...tournament. Penn State has been a national powerhouse in recent years, recording only one loss to accompany a NCAA berth last season. The defending Big Ten conference champions are still waiting to get on a roll, however, having started the season with a mediocre 2-2-2 record. Aubrey Aden-Buie is a player to watch for the Nittany Lions. The junior striker has netted three goals in the last three games, including the game-winner last Sunday in a 1-0 victory over Bucknell.

Each of the big action sequences has many casualties that, without getting too gory, are explicitly shown; even some beloved characters are not spared. When Maturin and Aubrey have to make tough decisions, you feel their pain and the confusion, pain and anger of their crewmen. Between Master and Commander, The Truman Show and Witness, Peter Weir has proven himself to be one of the smartest populist directors working today...
