...made for just such occasions. This 14-track album combines some of Eric Clapton's best from the past two decades, including the acoustic-strummers "Change the World," "Tears in Heaven," "My Father's Eyes" and "Layla" and throws in two more soundtrack tunes, "Blue Eyes Blue" (Runaway Bride) and "Get Lost" (The Story of Us). Yet, surprisingly, nothing from From the Cradle, Clapton's 1994 hit blues cover album is included. Instead, the collection showcases Clapton's original compositions, reaffirming his signature music and creative genius in this collection...
Although for the moment, MIT is the bride of choice in this academic-industrial marriage, Microsoft hints that it may find other academic partners in the future. The trade school down the river simply won the honor of being first...

Julia Roberts as Maggie Carpenter is everything a man can fear in a woman: pretty and sweet but a heartbreaker...
...Here's a Hollywood rule of thumb--when you have more than two screenwriters, the movie will either be a) incoherent b) choppy or c) spotty. Sometimes, in particularly lame cases, the movie will be incoherent, choppy and spotty. Like Runaway Bride. Not only wasn't it as good as Pretty Woman, it rivaled The Haunting for the I-want-my-money-back award of the summer. Even five screenwriters couldn't come up with a decent joke--the only good gag was so contrived that a FedEx truck had to appear out of nowhere for the damn thing...
