`BIODOME' IS A REAL STINKER

Sometimes a movie is so crummy a thesaurus just isn't enough - you want to invent new words for ``rotten.''

``Biodome,'' featuring Pauly Shore, is such a movie. He and Stephen Baldwin are a pair of waste cases who wander into an environmentally controlled atmosphere and have to live there for a year with five scientists.

You pretty much know what you'll get with a Shore effort, but just in case you don't, here's a partial list of the wackiness to be found in ``Biodumb'':

Baldwin chewing Shore's toenails, two scenes of flatulence analysis, a lame ``JFK'' parody ripped off from ``Seinfeld,'' simulated sex with a carrot, exploding bunnies, Roger Clinton and a tree-huggingly inspirational message.

Jim Carrey has shown that dumb can be funny, but ``Biodome'' is merely dumb. Still, let's give the drivel its due - in film after film, Shore has shown he's better at doing ``annoying'' than anyone. He must be stopped.

Biodome BOMB
