...bound to captivate, as they did in Romeo + Juliet. If Luhrman has learned anything since then, it's that he can't treat romance glibly, but he's still relying on pop-culture icons to underscore his narratives. How a 19th century costume drama has a soundtrack featuring Lil' Kim and Pink boggles the mind. Just looking to the opening sequence (they're usually spectacular) and the promise of Kidman doing the can-can will ensure great box office receipts. It may be, as the trailers say, "A Story About Love", but it's also about Ewan MacGregor singing. Badly...
...Ruff Ryders include DMX, a guy whose musical canon features What These B______ Want and other numbers that will never be chosen as theme songs for Oprah. ("DMX is one of my best friends," Eve says. "That's like my dog for life!") Hard-core female rappers--Foxy Brown, Lil' Kim--compete with male rappers by using sex as a weapon. Eve has found a balance: she's tough enough to run with the big dogs and sensitive enough to hug a small one.

DIED. GEORGE MONTGOMERY, 84, film and TV actor known for cowboy roles in westerns such as The Cisco Kid and the Lady and Dakota Lil; of heart failure; in Rancho Mirage, Calif. Married for 19 years to Dinah Shore, Montgomery appeared in more than 85 films...
...less melodic. It has two good tracks: No Matter What They Say, which deftly samples guitarist Jose Feliciano, and the mournful Hold On, a tribute to the late rapper Notorious B.I.G. that features singer Mary J. Blige. As for the rest, the music is raucous without being forceful, and Lil' Kim's lyrics are graphic without being erotic. Instead of feeling the rapper's persona come through, one feels the grip of her many producers. Kim may be lil', but she's bigger than this...
