TONIGHT'S movies should bring about a strong sense of deja vu in regular viewers since they've all been on before - in some cases, several times before.
RUSSELL Mulcahy used to make rock videos before he directed Highlander (World 9.30pm, Original Running Time 116 mins) which could account for the excess of dizzy camera angles.
The story concerns a strange gang of immortals who engage in mortal combat in a variety of locations down through the ages, from the Scottish Highlands of the Middle Ages to modern-day America.
Christopher Lambert (Greystokes Tarzan) is the hero with the perpetually pained look who's instructed in the art of survival by dashing Sean Connery (Medicine Man ).
The script is dreadful, the storyline preposterous, but the frenzied pace and a wonderful villain help make the film a bit of ludicrous fun.
ONE of the few merits that Jaws 3 (Pearl 9.30pm, ORT 99 mins) had when it was released in the cinema was the novelty value of being in 3-D. Without that, this tale, which is unrelated to the first two Jaws except by contrivance, is sadly lacking.
It's a case of Jaws goes to Ocean Park, as the big fish goes on the rampage in Florida's new Undersea Kingdom, having entered via a broken sea-gate. Dennis Quaid (The Big Easy ) is the designer of the giant aquarium and Bess Armstrong plays dolphin girl.Neither realises anything's amiss until people start disappearing then reappearing in pieces.
