...however, because the whole movie is so intoxicated by its own style that its verve and kinetic energy become utterly infectious-each gunshot is like a jolt of adrenaline. The special-effects laden spectacle of Spy Kids, on the other hand, cannot fall back on the natural buzz of stylish violence (and those who think it doesn't exist should become better acquainted with the work of Sam Peckinpah and John Woo) and appears that much more clunky as a result. Trying to strike that elusive storytelling pitch that appeals to both children and adults, Rodriguez's writing becomes more...
...final question is this: Is the simple life just a passing fancy, a stylish flashback of the 1960s? Not so, say people who have studied both eras. Contends Berkeley sociologist Robert Bellah: ''It's no longer messianic, the way it was in the '60s, but relatively pragmatic. That may give the present mood a greater staying power.'' That's good, because the American generation now reaching middle age has a lot of promises to keep - not to mention mortgages to carry, tuition to pay and lawns to mow.

On the runways of Milan and Paris last month capes, fur hats and over-the-knee boots were the accent items that will separate the serious fashion devotee from the merely stylish.

For the last few years, the mode in denim was dark - so dark that fashionistas were having their jeans dry-cleaned, lest they fade. But no more. Distressed denim is now the stylish option. So get out your oldest pair, chop off the hems, pin up the holes and throw on a thousand-dollar coat. Violà! The newest in street chic...
Most important, Rex works. Unlike the Vista, which gives gadgetry a bad name, Rex made even a techno-skeptic like me a little weak in the knees. It's impeccably stylish, right down to its cobalt blue docking station and purple cable connector, and at $150 to $190 (depending on the type of PC connection you choose), it's cheaper than most full-size handhelds. It's custom-made for notebook users who can slide it into a PC card slot for updates. True, it doesn't offer all the expansion options of the bigger handhelds, such as games...
