...used to be Gould's gold; now it's a Pacino casino.) Clooney & Co. agree to avenge their old pal by taking Pacino down: rigging the games so he loses millions on opening night, stealing a cache of precious diamonds from the usual impenetrable display and subverting his fond expectation of winning for his hotel the highest five diamonds rating from some imaginary Michelin guide. In previous films this Mission: Implausible team took stuff because it was, hey, fun. This time it's personal...
...This could have been Katzenberg's idea; as head of Disney animation in its palmy "Renaissance" years (1988-94), he had hosted ever more elaborate industry previews of his films, culminating in a Las Vegas stunt for The Lion King with a live lion onstage. The beast was so fond of Jeffrey, it nearly behaved toward him as another Vegas lion later did to Siegfried's Roy; but Jeffrey escaped basically unmauled.

Welcome to the island of Elba, off the west coast of Tuscany, and more specifically to Tenuta La Chiusa, a working vineyard where the warmonger once spent two nights during his nine-month Elban exile, before escaping to prepare for his last battle. Today, peace lovers...
...class organization, the way they treat you. First class all the way.”With Hartford’s season over after a Game 7 loss on Sunday evening, Reese has a long summer ahead of him to look back on his time at Harvard with fond memories, yet also to look ahead and realize that his hockey career could be just beginning.The tagline for the latest NCAA sports ad campaign reads, “There are over 300,000 NCAA student-athletes, and just about all of us will be going pro in something other than sports...
