Winters. Short Takes On Movies band' (PG) This movie immediately poses the question: Can Farrah Fawcett-Majors act? Well, the jury is still out, but in this opus the Angel" teams up with Jeff Bridges to run all over town trying to solve the mystery of her husband's murder. Instead of turning hubby's body over to the police, they stow it in a freezer and try to track down the killer themselves. This leads to much racing about on a trail strewn witb bodies, stolen diamonds, bogus insurance reports, electronic surveillance devices and some pretty cutesy-pie dialogue. Copley News Service Somebody Killed Her Hus- 'Bloodbrothers' (R) Here is a story about people whose lives are so mixed up in being macho and cool and making bucks that tbey lose their sensibilities.

It's also the story of Stony de Coco, played by young Richard Gere, and the decision he must make: to follow in the footsteps of his boozing, brawling father or take a higher road. Set against an environment of middleclass Italian family life in Bronx tenements, "Bloodbrothers" could have made a gutsy statement of what it's like to grow up in the Bronx and want out. The rating is for the vulgar words. If they had been strung together they would have reached from here to the Bronx. School Menu Listed For Tunkhannock Tunkhannock.
