Details: (407) LOS ANGELES Emilio Estevez has a message for those who doubt his talent or dismiss him as simply a member of the "Brat Pack" group of young actors. "I plan on being in this business until old age," said the star of the new Young Guns, a commercially daring revival of the dormant Western genre.

"I have a lot of tricks left up my sleeve." Such self-assurance is characteristic of Estevez even though, at age 26, he has already had a bumpy ride on the Hollywood roller coaster. He has hit the heights with such films as Stakeout and The Breakfast Club, and reached the depths with the "Brat Pack" label and a critical battering for Wisdom. In the new film, Estevez, who says he has emerged somewhat bulletproof to critics' judgments, stars as the legendary Billy the Kid at the outset of his outlaw career when he led his gang against corrupt merchants and officials in Lincoln, New Mexico. The gang of Wild West urchins known as the Regulators were taken in by British merchant John Tun-stall (Terence Stamp), who used them against business rivals. Eventually, the Regulators ran amok.

Estevez, in his first appearance in a period piece, is competing with some illustrious predecessors: Roy Rogers, Paul Newman, Audie Murphy and Kris Kris-tofferson are among the actors who have rendered Billy on screen. Both Estevez and his brother Charlie Sheen, four years his junior, have appeared in films with their father, Martin Sheen, whose real name is Ramon Estevez. But Young Guns, is the first film the brothers have made together. Charlie Sheen plays Billy's, rival for leadership of the Regulators: Estevez is candid about their relationship, and about the reservations he had about making a film with his brother, who rose to stardom rapidly and whose two previous films, Platoon and Wall Street, were big hits and Oscar winners. "Growing up with Charlie, he and I were bitter rivals.

Everything came easy for him, he didn't have to work for the things my parents made me work for," Eitharong to go out with a blast After 2V5s years as downtown Orlando's avant-garde art gallery, the Eitharong Gallery is going out of business. Heavy rains in late July caused the collapse of sections of the roof over the building that houses the gallery, the First Baptist Church Thrift Shop and Tropical Theatre. Gallery owner Tony Eitharong said he will close Saturday with a party in the shop, 130 W. Central from 6 to 10 p.m. Artworks on display will be discounted by 20 percent from 10 a.m.

to 10 p.m. Saturday. Admission to the closing party is free. Emilio Estevez in 'Young Guns' Brat Pack actor plans on being around for a long time. Estevez said.

As a western, the film is a daunting commercial risk and the ensemble cast, which also features Kiefer Sutherland and Lou Diamond Phillips, might seem like "Brat Pack Goes West." "Here I am appearing in a film again with a bunch of young guys," said Estevez. "But it would have been silly to pass it up on that basis." Estevez made his screen debut in the cult hit Repo Man but was later lumped into the Brat Pack category for roles in The Breakfast Club and St. Elmo's Fire. Young Guns attracted him, he said, because it is the first attempt at an historically accurate treatment of Billy the Kid. Making the most of his haunting blue eyes and eerie laugh, Estevez portrays the outlaw as a disturbing mixture of fierce loyalty to his "pals" and homicidal hatred of his enemies.

It adds up to a character who Estevez said was for the most part very unlike himself. "We only share a twisted, perverse sense of humor," he laughed. "We both view life through a glass darkly." But in person Estevez has a youthful intensity and unshakable self-confidence that also evokes Billy. Mention the Brat Pack label, for example, and his eyes glint. "It was a judgment based on ignorance and arrogance," he said.

"It was something I had no control over. Unfortunately it hurt. It turned out to be something dangerous." Estevez said Stakeout, in which he almost upstaged co-star Richard Dreyfuss, had helped him move away from that label. The passage of time will do the rest, he added. The low point 'in Estevez's career was probably Wisdom, which at age 23 he wrote, directed, and starred in.

One reviewer called the film, about a latterday Robin Hood and his girlfriend-accomplice, "Bonnie and Clunk." "I took a beating from critics and I took it personally. I was broken for a period of time," Estevez recalled. "But I've learned you really can't take it personally. Making a film at that age was winning the battle. Having it released was icing on the cake." Beach party, featuring boat rides, volleyball and water-skiing exhibitions: 1-4 p.m.
