1. Amy
   Amy is a classmate of Buffy Summers' at Sunnydale High School. Friends with Willow Rosenberg in junior high, she would often go over to Willow's house and eat brownies to escape her mother's abuse. Amy first appears in the Season One episode "Witch", when she and Buffy both try out for cheerleading. Amy performs poorly in the tryouts, and when a series of strange injuries to other contestants move her up in the standings, the Scooby Gang suspect that she is a witch who is using her powers to harm the other girls. It is revealed that Amy's mother Catherine, a very powerful witch, has switched bodies with Amy because she wants to relive her youth. Buffy and the Scooby Gang succeed in restoring Amy to her own body and (unknown to them) trapping her mother in an old cheerleading trophy.
2. Amy Irving
   The first happy day in the adult life of Anjuli (Amy Irving) is the day her husband's body is set on fire. Her rich and powerful husband, the Rana of Bhitor (Rossano Brazzi), is ritually immolated in a lavish ceremony where his other wife, Anjuli's half sister, is expected to commit ritual suttee. Only after she is released from her marriage is Anjuli free to follow her heart. Based on M.M. Kaye's beloved novel, The Far Pavilions tells the haunting love story of Anjuli and Ash (Ben Cross) against the spectacular backdrop of mid-19th-century colonial India, replete with accurate historical and cultural details. Full of battle, treachery, intrigue, passion, and prejudice, the film brims with stunning sights, from the peaks of the Himalayas to the famed palaces of Bhitor, remarkable battle scenes, and royal pageantry, including a lavish, several-day-long traditional Hindu wedding where the groom enters on an elephant.
3. The Butterfly Effect -- Ashton Kutcher
   Not to be confused with The Mothman Prophecies (2002), The Butterfly Effect is a reasonably effective supernatural thriller starring Ashton Kutcher in his first dramatic screen role. Although the jury's still out about whether he'll be able to parlay his current celebrity as Demi Moore's goofy boy-toy into lasting stardom, Kutcher acquits himself fairly well in this New Line release, which just premiered at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. As the time-traveling hero, Kutcher gives a subdued, shtick-free performance. While he often comes across as more earnest than inspired, Kutcher gets an "A" for effort, if not execution.
4. Roger Kumble
   [I]f all that suggests just the hint of familiarity, then, yes, it’s because Roger Kumble's feature debut is a contemporary take on Laclos' 1782 epistolary novel 'Les Liaisons Dangereues'. And it’s almost exciting to stumble across a movie - a teen movie, no less - positioning itself for the mass market this past summer that is so reliant on dialogue over pyrotechnics. And one that finds its thrills in the written word, no less; surprisingly, Kumble very much holds to the notion of the intervention of letters.
5. Valentine's Day
   The origins of Valentine's Day are uncertain. Many experts believe that it originated with Lupercalia, a Roman celebration honoring the wolves Romulus and Remus. During this festival, young men struck women with a goatskin hide called a februa. Receiving the blows was thought to make women more fertile and to ease childbirth. At Lupercalia, the names of all the young women in the city were placed in a box. Young men drew a name from the box and the couple would be paired until the next Lupercalia.
6. Dolphins (Movie) -- Scientists
   Dolphins are highly social and appear to communicate among themselves with a wide range of clicks, whistles and beeps, though scientists who study them say they do not actually have a complex language. Experts say dolphins are smarter than dogs andsimilar in intelligence to chimpanzees.
7. Medical -- Products
   CLOSURE Medical designs, develops and manufactures a number of medical adhesives and delivery devices based on a proprietary medical-grade cyanoacrylate technology for specific applications in wound care and wound closure. This technology is found in the family of DERMABOND(R) Topical Skin Adhesive (2-octyl cyanoacrylate) products, which are marketed by Ethicon, Inc. under an exclusive distribution agreement. It is ... found in BAND-AID(R) Brand Liquid Bandage and other products for consumer and veterinary use. CLOSURE Medical's cyanoacrylate formulations offer several advantages, including speed, ease-of-use and performance, versus other products.
8. Lexus Gs 300 -- Models
   The 2001 Lexus GS is available in two models: GS 300 and GS 430. New standard amenities for both 2001 GS models include a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, an electronic compass, water-repellant front door glass, and additional interior wood trim. The GS 430 is now equipped with a 4.3L V-8 engine with a torque rating of 325 lb-ft at 3,400 rpm. The new V-8 meets the Federal Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (ULEV) status. Both GS models now feature a standard front side curtain airbag supplemental restraint system. The GS 300 now features the E-Shift button on the steering wheel spokes. High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights are now standard on the GS 430 and available on the GS 300.
9. Van Wilder -- Ryan Reynolds
   When Van Wilder released in 2002, it inspired a genre of American campus capers. The film mirrored (albeit an exaggerated reality) the trials and tribulations of a generation experimenting with the American Greek system, drinks, drugs, sex and some more drinks and even more sex. Van Wilder starred Ryan Reynolds in the title role along with Tara Reid [Images].
10. Nick Nolte -- Poor Man
    Nick Nolte's next film is "The Hulk". "The Hulk" is based upon the character published by Marvel Comics. Production started on 'Hulk' last March in Arizona, then moved on to San Francisco and Berkeley. The film will tell the tale of Dr. Bruce Banner who is exposed to Gamma Rays and transformed into the Hulk, a creature of incredible strength. Chased across the country by the military, he runs into a man named Crusher Creel who can take on the properties of things he touches. Bruce Banner's father Dr. Brian Banner will be played by Nick Nolte. To the right here is a photo of how Nick will look playing this role:
