...victories highlighted the season for the Crimson men’s basketball team, but in the end it was yet another year in which a disappointing Ivy League losing streak crushed any hopes of achieving Harvard’s first conference title. The Crimson’s most notable win came during the tough pre-Ivy schedule in a game in which current Harvard coach Tommy Amaker faced off against his former squad. The resounding 62-51 victory over Michigan in front of a packed Lavietes Pavilion was a huge morale boost for Harvard. The Crimson looked ready to shake...

For one thing, he dreamed the character up; for another, Bardem doesn't have to work hard to radiate the sensitive machismo of a man who doesn't use women so much as he allows them to briefly fulfill their dreams in him. Visually, too, the movie is in love with Barcelona, its gnarled Gaudi buildings, and with the countryside of Ovieto, a hundred shades of glorious earth tones.
