...Ghostbusters' particle-beam backpacks. The waterboy is fired after Coach Red (Jerry Reed) decides that the players are excessively distracted by his innocent, aqueous ambition. Bobby returns home for condolence from his mother (Kathy Bates, who seems stuck between her roles in Misery and Titanic). At this point, the endless volley of "bayou" jokes begins, ranging from a dinner of medium rare python to a disproportionate propensity for missing teeth. At first, these are gross and funny, but eventually become just gross. Amazingly, Bates and Sandler manage to keep the unoriginal material quite hilarious; but even Sandler's comedic appeal...
...sure looks that way after two games. With two nonconference road wins, defeating No. 4 Minnesota (1-1-1) 3-1 and blanking Mankato State (0-3) 10-0 in Minnesota's Mariucci Arena, Harvard (2-0-0) appears to have an endless pool of talent, and the Crimson's strong showing in Minnesota last weekend may improve Harvard's No. 5 preseason ranking...

Worth the extra money alone are U2's haunting, dark version of Patti Smith's "Dancing Barefoot" and the U2 originals "Spanish Eyes" and "Luminous Times (Hold On To Love)." Other songs are brooding ("Love Comes Tumbling," "Endless Deep") or simply happy ("Hallelujah Here She Comes"). Only the covers are overly weak; their version of "Everlasting Love" seems a bit too close to Gloria Estefan's jolly remake, and on "Unchained Melody," Bono strains his voice to hit the high notes, which lessens the beauty of the song...
...seething with expectations andpressure--especially since she is the primecandidate for the dreaded "sophomore slump." Aftera debut album that rockets to the top, artiststend to stagnate (i.e. Hootie and the Blowfish),boring their fans and reinvigorating theirenemies. With one of the top albums of all time asher debut, endless radio promotion and an elasticvoice that some consider grating, Alanis wouldcertainly find a worthy opponent in the sophomorejinx...
