...about the team-first, “win-at-all-costs” mentality that prevails at Harvard. This is not to say that my current teammates are in any way selfish or that winning is not their ultimate goal but the dugout just seems to lack that same buzz and excitement that is present when playing a Sunday doubleheader against Dartmouth with the Ivy League title on the line. In minor league baseball staying healthy and improving so that you can make it to the major leagues is the ultimate goal. Of course every kid that picks...
...BUZZ Actually, not bad. A strong trailer suggests that despite what Ratner says-"It's not just a bunch of superheroes saving the world and kicking ass. It deals with a lot of issues, prejudice and alienation and all that stuff"-he has grasped one of the basic truths of the series: the more mutants, the mo'better...
...BUZZ The Poseidon Adventure does not generate much Internet alarm over its desecration. The folks at Warner Bros. (like TIME, an arm of Time Warner), seem to be quietly confident.

Poseidon could just be the preposterous, grip-the-armrest thriller people love in summer. Or, like the ship, it could be a sinker. -By Belinda Luscombe...
...BUZZ Security was tighter than the Mona Lisa's smile at the Muse du Louvre in Paris, where location filming was allowed only after closing hours. Ongoing complaints by the Vatican and Opus Dei have only stoked the publicity fires, while a (much) smaller group supporting albino rights blanched at the villain's complexion. Sony has held no screenings for movie critics yet, which is not usually a good sign. But controversy sells, so maybe it won't need signs. -By Jeffrey Ressner...
...BUZZ Production, on location in Florida and the Caribbean, was rougher than Don Johnson's stubble. Hurricanes closed the set three times, as did an incident in the Dominican Republic involving an off-duty cop who wanted to get on-set and a spot of gunfire; in December, Farrell had to be treated for exhaustion and dependency on prescription medication. Mann, a notoriously meticulous director, has pulled off tough, big-star productions before (Heat, Ali). But movie audiences have tended to like their TV remakes campy (Charlie's Angels, Mr. & Mrs. Smith), and Mann takes Vice, the movie, dead seriously...
