 Filmtracks: Addicted to Love (Rachel Portman)
Addicted to Love : (Rachel Portman) The magical Portman touch enchants another great romantic comedy score!
Addicted to Love is just as effective, incorporating much of the same type of style.

 All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Addicted to Love
ADDICTED TO LOVE is a fresh and surprisingly good, romantic comedy by actor Griffin Dunne in his first time as a director of a feature length film.
ADDICTED TO LOVE is a sweet show, even in its blackest moments.
Ryan, who is one of the most talented actresses working today, is probably most enjoyable in her funny parts, but, to be honest, it is in her serious roles as in COURAGE UNDER FIRE and, one of my personal favorites, WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN that her greatness shows best.

 Addicted to Love (1997)
Amiable, if predictable, comedy gives sunny Meg Ryan a chance to have a little more shading and edge than usual, and she works well with Broderick; but the second-half of the movie scatters around trying to come up with an ending.
Astromer Matthew Broderick sets out to spy on his ex-girlfriend and her new man, but when the man's jilted fiancée comes into the picture, the two of them conspire to bust up the budding romance.
The finale is cute, like the rest, but some of the wind has already gone out of the picture's sails.

 Salon.com Arts & Entertainment "Kate & Leopold"
That's not to say that Ryan has never been good in a romantic comedy: At times, as in Griffin Dunne's 1997 "Addicted to Love" and Lawrence Kasdan's 1995 "French Kiss," she's been able to corral her tireless perkiness and throw it off in genuine neurotic sparks.
But even though Ryan has made her reputation as a romantic-comedy actress, she simply isn't a yielding enough partner to make the chemistry crackle.
Hugh Jackman, sexy and unflappable, is the highlight of this time-travel romance with Meg Ryan.

Of course, this budding romance came to an abrupt end when Marty died tragically on Mount Everest while, again, on expedition with Jim...

 Respectful of Otters
Although I suppose that "we're addicted to love!!!" makes a much better headline, from both a sensationalistic and a public-responsibility point of view, than "snorting cocaine will make you feel like you're in love!!!"...which is equally true, from a scientific standpoint.
The Economist has more details about the neurochemistry of love, although you have to read through quite a lot about the romantic lives of voles before you get to the human parts.
But seriously, what they're saying is that romantic love activates the dopamine reward system, the major source of pleasurable and euphoric feelings in the brain.

The premise is gimmicky, but that doesn't necessarily mean it couldn't work: Ryan plays Kate, an assertive, by-the-books market-research executive who has recently broken up with her scientist boyfriend, Stuart (Liev Schreiber), who lives in her apartment building.

 Gene Simmons Sued - Jan 10, 2005 - E! Online News
A woman claiming to be the KISS demon's ex-girlfriend before he became famous is suing Simmons, alleging he slandered her as a "sex-addicted nymphomaniac" in a VH1 program about the band.
According to court papers, the 53-year-old Chester, New York, native claimed to have been in an "exclusive, monogamous, romantic relationship" with Simmons for three years when she was a 21-year-old college student and he was living with his mother in Queens--before he shot to fame as the blood-spitting monster-faced member of KISS.

 HSX : Movies : Market : StarBonds® : Matthew Broderick
Broderick has since appeared in a variety of films, including 1997's off-beat romantic comedy Addicted to Love, as well as 1998's over-blown summer blockbuster, Godzilla.
Although Matthew Broderick will forever be remembered as the hooky-playing charmer in the title role of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, his greatest acting accomplishments have been on-stage.
Broderick played an ironic role in 1999-- as an up-tight civics teacher -- in the high school dark comedy, Election.

 Keightley's Fairy Mythology - Brittany
To poetry and music, indeed, the whole Celto-Cymric race seem to have been strongly addicted; and, independently of the materials which Brittany may have supplied for the history of Geoffrey of Monmouth, many other true or romantic adventures were narrated by the Breton poets in their Lais.
Several of these Lais were translated into French verse in the thirteenth century by a poetess named Marie de France, resident at the court of the English monarchs of the house of Plantagenet, to one of whom, probably Henry the Third, her Lais are dedicated.
The hero of that Lai differs not in point of power from these ladies, and as he is a real man, with the power of assuming at will the shape of a bird, so it is likely they were real women, and that it was in the bird-shape they entered the chambers of their lovers.

 Eric Clapton @ Soundbug
In addition to a (temporarily) unrequited intensive romantic longing for Pattie Boyd-Harrison, he had become addicted to heroin, which resulted in a career hiatus interrupted only by the Concert for Bangladesh and the "Rainbow Concert" in 1973, organised by The Who's Pete Townshend to help Clapton kick the drug.
His relationship with Pattie was his inspiration for the classic song, "Layla".
The friendship between the two, which had resulted in Clapton playing on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" from The Beatles' White Album (a tactic by Harrison to make the other band members take his song seriously) was later sorely tested when Harrison's wife, Pattie Boyd-Harrison, left him for Clapton.

 - December 2001 - Bouncing Souls - 11/21/01 - Washington DC
During their performance, the Bouncing Souls provided a good mix of old and new when they played “Say Anything,” from their 1997 self-titled album, “Quick Check Girl,” “The Ballad of Johnny X” and “Argyle,” from Maniacal Laughter (1995), and “Hopeless Romantic,” from the album bearing the same name, released in 1999.
Not the smelly toilet stall, heroin addicted punk rock, but the punk rock which is a celebration of youth and individuality.” In other words, they play music because they want to, simple as that.
It was only then that it occurred to me: the Bouncing Souls show was scheduled at Nation in southeast D.C. I was at the wrong venue, in northwest Washington, clear on the opposite side of town.

 R v RATTENBURY & STONER
He led medical evidence intended to convey that Stoner was addicted to cocaine, but the force of the evidence was diminished by the fact that no-one had ever seen Stoner use cocaine, Stoner gave no evidence of it, and it appeared that what Stoner thought to be cocaine was probably black pepper.
Alma was impetuous and emotional; she wrote sentimental songs and longed for fame and romantic love.
Stoner was maddened by the idea that he would be driving Alma and Rattenbury to a place where (as he imagined) they would share a bedroom as husband and wife.

Even Goldenthal's lyrical pieces differ from Uematsu's; while Uematsu's themes are generally graceful and confident, Golenthal's are often reserved, infused with a romantic hesitancy that makes them all the more poignant and real.
Lara Fabian's voice is simple and strong, a refreshing change from the melodramatic, melisma-addicted pop artists of today.
Goldenthal's music, on the other hand, is often bleak and unforgiving; in his film scores and concert works he strives to portray, musically, the dark recesses of the human soul.

Florence Harding, while her husband was a U.S. senator from Ohio, had consulted with "Madame X", alias Madame Marcia, and actually one Marcia Champney, a Washington, DC astrologer.

 Hart's War by Rachel Portman @ Cinemusic
Portman is known more for her romantic comedy arsenal of tricks and hasn't dabbled in this sort of serious territory before.
Taken in small doses, there is an admirable effort made by Portman in her tension-laden cues, including "Visser Finds Tunnel" (oddly, hints of Addicted To Love pop up here).
Portman relies only on strings, solo piano, woodwinds, a rare dose of percussion and some electronic drones (well hidden within the mix) to churn stomaches, and it's a long way between "Final Salute" and "Visser Finds Tunnel" and the album's highlights -- those final two tracks.
