...This may be a poor metaphor - a touch on the heavy-handed side - but I think it evokes the sheer strangeness of watching Being John Malkovich, perhaps the oddest romp of a movie I have ever seen. It is a comedy about getting inside other people's heads, and it has the kick of a head trip, which is a clich even though the film is not. This film will polarize people. There will be many people who will hate this film as much as they have ever hated anything, who will break off relationships with dates who dare...

Too mature to continue dabbling in teen flicks but still too young and cherubic to be taken seriously in adult fare, Campbell has shifted into that rare phase of an acting career in which she doesn't quite seem to fit in anywhere.

...poor calls and errors aside, I return to my father's advice not to place my life's happiness in the hands of the Red Sox. I've learned that lesson; this year I placed only my temporary happiness in their hands. And while I'm tired from staying up late night after night and cheering myself hoarse from the grandstand, while I'm sad that the hated Yankees are in the World Series yet again, I have to say that the Sox delivered for me.

...they prepare for a series of debates that will test the Democratic party?s stomach for liberalism, Al Gore and Bill Bradley are carving out their platforms. A week after Bradley one-upped Gore's plan to insure poor children by proposing $65 billion to provide health insurance to every American, the two presidential contenders squared off on child poverty. Gore, moving so close to the center he could easily high-five George W., published a proposal on Tuesday that focuses on strengthening families, mostly by attacking deadbeat dads.
