critics awards Los Angeles Times HOLLYWOOD Martin Scorsese's GoodFellas won five awards, including best picture and best director, at Saturday's year-end voting by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. The mob drama, adapted from Nicholas Pileggi's non-fiction bestseller about career New York gangsters, also won supporting actor awards for Joe Pesci and Lorraine Bracco. GoodFellas' fifth award went to cinematographer Michael Balhaus. Kevin Costner's Dances With Wolves, considered by many in Hollywood to be the frontrunner in this year's Oscar race, won no awards but placed second to GoodFellas in the director and best-picture categories. Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather, Part III, the year's most wi-dely-anticipated movie, and Havana, Sydney Pollack's first film since his Academy Award sweep with Out of Africa, were neither winners nor runners-up in any category.

The Los Angeles Film Critics Association a group comprised of local newspaper, magazine and radio movie reviewers named Jeremy Irons best actor for his performance as Claus von Bulow in Reversal of Fortune, while Anjelica Huston won the best actress award for her sinister roles as a con artist in The Grifters and the head of a child-hating coven in Witches. Reversal of Fortune also won for Nicholas Kazan's screenplay, making it the only other multiple winner. Among other winners, Ryuichi Sakamoto won for his musical score to Bernardo Bertolucci's The Sheltering Sky, Bertrand Tavernier's Life and Nothing But won as best foreign film and Czech director Dusan Hammak's Pictures of the Old World tied for best documentary with Jenny Livingston and Barry Swimer's Paris Is Burning. 0 lllli' By JOHN MACKIE This has been Stanley Kirk Bur-rell's year. He's sold millions of records, had a huge concert tour, signed sponsorship deals worth several million smackers with corporations like Pepsi and Kentucky Fried Chicken, and took rap music directly into the mainstream of North American pop culture.

And Saturday night, Stanley Kirk Burrell stage name, M.C. Hammer showed 15,000 Vancouver rap fans just how he did it with an all-dancing, some rapping and singing extravaganza at the Pacific Coliseum. Hammer Time proved to be 90 minutes of good old-fashioned entertainment, energetic, funny and visually dazzling. The dazzling visuals started the minute Hammer hit the stage to Also Sprach Zarathustra, (the theme from 2001, A Space Odyssey). Bathed in blue light, he gazed over the Coliseum like a king surveying his domain.

There was a big ka-boom of explosives, and then it was dance time. And what an awesome spectacle that was. A couple of dozen dancers, singers and musicians moving and grooving like hot-footed lunatics, arranged on different tiers so that they looked like a lost civilization of dancing fools, a real rhythm nation, that some intrepid explorer has stumbled upon in an old Hollywood epic. Everybody pumping and jumping, but nobody quite matching the manic energy w. i A Mm RHYTHM NATION: M.C.

15 of the dude in the baggy genie pants, M.C. Hammer. Hammer acts like he's a human power generator, buzzing with an electric energy that makes other performers seem like slugs. And if his rhyming and singing abilities aren't exactly awe-inspiring (his genius is in mix-and-matching old soul styles with rap and funk), there is no doubt he's a truly amaz-ing dancer when he's in full flight, he seems to hop, skip and jump on air. He had his ultra-groovy sparkling silver jacket off by the middle of the first song, then got down with his "posse" for his monster hits.

Pray, Have You Seen Her and Can't Touch This. While he failed to say just what it is you can't touch, he did go out of his way to interact with the crowd, urging one and all to make a peace sign in the air "for the children" and sweet-talking the females in the audience can see some lovely ladies out there I need a lovely lady I want to find one who'll love me just for Of course, the crowd 60-40 girls to boys and largely in the 12 to 16 range, with a smattering as young as eight and as old as 20 ate it up. He's a real smoothie, old Hammer, somebody that could sell you the Lions Gate Bridge if he set his mind to it. But boy, would you good while he was doing it i .1 LOOK WHO'S TALKING TOO Starring John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, Bruce Willie, Roseanne Barr Capitol, Richport, Station Square, Eagle Ridge, Willowbrook. Mature.

Yes, it's as pathetic as it Roseanne Barr supplies the voice of Julie and, as is her wont, lakes advantage of the situation to dazzle the audience with her usual stutt-ning vocabulary. If there's anything to be gratefUl for in this movie, iff that they don't let her onscreen. What is onscreen, however, ls'4 bunch of burned-out, overworked, small-screen stars who have all (with the possible exception of Travolta) been involved in so many projects over the past year they visibly havj little time for this one. Judging by Willis' unsynched-, lacklustre delivery, for example, no evidently cut his lines in about 1 hours which is probably a prcttjt accurate guess, considering the Umt! he reportedly spent shooting Thij Bonfire of the Vanities, set for release within a week of this film and with a much bigger budget. Speaking of budget, where's that $300 million gross pulled in by Look Who's Talking? ITlhe slapdash quaU ity of this outing is any indication, a total of about $13 was reinvested tQ cash in on the Christmas market.

I Chunk Nnllrto lor IrwnUnna nnri tthowtlmmt J2Z CmatvuQ By GREG POTTER God bless the little children. But please, Lord, cast these washed-up sitcom hacks into the flaming abyss where they belong. If not for the sweet, cherubic countenances of the wee tikes innocently gagaing amid the unscrupulous exploitation and bald-faced money-grubbing of Look Who's Talking Too, this 81-minute testimony to the dispicably twisted motives of Hollywood sequel mongers would be even more insufferable. The acting stinks, the production standards are non-existent and the plotline is cut from the same material from which Madonna fashions her brassiere. No, not tantalizing, just plain flimsy.

Literally opening up with a nauseating inner-womb scene that looks like cotton candy photographed in a fish tank, the Him lurches into the birth of little Julie, sister to the original flick's Mikey. Mikey, as you undoubtedly recall, possesses the cocksure voice-over of Bruce Willis offering lengthy dissertations on toilet training. Thus, we get daddy James (John Travolta) and mommy Mollie (Kirstie Alley) dancing about with toilet seats on their heads whilst singing Potty Doll, Potty All the Time and Fight For Your Right to Potty.
