...movie people, you're a bunch of spoiled brats!" yells a man whose car has just been rammed by a star's convertible. Yes, we nod in agreement, and they're phony too, and beneath the glamour not very happy. Tales from the Hollywood Hills, a trio of short-story adaptations set in Tinseltown during the 1930s, trots out all the beloved stereotypes while flavorfully recapturing Hollywood's legendary golden age.

...absence of a professional circuit in Communist countries means that the best players in the nation compete in the Olympics, a luxury not available to the Americans and Canadians. Thus it was truly remarkable in 1980 when a bunch of rag-tag collegians thumped the Russian National Team, which routinely beat the NHL All-Stars...
