...particularly disappointing that European governments have taken this "business-as-usual" stance now. The current world oil glut has created a buyers' market in which plenty of oil producing nations would be eager to take away Libya's European market share. And all Western economies have cultivated diverse supply sources and improved conservation measures, making them even less dependent on imported crude. True, some European nations have strong economic ties to Libya that go beyond the realm of the petroleum industry; fully breaking these ties would cause considerable economic dislocation. But the price is worth paying to undermine Khadafy, especially...
...japery like this, but Co-Writer Aykroyd has again neglected to give himself a character to play. So this Road to Armageddon plays more like Crosby and Hopeless. Director John Landis achieves a brisk and funny basic- training sequence, then follows the plot into political irresponsibility. After Hollywood's glut of lame-brained right-wing movies, viewers may welcome a comedy that portrays American military intelligence as a contradiction in terms.

Light is trapped in the dense paint, and Thiebaud extracts a lavish, slightly mocking sensuality from the pun between the depicted work of the cake icer--smearing those layers of sweet goo, drawing arabesques with the forcing...
Being a pseudonym and all, Dewitt has no scruples about admitting his fervent love for the teen sex flick (TSF). Sex is better than violence, of course, and the glut of films featuring pasty-faced male adolescents getting their weenies in an uproar over outrageously mature-looking 15-year-old femmes fatales has left Dewitt standing in line with any number of pre-pubescent townies to slap down a fiver for this particular pleasure...
