Showing at: Area theaters. 1 Jns, fUHMHHJ TS 1 fcmnttit inii-i imtmimi- iin.ir'r.r)uitint.ni. i i mail Im i nilr 3r By Desmond Ryan Inquirer Movie Critic Nine-tenths of psychic-possession movies obey the unwritten Hollywood law that, when it comes to the depiction of soul survival, one's company and two's an uncontrollable crowd. Amid the mad killers driven by demons and the twisted teenagers armed with supernatural powers, it takes courage to argue that there can also be some very funny situations involving old-fashioned Je-kyll-Hyde cohabitation. The last comedy to try was 1984's All of Me, and if it turned out to be less than the sum of its parts, Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin at least had some amusing comments on sexual identity and assumptions.

Joe Dante's Innerspace is a beguiling entertainment that explores the same premise while seeking a broader appeal by balancing fantasy and fun with all but flawless judgment. For the film's voyage inside the human body, the special effects from George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic are nothing less than state-of-the-heart. But it is the presence of mind Dante and his mentor Steven Spielberg (here billed as the "presenter1') displayed in choosing Dennis Quaid and Martin Short as conten- tious occupants of the body in question that produces the needed chemistry in what could easily have been another formula summer film. Devotees of science fiction will immediately recognize Innerspace's august ancestry Richard Fleischer's highly regarded Fantastic Voyage (1966), where a rescue team was miniaturized and injected into the body of a scientist to perform a life-saving )brain Dante's film sends Quaid, a swag- gering and out-of-favor test pilot, into the system of a hypochondriac supermarket clerk (Short) aftes high-tech thieves foil a military experiment, but all these two films really share is their premise. When Quaid's bacteria-size ship begins its Short circuit, what follows is no tired recycling.

The difference here is Dante and his sense uf humor. Whether in the impish howls he injected into his droll piece of werewolvery in The-Howling or the puree of gremlins in the Cuisinart in Gremlins, Dante loves to defuse tension with jokes from his encyclopedic command of pop culture. Sometimes this penchant can lead him astray, but it's particularly effective in Innerspace because it lends an air of easy-going familiarity to the film's wild developments. Throughout Lt. Tuck Pendelton's involuntary odyssey through the innards of downtrodden Jack Putter, the important anatomical position is tongue in cheek.

Screenwriters Jeffrey Boam and Chip Proser have rounded up the usual suspects to serve as villains multinational corporate heavies, arms dealers and assorted goons but what sustains Innerspace is the byplay between Quaid and Short. Matters get heated when Short Martin Short, a supermarket clerk in dire peril, gets a hand from Meg Ryan in "Innerspace." A SIGN OF THE EIGHTIES Fiction. By Gail Parent. Putnam. $17.95.

Gail Parent loves being a traitor to her own kind. A Sign of the Eighties, her latest novel, continues Parent's long-running comedic expose of the credo that educated, urban women are supposed to live by. Forget what NOW and the slick-paper magazines might say about careers and independence, Parent's books insist. Deep down, today's women want the same things out of life that their predecessors did: wedding rings and baby strollers. "Shelly," Parent notes of her latest heroine, "wanted to be one of the clean, shiny faces that smiled from the inside of Ms.

magazine, the ones who climbed mountains instead of wishing to be married, but she wasn't there yet." Nor would Shelly Silver be there at the end of the book's 319 very funny pages. As a novelist, Parent is firmly committed to never allowing her characters to suffer in noble silence if that means passing up an opportunity to make philosophical points with their emotional pratfalls. This time, Parent is concerned with' the upheavals of a stranded generation. A Sign of the Eighties picks up the flower children's story two decades later. "She didn't want to be the person she had become," Parent notes of Silver, campus radical turned Manhattan caterer.

"She wanted to save the whales. She wanted to send money every month to an orphan. When she blew out the candles on her birthday cakes, she wanted to wish for world peace. Instead she wished that Mickey Burke would marry her." The object of Silver's heartthrobs is a TV script writer, like Parent herself. Unfortunately for Silver, Burke fears commitment for professional reasons: "When he was married he couldn't think of punch lines." In the end, Silver does get her man or rather boy, for in Parent's vision the male of the contemporary urban species doesn't exist in the emotionally mature form.

"It was the sigh of a generation of men who had been caught for the second time," Parent observes of Burke's capitulation, "those boys who couldn't remember wanting to get married once and now they were standing before rabbis again and again." A Sign of the Eighties should provide a lot of laughs for readers who were college kids in the '60s, especially as Parent's wisecracking insights force upon them the shock of recognition: There, lacking God's grace, now go I as well. Reviewed for the Chicago Tribune by Ron Grossman. elevates this byplay to foreplay with Quaid's girlfriend. Their banter the test pilot can communicate with his equally reluctant host has a pleasing bite that carries Innerspace past some vacuous moments of misadventure involving a cowboy crook. Quaid played astronauts in The Right Stujf and Enemy Mine and space brings out the best in him.

Even though he spends most of In nerspace strapped into the cockpit of his tiny vessel, Quaid is in the driver's seat whenever he's in the scene if only as a voice. His sly bravado makes a largely passive role an active presence in the' movie. But Short, an uncommonly gifted physical comedian with great timing, holds his own and the contrast of these two talents is a pleasing counterpoint to their arguments as characters in Innerspace. The prize for the bad guys, led by Kevin McCarthy, in Innerspace is the computer chip that makes the miniaturization possible. But the reward and it is likely to be huge at the box office goes to Dante and his cast for having the guts to do more than go by the numbers and rehash a cherished old movie.

Inner-space is a good idea whose time has come again and then some. A suburban sitter finds vice and nobility in the city Review: Film ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING Produced by Debra Hill and Lynda Obst. directed by Chris Columbus, written by David Simkins. photography by Ric Waite. music by Michael Kamen, distributed by Buena Vista Pictures.

Though its conception is unabashedly derivative of Risky Business and Ferris Bueller's Day Off suburban kids encounter city chicanery Babysitting reinvents itself in every scene. David Simkins' mercurial script takes hairpin turns into a nightclub (where white-bread Chris is commanded to. sing the blues and, hilariously, does) before bounding unpredictably into abandoned warehouses, University of Chicago frat houses and infested South Side garages and scaling the face of a skyscraper in the Loop. Unlike most suburban-easc-versus-city-sleaze movies. Babysitting argues that you By Carrie Rickey Inquirer Movie Critic Adventures in Babysitting, a suburban sitter's escapade in Chicago's tenderloin district, does not involve raiding the refrigerator, talking on the telephone and letting the kids stay up past bedtime.

In this droll diversion by rookie director Chris Columbus (screenwriter of Gremlins and young Sherlock Holmes), a plucky 17-year-old spends an anxious night that could be called Risky Business in the After Hours. Chris Parker (pert Elisabeth Shue) agrees to take care of a mischievous tomboy whose teenage brother and his -chum lust after Chris. Saddled with all three of them and summoned to rescue her asks, "Will the girl from the wrong side of the tracks get invited to the prom by the preppie?" Chris' crisis springs from trying to be selfless, trying to minister to the needs of her charges and her friend. As Chris, Shue projects a sunny naturalness that suffuses Babysitting and gives it a heartfelt warmth. Shue is supported by the endearingly obnoxious Maia Brewton who, as Sara a 9-year-old with a crush on the Nordic war god Thor strikes one as a good deal more intellectual than her hyperhormonal brother, Brad (Keith Coogan) and his friend Daryl (Anthony Rapp).

Adventures in Babysitting might begin as a teen nightmare, but it ends a sweet dream that even adults and pre-pubescents can share. can find noble individuals in the scuzziest of urban locations, and slimy worms in the tidiest of bedroom communities. Simkins' script and Columbus' lean direction highlight Babysif-Jing's appealing characters and not their high jinks positively revolutionary for a teen pic. Shue, last seen in The Karate Kid, makes a winning Chris, the 'conscientious sitter whose very thoughtfulness for others triggers an evening of reckless endangerment. As with the responsible children found in The Cat in the Hat, the more Chris tries to restore order, the more her efforts boomerang.

In many ways, Babysitting is interesting for what it is not: namely, a John Hughes selfish-teen movie that best friend from Chicago's vice-riddled Greyhound station, Chris endures a flat tire, a maniacal auto mechanic, a car-theft cartel and a city of pawing men who mistake her SHOWTIMES rOR TODAY ONLY MOTION PICTURE RATINGS ALL AGES ADMITTED General Audience PG ALL AGES ADMITTED.
