OPENING TOMORROW
The Beautician and the Beast This high-camp trifle stars Fran Drescher as a whiny Jewish beautician from Queens. See review on Page C-3. (PG) At Kahala, Kapolei, Keolu, Pearlridge West, Restaurant Row
Dante's Peak
Volcano disaster movie stars Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton. See review on Page C-3 (PG-13) At Aikahi, Enchanted Lake, Kapolei, Koko Marina, Laie, Mililani, Nanakuli, Pearlridge West, Restaurant Row, Waikiki 2
The Pest
John Leguizamo stars in a comedy based on "The Most Dangerous Game." See review on Page C-3(PG-13) At Kailua, Kapolei, Pearlridge West, Restaurant Row
CONTINUING
Beavis and Butt-head Do America MTV's animated moronic teenage geeks cover more ground than Bob Hope and Bing Crosby ever did in their road movies, but don't generate as much laughter. (PG-13) At Kam Drive-In
Beverly Hills Ninja 
As the first white man trained in the secret survival arts of the Japanese warriors, Haru (Chris Farley) is more ninny than ninja and can't do anything right. (PG-13) At Kahala, Kam Drive-In, Kapolei, Keolu, Mililani, Nanakuli, Pearlridge West
Breaking the Waves
This alternately rapturous and devastating love story is one of the best films of 1996. It won the Grand Jury Prize at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival and Emily Watson's wrenching portrayal has reaped best actress awards all over the globe. (R) At Marina through Sunday
The English Patient
This adaptation of Michael Ondaatje's novel of wartime passion packs the adventurous and emotional wallop of "Casablanca" and the coolheaded intellectualism of some scholarly treatise on the futility of war. (R) At Kapolei, Koko Marina, Varsity
Evita
Madonna plays the title role in the film version of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's musical. The clamorous, overblown style can't disguise the vagueness of the story. A triumph of flash over substance. (PG) At Kapolei, Keolu, Waikiki 1
Fierce Creatures
The ripping yarn is built around plans to pump up a zoo's profits by stocking it only with fierce creatures. The film and its stars, John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline and Michael Palin, are hilarious. (PG-13) At Kahala, Restaurant Row
The Funeral
This pretentious crime movie is difficult to watch. The solid performances from Christopher Walken, Chris Penn, Vincent Gallo, Annabella Sciorra and Isabella Rossellini and some finely written scenes are all in the service of tired Mafia themes. (R) At Marina through Sunday
Gridlock'd
Tim Roth, the late Tupac Shakur and Thandie Newton star in this clumsy heroin-addiction comedy that just isn't funny. (R) At Enchanted Lake, Kapolei, Pearlridge West, Restaurant Row
In Love and War
The real-life World War I romance between 18-year-old Ernest Hemingway and 26-year-old Red Cross nurse Agnes Von Kurowsky is portrayed with Chris O'Donnell and Sandra Bullock in the leads. Beautifully produced and well-acted. (PG-13) At Aikahi, Pearlridge, Restaurant Row
Jackie Chan's First Strike
The storyline is difficult to follow, but Jackie Chan's stunts are extraordinary. (PG-13) At Kapolei, Laie, Pearlridge West, Restaurant Row
Jerry Maguire
Tom Cruise plays a sports agent who dishonors himself by being honest. Nobody does redemption better than Cruise, and he does it again. (R) At Kahala, Kailua, Kapolei, Pearlridge West
Meet Wally Sparks
Rodney Dangerfield's frantic new comedy is an adolescent spoof of TV talk shows and the pious politicians who hate them. Dangerfield executes every stunt with joyously dirty-minded gusto. (R) At Enchanted Lake
Metro
This is a mediocre urban thriller with Eddie Murphy as a San Francisco hostage negotiator who does most of his reasoning with guns. "Metro" is retro. (R) At Kahala, Kapolei, Pearlridge, Restaurant Row
Michael
This story about a grungy archangel's visit to Earth owes almost all of its pleasures to the film's star, John Travolta. (PG) At Kahala, Pearlridge West
Mother
Writer-director Albert Brooks' perfectly pitched comic direction and witty, surprising script give Debbie Reynolds an ideal showcase as an eccentric mother who uses a hazy-dazey air of ineptness to keep annoying problems like her grown-up son at a distance. (PG-13) At Varsity
The Relic
The story of a biologist (Penelope Ann Miller) and a cop (Tom Sizemore) trying to solve a rash of grisly murders is reminiscent of old hammy disaster films. (R) At Kapolei, at Marina through Sunday, Pearlridge, Restaurant Row
Scream
Director Wes Craven's teens-in-peril thriller raises the cheesy formula of the stalk-and-slash movie to an unexpected level of intelligence and valid suspense. (R) At Enchanted Lake, Kahala, Kam Drive-In, Kapolei, Mililani, Pearlridge West
Shadow Conspiracy
Charlie Sheen plays a presidential aide who ends up running for his life, along with his ex-girlfriend (Linda Hamilton) after he uncovers a deadly plot to overthrow the government. Complicated and uninteresting. (R) At Enchanted Lake, Kam Drive-In, Kapolei, Pearlridge West, Restaurant Row
Shine
Australian filmmaker Scott Hicks tells the story of a prodigy, pianist David Helfgott, driven to madness by a possessive father, and saved by strangers. It is an unforgettable story of the power of love, richly rendered. (PG-13) At Cinerama
Star Wars: The Special Edition
On the 20th anniversary of the movie's release, this rerelease features some new footage, enhanced special effects and a digital THX soundtrack. (PG) At Kahala, Kapolei, Keolu, Mililani, Pearlridge, Restaurant Row, Waikiki 3
Turbulence
Dramatically flat variation of the killer-is-loose scenario has Ray Liotta as a convicted killer who gets control of a Boeing 747 jumbo jet en route from New York to Los Angeles. (R) At Pearlridge West
Zeus and Roxanne
This tale of friendship between dog and dolphin (and their respective humans) is just too cute and badly overacted. The story's conflict remains on the level of a comic strip and adult stars Steve Guttenberg and Kathleen Quinlan have been seen to far better advantage. (PG) At Kapolei
