CIRCUS, 7/31/88 --------------- MOVIE VIDEOS by Daina Darzin p.28 Less Than Zero (CBS/Fox) Brest Easton Ellis' brilliant book about L.A.'s decadent, lost rich kids becomes a maudin anti-drug story by the end of this disappointing film version. However, the movie's flashy cinematography and great rock soundtrack (including Aerosmith, Poison, Joan Jett and Slayer's terrific cover of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida") keep things interesting for the first hour or so. Robert Downey, Jr. turns in a memorable performance as an increasingly desperate cocaine addict.
