...Brother, Where Art Thou? Starring: George Clooney, John Turturro, Tim Blake Nelson, John Goodman Director: Joel Coen Opens...
...will take over for Witt and White as the designated goal-scorer this season. Like White, Whitney was invited to the U.S.A. Hockey Festival in Lake Placid this summer, and now she is the Huskies' only legitimate scoring threat. Seniors Lisa Giovanelli (17 g, 10 a) and Collen Coen (10 g, 9 a) should also see plenty of shifts at forward...
...Coen Brothers' upcoming film, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" is one of these musicals in disguise.

Shinji Aoyama's "Eureka," a 3-hr, 17-min. "interior road movie" about three survivors of a terrorist attack, earned various critics' prizes for its stark beauty and psychological rigor, but the Japanese film was shut out as well in the main contest. And the strongest entry of the entire Festival, Ang Lee's thrilling action fantasy "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," was mysteriously shown out of competition, and thus ineligible for the jury...
