...captured his first two Oscars in 1996 in cooperation with Alan Menken for their work on "Pocahontas" (1995). He took away two more on his own this year for "The Prince of Egypt" (1998). He recently released a CD entitled Reluctant Pilgrim, featuring 11 new songs Schwartz composed and sung himself...
...Science Center. Publicity has been quite a point of contention for the show. Although now the campus is inundated with the slick, black, official posters for the show, the previous weeks' many teasers took on the Stations of the Cross, Harvard-style, making anyone walking around campus an unwitting pilgrim on a very postmodern Via Dolorosa.

A sort of Everyman for a sexually liberated age, Eyes Wide Shut features Tom Cruise, a sex symbol himself, as its wandering pilgrim. And the overwhelming tone of the film is certainly one of wandering. Progressing from one self-contained vignette to another, the movie moves from a theme and variations motif to an outright symphony as Cruise desperately tries to come to terms with his wife's admission of near infidelity...
