remarkable is that while Redford stayed behind the camera, Costner directs and stars.

It's difficult for any actor to direct himself effectively. It's amazing when someone does it in an epic that turns out as fine as this tale of the Old West. Look for Dances With Wolves to pull down multiple Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Costner for Best Director and Best Actor and co-star Graham Greene for Best Supporting Actor. Costner stars as Lt. John Dunbar, a Union cavalry officer during the Civil War who transfers to the Dakota wilderness because he wants to see the frontier before it disappears.

Dunbar's outpost turns out to be a deserted sod hut in the middle of the plains. He sets up camp and spends several months trying to befriend his only neighbors, a band of Sioux. The Sioux, who consider white men to be trespassers on their land, can't decide whether to kill Dunbar. But Dunbar finally gains two allies: the holy man Kicking Bird (Greene) and Stands With a Fist (Mary McDonnell), a white woman who was adopted by the Sioux as a little girl. Little by little, Dunbar "goes Indian." He becomes witness to a time in history when a way of life was changing, and not for the better.

But when other soldiers finally arrive on the prairie, whose side will Dunbar be on? Dances With Wolves is certainly not the first See COSTNER'S, page E8 St. Nicholas soon will be here, you've bought about zero gifts, and you're stricken with Claus-trophobia!

"I never do any of the songs that say, 'Gee, it's OK for you to go out and have your fun, but anytime you want to come back I'll leave the light on for you and I'll be Bogguss says with a laugh.

"I wouldn't want to write the things that I would really do," she says with a strong hint that it wouldn't be a pretty sight. "He can come home, but he's looking for a lifelong torture." Bogguss is calling from Nashville, where she's made her home for the past few years. The Academy of Country Music named Bogguss best new female vocalist of 1989 on the basis of her first album, Somewhere Between. Now, she's touring with Clint Black and Alabama to help push her second album, Moment of Truth. (The tour brings country music to the Desert Sky Pavilion for the first time Saturday night.) She's hardly a newcomer now, but touring with Alabama the group that just happened to be voted country artist of the '80s at the same ceremony where Bogguss got her award and hotter-than-a-howitzer Clint Black definitely is raising her profile.

"Alabama draws a lot of loyal fans, and Clint's been getting an incredible response. One thing that has been good for me is that he draws a lot of young women, and the younger women in the country market are who buy my records." Bogguss says she always hoped her point of view would communicate strongly to women. "I've done a lot of traveling on my own, and I've left the stereotype of 'women need to be protected' behind me. We all have this interior insecurity that says, 'What So it helps when someone is out there cheering you on, saying, 'Go ahead and do what you want. It's Bogguss certainly has taken her own advice.

She started singing while she was still in college, studying art at Illinois State University. Upon graduating, she began booking herself on tours across the country.
