2-D Oct. 28. 1983 shrkvfport-ijossifr The Times MOVIE CAPSULES if I 1 ADS Id Hit- I C'i film version of Robert Ludlum's novel about espionage turning a weekend into a bloody terror. (R. Quail Creek Cinema and South Park Cinema) Richard Pryor Here and Now.

This is another filmed Pryor concert, so expect funniness and blue jokes and topical material. (R. East-gate Cinema IV and St. Vincent 6 Theatres) Risky Business. Tom Cruise stars as the teen-ager who finds his life turned upside down when his parents go on a trip and he is left alone.

He hooks up with a hooker and ends up briefly being her manager. It's one of the better youth-oriented films. Cruise is a rising young star and gives the picture spark. (R: nudity, profanity. St.

Vincent 6 Theatres) Romantic Comedy. Stars Dudley Moore and Mary Steenburgen portray Broadway playwriting partners who are too different to always get along in a comedy that is too tedious to be entertaining. The stars don't spark and the story meanders around until one's mind meanders to other things. This one misses by a wide mark. (PG: adult situations, some profanity.

Eastgate Cinema IV) Staying Alive. This dance movie stars John Travolta as an aspiring Broadway dancer who gets caught between two women. It's a sequel of sorts to Travolta's Saturday Night Fever. His energetic dancing and some new faces do a good bit in overcoming thinnish plotting that sometimes borders on the cliched. The music is good.

(PG: adult situations, some profanity. Joy's Cinema City Six) Trading Places. A new comedy starring Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy. It's about a low-life (Murphy) switching places with a high-life (Aykroyd), and it's in it i "Richard Pryor Here and Now," the latest film of the comedian on stage, is here now, showing at Eastgate Cinema IV A guide to films around the town: a indicates new film and films returning to theaters. Beyond the Limit.

Michael Caine and Richard Gere star in a misguided political thriller that has less to do with politics and more to do with the Gere character's love life. That fails to be interesting. Caine is good in a wasted role, but Gere is deplorable. It's based on Graham Greene's The Honorary Consul, but you would never know it. (R: violence, nudity, profanity.

Eastgate Cinema IV) The Big Chill. Rebellious '60s students meet about 20 years later at a friend's funeral. It's a good idea but director Lawrence Kasdan doesn't pull it off. Too much aimless chatter and characters that don't cohere make it rather aimless. Good performances come from a cast featuring Kevin Kline, Glenn Close, JoBeth Williams, William Hurt and Tom Berenger.

(R: profanity, brief nudity. Shreve City Twin Cinemas) Brainstorm. Natalie Wood, Christopher Walken, Cliff Robertson and Louise Fletcher star In a film about the exploration of the human mind that leads to some horrifying results. This was Miss Wood's last film. (PG.

Shreve City Twin Cinemas) The Dead Zone. Christopher Walken, Brooke Adams and Tom Skerritt star in the screen version of Stephen King's novel about a man with second sight and the horrors that await him. The picture proves more interesting than good, but the performances are nice even if the terror is stunted. (R: violence St. Vincent 6 Theatres and Bossier 6 Theatres) m.

nt huuuunx nua. mis is a warmly funny movie about a young woman trying to better herself through education and, at the same time, turning her tutor's shaky life upside down. Michael Caine and newcomer Julie Walters give sterling performances in the kind of literate comedy that is needed. (PG: profanity. St.

Vincent 6 Theatres) Evil Dead. This horror picture about the undead comes back after exiting town for a week. (R. Joy's Cinema City Six) The Final Terror. As is expected, this is another vehicle in the current horror genre with a newcomer cast and not much else.
