...conceal his disgust for his lifeless hackwork. He crams his screenplay with adventure-movie cliches, but he doesn't poke fun at them; he piles them on as if to show how much he can get away with. Movies like this aren't very entertaining if they're not stylish or suspenseful; Crichton's stupid, stilted dialogue precludes style; the Mission: Impossible predictability, sluggish editing, and surprising number of loose ends strangle suspense. Characters inexplicably appear and disappear--dragged in when convenient and cruelly discarded two minutes later--and the lapses in logic suggest the film was mauled...
...loyal Islander fans call them, have combined for 91 goals and 121 assists-a remarkable 212 total points-in just 47 games. Trottier, a relentless playmaker who has scored 34 goals and shoved the puck to teammates for another 45 points in assists, is battling Montreal's stylish Guy Lafleur for the scoring lead. Bossy, a pure shooter with lightning hands, leads the league in goals with 38. Hovering in the background (19 goals and 45 assists) is Gillies, and at 6 ft., 3 in., 224 lbs., he looms large indeed to harried defenders. Gillies comes up with...
...particular skip tracer of this film is one John Collins, Vancouver's finest, Man of the Year for his firm three years running, and probably the coldest, most calculating lead character of the year.

He'll follow you around town, visit you at work, call you on the phone. Not that he doesn't have his own standards--pay up and it's all buddy...
...some of its canonical late buildings, notably his own glass house on his estate at New Canaan (1959) and, with Mies, Manhattan's Seagram Building (1958), which survives as the virtual Parthenon of glass-grid architecture. But unlike some other men of his generation, Johnson kept his restless, stylish sense of incongruity and his loathing of repetition. He is the Balanchine of architecture. His range is wide, running from the Renaissance monumentalism of the A T & T building to the airy glass cathedral now in progress for a California hot-gospeller, Robert Schuller...
...furniture, marginally stylish when new, shows the wear of a decade and the impact of two lively kids. A Kiss album has been left abandoned on a sofa that Elton John wouldn't allow in the servants' quarters. A silver-blue Mercedes-Benz is parked in the concrete driveway, but automotive ostentation is endemic to Los Angeles, even to such a comparatively modest suburb as Woodland Hills...
