smart movie. A kind of gender-switch take onThe Lost Weekend, it's about a woman (Meg Ryan) whose alcoholism almost destroys her family. That may sound like just another TV movie, butWhen a Man Loves a Womanis so authentic in detail and emotion, that everything about it seems fresh, urgent, and engrossing. That's because the film is grounded in the actual experience of co-writer Al Franken (assisted byRain Manscripter Ronald Bass). Franken is best known for his affiliation withSaturday Night LiveandPolitically Incorrect, and as the author ofRush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot, and Other Observations. You may recall that Franken is the creator of Stuart Smalley, 12-step programmer extraordinaire. Well, if you want to know how Stuart was born, you can start here. This is no comedy, however. In fact, one of the most painful realisations comes when attractive, "good-time girl" Alice Green (Ryan) and her husband (Andy Garcia) begin to realise how much of a role alcohol played in their marriage and in bringing them together in the first place. The issues and experiences confronted in this movie go far beyond the stuff you see on daytime TV.--Jim Emerson

Advantages: Nice guest rappers like Ghostface and Raekwon turn up at AFTERPARTY and THE TURN respectively. Disadvantages: The lyrics from Method man are disgusting and the musical production is revolting! SAY WHAT?

INTRODUCTION
Two years ago on Ciao.co.uk, I informed that Cappadonna is a Hip Hop artist who is native to Staten Island, a New York City suburb in the USA. I also mentioned in my music review of The Yin And The Yang album that Cappadonna had numerous collaborations with Wu-Tang Clan lyricists on various classic records.

CD1
1. "You're gonna miss me" - Turntable Orchestra (original mix)
Classic "italian house" piano, and a great baseline
2. "Love will find a way" - Victor Romeo feat. Latrice Brown
Nothing special about this one really, a bit of a filler really...
3. "See the day" - Ann Consuelo (Stonebridge mix)
What a vocal ! And more italian piano.
4. "Aftershock" - Slave to the Vibe (12" club mix)
Maybe it's this extended 12" mix (that Hed Handi is all about), but I remember this track being much better...
5. "Push the feeling on...
