Nov 15th  
Sister Act**       

(US 1992)                                

A Las Vegas nightclub singer witnesses a mob murder and takes refuge and spruces up a San Francisco convent choir.
Entertaining if a little predictable comedy of opposites, playing on familiar stereotypes, with some nifty if trashy numbers, and just occasionally a hint of an edge, with performances and direction holding the attention pretty well.

Director: Emile Ardolino.
Starring: Whoopi Goldberg, Maggie Smith, Harvey Keitel, Bill Nunn, Kathy Najimy, Mary Wickes, Wendy Makkena, Joseph Maher.
