Poodle owners invited to
put on a French accent

During Hawaii's annual celebration of all things French, the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center will be hosting a French Festival Poodle Contest and Parade beginning 6:30 p.m. Oct. 23.

Dress up your pooch and don't forget to get glammed up yourself.

Prizes will be awarded for the best poodle personality, best poodle costume and best owner-poodle look-alikes. Winners will receive $50 RHSC gift certificates, and if you're a good boy or girl, maybe your pooch will share the prize with you.

The event takes place at the Fountain Courtyard Stage. And stick around after the contest, when all poodle contestants go for a walk through the mall during a French Mardi Gras Poodle Parade.

All French poodles are eligible for the contest, which is free to enter. Call 955-0228 to sign up.

Coming to the big screen

RANDOM HEARTS
Rated R
When Sgt. Dutch Van Den Broeck (Harrison Ford), a Washington, D.C. police officer in the division of Internal Affairs, discovers that his wife Peyton (Susanna Thompson) was a passenger on a fatal flight bound for Miami, he realizes that she had been having an affair -- with Cullen Chandler (Peter Coyote), the husband of congresswoman Kay Chandler (Kristin Scott Thomas). But Dutch is unable to convince Kay of the truth until the two follow the lovers' tracks to Miami. Meanwhile, the media has caught wind of the adulterous liaison and that could mean trouble for Kay's re-election campaign. And Dutch finds himself caught up in the antics of cops behaving badly. When Dutch and Kay find themselves drawn to one another, the attraction seems driven as much by desperation as it is by desire.
