...emerge yet this year. Slicker and less disturbingly gritty than "Chinatown," but more bang-out entertaining, it's boosted by a a superlative cast--the crown jewel of which is a trio of masterful performances by Kevin Spacey and Aussie newcomers Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce (particularly the latter) as the unlikely LAPD allies who attempt to disinter the sordid, convoluted truth behind an apparently cut-and-dried murder case...
...much-needed high-profile visibility to the tragic modern history of Tibet--but opts for glossy formulaic packaging over genuine emotional resonance. Each turn of the plot feels Hollywood-scripted to the max, even the central relationship between Brad Pitt's Austrian mountaineer and the young Dalai Lama.

McLachlan closed with hit "Sweet Surrender," and then returned to play the quirky, yet endearing song, "Ice Cream." For the latter, the band's drummer--who is also her husband--joined her at the front of the stage with two small drums. Unlike during this summer's Lillith Fair, McLachlan did not break the hearts of her male fans by revealing their true relationship...
