...club, the film is highly stylized and polished. It contains the requisite shots of Ben staring in wonder out the window of a limousine at the gleaming Las Vegas landscape—an unimaginative sequence that’s been repeated in countless other films. But it also features slick camera work that displays the blackjack game from Ben’s point of view and illustrates the nuances of the game to the uninitiated. The gaudy, dark casinos and dance clubs contrast with the bright, cozy images of Ben’s college life. The clash between these...
...Club in Georgia is different: being in Southern Baptist country, it gives golfers the benefit of the doubt. Its wide, generous fairways mean the outcome is rarely predestined from the tee. What matters is the endgame - the approach shot and, most crucially, the chips and putts on its devilishly slick greens. This is not to say that Augusta doesn't provide a stern test of a golfer's resolve - a particularly demanding three-hole stretch is known as Amen Corner - it's just that this test is predicated on the principle that a person should have multiple opportunities for redemption...

Showgirl, a slick $10 million production, replaces Cline Dion's elephantine extravaganza with the unique Midler mix: sass, heart and a show-biz salesmanship that's been irresistible since her early days as an icon for gay men only. "Thirty years ago, my audiences were on drugs," she says. "Now they...
...catchy melodies over a light dance beat. With the combined efforts of no fewer than five producers, this track hides Jackson’s voice almost as effectively as “Feedback.” It’s a generic, assembly-line song defined only by its slick production, which happens to be good enough to salvage the song as an inoffensive, disposable dance single. After a few more clubby songs, ninth track “Can’t B Good” represents a return to the familiar light pop of Jackson’s earlier...
