Actors found VANCOUVER (CP) — Two Vancouver child actors have caught the eye of ] moviestar John Travolta. Mare Reid, 11, acted with Travolta in the film The Ex- perts, shot in the Vancouver area and at Niagara-On-The- Lake, Ont. During the shoot, Travolta became friends of Reid’s family, including his nine-year-old sister, Giann Goncalves. Now Travolta wants Giann to play his movie-daughter in a film to be shot in Los Angeles. “He took a real liking to the kids,” said the childrens’ mother, Margarita Reid, 40. “He seems to get on very well with children and he's asked that Giann be in his next movie.” Father Modesto Goncalves said “The people who are in the business always say (Marc and Giann) have both got a natural ability for acting. Even when they're tired, they get in front of a camera and they seem to light up.” TYPE SETTING Give your newsletters meeting bulletins, etc, a professional appearance Comera-ready type for your photocopier CASTLEGAR NEWS 365-7266 ther information.

Russia films Rambo By VICTOR DABBY Canadian Press He's being billed as “Russia's answer to Rambo,” but Sylvester Stallone doesn't have much to fear from Mikhail Nozhkin. Nozhkin leaves behind far fewer corpses in his film, Solo Voyage: The Detached Mission, and he doesn't seem to have the same relish when massacring the enemy. But like Stallone, he probably believes that “you gotta do what you gotta do” — especially if it's in defence of Mother Russia and world peace. North American film-goers curious about the Nozhkin phenomenon — which has been gleefully covered by every American media outlet from Entertainment Tonight to Newsweek — will finally get a chance to see the Red Army commando do his thing. Rick Perry, a Montreal film and video producer, believes Nozhkin's “novelty factor” will have them lining up at the box office or video store for a change to see this latest film oddity. GOT THE RIGHTS Perry has just signed a “six-figure deal” with the Russian film agency Sovexportfilm to distribute the slick thriller in the United States and Canada later this year. He's impressed by the fact that thousands of Muscovites flocked to see this film when it was released last summer and thinks the same will happen here. “Whether people go to see it to laugh at it, to yell at it or get angry, they'll go see it,” says Perry. “We're not going for the action crowd, there probably isn’t enough blood and guts for them. “We figure this will draw out the curious — people who will enjoy the sensitivity (of the hero). He thinks things out. He doesn't kill without rhyme or reason.” In fact, the moustached Nozhkin, who cuts a dashing figure in his black beret, does manage to look thoughtful and sensitive even when he’s slashing, blowing up, machine-gun. ning and strangling the enemy. His particularly Russian brand of violence — pretty tame stuff when compared with what's playing at your local theatre — may fail to excite jaded western audiences. But Solo Voyage is being touted as a cinematic break RED MOUNTAIN RACERS World Cup — Trips to Reno Bi NGO — Cash Prizes March 2,9, 16823 = sssiytiet Champion Bingo Uc.

Until Mikhail Gorbachev came along, it was a criminal offence punishable by two years’ imprisonment to make a movie that depicted graphic scenes of violence. Solo Voyage is the first Soviet action film made since that law was rescinded. Politically, it’s being billed as Moscow's answer to the anti-Russian hysteria whipped up by Reagan-era Hollywood — the Rambo films, Red Dawn and the TV mini-series Amerika, which showed how grim life might become in a Soviet-occupied United States. Solo Voyage’s simplistic plot fits nicely into official Soviet thinking. Right-wing American politicians, including an Alexander Haig lookalike, decide it’s time to scuttle detente because it's cutting into arms-industry profits. AGENT DERANGED The politicians enlist a deranged CIA agent — he has been kept under wraps ever since he committed unspeak able acts in Vietnam — to blow up a U.S. passenger ship and blame the Russians. But the missile goes off course and hits a sailboat carrying a young all-American couple. The wife is killed and her husband takes revenge by joining Nozhkin in tracking down the-renegade CIA agent, by now out of control and trying to take over a U.S. nuclear base to attack the Russians Perry says the actors playing the Americans all spoke their lines in perfect English, so a good chunk of the film, shot in Cuba, Czechoslovakia and Moscow, did not have to be dubbed.
