...bard goes ballistic in Baz Luhrmann's churning, MTV-ish take on the classic love-and-death story. Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, respectively 21 and 16 when they filmed it in 1996, bring youth's melancholy fever to the fable. Luhrmann might be chided for pandering to the youth market, but forget that. His fireworks and camerabatics are an apt and bracing visual equivalent to Shakespeare's swooning iambic pentameter...
...Dani California” Dir. Tony Kaye In their latest video, “Dani California,” the Red Hot Chili Peppers play rock and roll dress-up, mimicking famous televised performances, from Elvis Presley’s early network appearances to Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged session, reaching a climax when the band appears as—surprise!—themselves.

"His comedy doesn't come from a place of anger," says Michaels. "He's got a kind of sweetness...
Actually, $15,000 is a lowball estimate, since that would barely cover the event-space rental tab for the kind of lavish spectacles that have become prime-time fare on MTV's highly rated My Super Sweet 16. The show documents the excesses of privileged youths commemorating the mighty achievement of making it through their 16th year. Shell-shocked parents--always uttering the mantra "It was worth it"--typically peel off checks for upwards of $200,000. We learn that from the Sun Belt to Erie, Pa., the lack of taste knows no ethnic, religious or cultural bounds. You give...
