...players to try to make us laugh. The funnier (the superlative is not appropriate) scenes involve Hank Azaria as Abraham, who attempts a group circumcision on Zed, Oh and his son Isaac (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). "Trust me," he tells them. "It's going to be a very sleek look." Abraham is down on Sodom, as you can imagine, but that's where Zed and Oh are bound (there's a subplot revolving around rescuing the women they love from slavery). They meet up - again - with Cain (he's a running joke, but in Cross's cheerfully detestable hands...
...sleek, modern design of the Hotel Rival's lobby gives way upstairs to vibrant carpeting and dramatic lighting celebrating the building's cinematic origins and its continuing function, the 700-seater auditorium having been beautifully restored as a venue for film festivals and conferences. The thickly carpeted guest rooms are meanwhile individually designed with impeccable Swedish taste.

It's as if a fleet of dazzling white ships had sailed in from the Mediterranean and kept right on going before dropping anchor along Tel Aviv's leafy boulevards...
...shiniest building in the world, a young auto mechanic named Morris Weinberg opened a repair shop on busy Brooklyn Avenue in Kansas City, Mo. As he modestly prospered, fixing and selling used cars, Weinberg dreamed that his son would enter the auto business. Not used cars, though - new cars. Sleek and powerful cars, like the ones built by Walter Chrysler's company. And that's how Steve Weinberg, with his father's savings to stake him, came to open a Dodge dealership in Grandview...
