The idea of the Blues Brothers is a funny one but something gets lost in its translation to the screen A lot of funny ideas get lost in The Blues Brothers WHEN JAKE AND Elwood are making the rounds to round up members of their band the pursuit is never punchy enough Every scene lasts too long or is shot so that one feels closed in At a fancy Chicago restaurant this is a movie as much about that city as about the two musicians you yearn for Animal House's food-fight madness Jake and Elwood toss shrimp into each mouths and offend a few customers but the expected pandemonium never occurs When Jake and Elwood go to a soul-food cafe run by Aretha Franklin she tells her husband not to join the band and breaks into a version of her rocking song Think Three women at the counter become her back-up' singers a sweet inspiration and the 79 STWlN 1 EROTIC DIRECTOR 2 BLUE YONDER 3 DIRTY SUSAN New Male Film (X) mnriwm ROGER MOORE In FFOLKESpg Tj Aho JOHN BELUSHI In 5:00 PM ANIMAL HOUSE aasaEaa TWIN CINEMA 2C39 COLLINS AVE MB 534-4360 SINSLE ADMISSION GOOD FOR ROTH CINEMAS CINEMA I BOY P0URRI nos HIGH RIDER CINEMA II GO YOUR OWN WAY QD I 203 I Uyi PIUS LIVE SHOW EARIYABIRD PRICEfAT ALL LOIWS THEATRES EVERY DAY EXCEPT SUNDAY UNTIL JLST rt Of COUiNS REDFORD brubakerJ 1 FAT ITTTT-a 866 5T Ol COUlN'a BV jRl If they've rraily got what makes A I it's going to take everything they've got rHIl ijpzsEcmmxEA UlOCAtM Of i7rt GHOF CtATtN KlNOAcL OR AVt the BSLRriD 7a TERRIFYING 1 SECRET HAS SEEN KEPT LOEWS KENDALL ft 2 John mnm lohn Travolta COWBOY Wy MIAMI GPNS PR -M-ySM NMBV IQI WALT pooouctws 1 1 I Imary poppinsJ efl I yy 94 7-35Q6 JiTmDNS OH 1 185 ST jEglWHOUY MOSES?
