...Sparkling performances are given by James Mangwi '00 as the disapproving, moralizing brother of the Duke, and Stian Westlake (GSAS) as Hippolito, who delivers his lines with suitably lovelorn anguish (and has the crazy hair to match his moods). Hood's performance as Leantio is also quite compelling, and does well in engendering the audience's sympathy, as does the idiotic ward, Bill Maskiell '02, who induces a different kind of sympathy altogether...
...Cavaliers in 1964, Last Kiss is on the compilation album No Boundaries: A Benefit for the Kosovar Refugees. Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder decided to cover the tune after finding a 45 of it in an antiques store. It's a spare, morose song with Vedder's voice warbling lovelorn over a straight-ahead drum beat.

...McLachlan's earlier albums, and were recorded live on her spring solo tour. Some of the songs--like the love-racked Path of Thorns, from her 1991 CD, Solace--acquire a spacious, cathedral-like grandeur when performed live with her solo piano.

As Four Weddings director Mike Newell puts it, "Everyone wants Hugh to be the charming, beautiful, bumbling guy they know from...
...message of this movie is very simple: Fool around with the lovelorn undead--the featured creature was mummified alive some 3,000 years ago for unwisely lusting after the Pharaoh's mistress--and you will unleash a nonstop barrage of special effects. That would be O.K. if The Mummy's computer whizzes had generated something fresh, but it's pretty much shape-shifting and meteorological anomalies as usual. These batter into senselessness the wan efforts, led by Brendan Fraser as the chief tomb robber, to impart a sort of cheeky, Indiana Jonesish air to this hopelessly overwrought and deeply dopey...
