...sweetness that comes out in Coldplay's songs is at the root of both its appeal and its limitations. The sugary pickup lines ("In a haze, a stormy haze/I'll be around, I'll be loving you always") and delicate music might appeal to fans of old-fashioned pop balladry but not to many edgier listeners.

A Beijing arm of the outlawed spiritual group Falun Gong strongly suggested the protesters, one of whom died, were devotees. "We heeded a call from our master to strengthen our fight against evil," said a member of the group based in the Chinese capital. Yet hours later, Falun Gong's New York head office distanced itself from the act: "This so-called suicide attempt on Tiananmen Square has nothing to do with Falun Gong practitioners because the teachings of Falun Gong prohibit any form...

...describe Finding Forrester, a film deathly afraid of being overly cerebral in word or action.
