...assault on the weather. Or maybe it is the controlled craziness of the events. On surfaces difficult enough to walk on upright do these people race, leap, whirl, swerve, and then add an extra unnatural measure of defiance by going airborne. Fanatics. Only a spill proves them mortal. So reckless is their attitude that, watching them, one barely believes in the danger. Then someone's momentum is shattered, and a kid lies piled up in his skis like a broken bird. Silence replaces wonder...
...quite matched by his supporting cast. As Annie (a role Meryl Streep declined), Close, in maroon hair and Anthea Sylbert's rummage-sale wardrobe, has the reckless high spirits of an aging cheerleader when she should be the anchor to Henry's fervor. Like the rest of the cast except for the deft, sexy Gallagher, Close serves the script honorably rather than meeting it eye to eye.

Even sooner, viewers can sample a fine, tough, sexy new movie called Reckless, with tunes by Romeo Void and Bob Seeger; a fake documentary called This Is Spinal Tap, directed by Rob Reiner, which chronicles with legitimate hilarity the American tour of the world's loudest and stupidest heavy-metal band; and Footloose, a kind of contemporary rock fable about a young...
Like Elway in Denver, Plunkett was thrown instantly into the fire with the New England Patriots, but it was slow burning. "I'd have gone crazy if I didn't play right off," he says, "and it went well the first year. I quarterbacked with reckless abandon, ran a lot, scrambled around, threw on the run. But we just didn't get any better as a club. The second year was miserable. I had never been on a losing team in my life, or experienced such negativism all around me." In the dreary seasons following, Plunkett suffered...
