“Beastie Boys.” CBS/Fox. $19.98. On the “Licensed to Ill” album, the Beasties gave parents nightmares with their sex-and-drug-accented tales of bratty teen-age behavior. In this remarkably
imaginative 38-minute collection of concert footage, MTV-type promo videos and candid-styled home movies, the Beasties ease those concerns as they show a much more good-natured side--until a
disturbing (even if staged) “La Dolce Vita”-ish backstage party sequence at the end that will surely renew those fears. Highlights include a hilarious send-up of heavy-metal cliches and a
great sense of comic mugging throughout. Coming across better on film than on stage, the Boys are more adorable than the Monkees and more fun than David Lee Roth. Information: (212)
