Just Married, like most films of its genre, begins by touching on cliched yet interesting social issues, only to resolve them as quickly and sloppily as Trent Lott fleeing a Jay-Z concert. Writer Sam Harper, who also penned the similarly-lame kiddie flick Rookie of the Year, embroils his characters in a classist struggle that pits Sarah’s crusty upbringing against Tom’s small-time bachelor-pad existence. Love, however, conquers all, as it usually does in the hearts of Beverly Hills society girls raised to believe that “marriage is an investment...
...tried using plastic corks, but they don't always form a perfect seal and can impart their own flavor. So this year, many wineries are switching to screw tops--the same technology you find when opening a Colt 45. California's Bonny Doon, whose $130 Cabernet opens with a flick of the wrist, threw a funeral for the cork in New York City in October. The cork industry is fighting back with a p.r. campaign, but that won't stop vintners like New Zealand's Kim Crawford, whose bottles are all being switched to screw tops by next year. "There...
...Rings, always with Walsh at his side. Though they have never married, they share two children (Kate, 6, and Billy, 7) and a rambling old house overlooking the bay in Wellington. They met at a screening of Jackson's first movie, 1987's Bad Taste, a gross-out horror flick about human-eating space aliens. What in the world did Walsh see in the young filmmaker?

...Watch. Each watch contains 277 parts, and only 277 watches were made. Prada teamed up with IWC to produce 2,000 of the $4,400 GST Chrono-Automatic. Swiss horologists Omega brought out 10,007 of the $1,900 James Bond 007 to coincide with the latest Bond flick. And Zenith reintroduced their Grande Class Star line, making only 500, at $13,492 apiece. Rarer still is the $420,000 Genghis Khan by Ulysse Nardin: only 30 have ever been made. But don't get your hopes up - just four are produced every year, and there's a four-year...
