ALBANY, N.Y.—Apparently, the fifth time isn’t the charm, either. As the Harvard men’s hockey team has done the past four years, the Crimson failed to get out of the first round of the NCAA tournament, ending its season with a 6-1 defeat to Maine Saturday afternoon at Pepsi Arena. With the loss, the Crimson moved to 0-3 all-time against the Black Bears in the postseason. But unlike the down-to-the-wire contests of 2002 and 2004, Saturday’s game was a blowout...
...family must be. Fortunately, Berlusconi’s 69-year-old heart is as strong as ever. During the Republican Convention some years ago, the soon-to-be Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger commented that his wife refused him sex for two weeks following his public endorsement of Bush. Well, Italian charm proves itself once more: Messiah Berlusconi promised to abstain from carnal relationships till the April elections. For the record, that is over two months of Catholic abstinence.

The jokes can be broad (e.g., the airline starts an offshoot called Jack; if you can't guess where the dirty puns go from there, you don't watch much Fox). But Harrison shows Topher Gracean charm as a guy stuck between adolescence and adulthood, and Philip Baker Hall (Magnolia) steals every scene as his gruff, insensitive boss. If the writing can rise to their performances, The Loop could take flight...
...movie’s loose ends. But, in spite of it all, there are some genuine laughs to be had.McConaughey’s performance solidifies his place in Hollywood as the newest go-to guy for traditional romantic comedy leads, adding just the right amount of Southern charm and masculinity to his numerous shirtless scenes. Parker, on the other hand, is an odd fit for this film. She was obviously chosen by producers for her star power; however, quirkier, more mature roles—such as her uptight character in “The Family Stone?...
