Peace Corps no refuge
John Candy (left), Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks star in “Volunteers,” which starts at the Regent One today. Hanks .(of “Splash” fame) plays Lawrence Bourne 111, a cheerful opportunist running away from a $28,000 gambling debt and a bookie looking to break his hips.
Where better to hide than the Peace Corps. Except this is 1962 and Bourne finds himself in the jungles of Thailand, besieged by the C.1.A., communist Insurgents and opium warlords.
“Moscow on the Hudson” begins at the Westend tomorrow, but fear not fight fans, “Rocky IV” transfers to the Midcity. “Cocoon” also switches venues, but within the
building, from the Savoy Two to Savoy One, and the latest episode in Charles Bronson’s vigilante saga, “Death Wish 3” fills the gap. Over at the Carlton, “A
Nightmare on Elm Street,” a horror starring John Saxon, screens from today. The Academy drops “That’s Dancing” and Bertrand Tavernier’s pastoral masterpiece, “A Sunday in the Country,” takes over both the 3 p.m. and 8.30 p.m. screenings.
