...have a functioning curling rink. For Japan, the Games were a happy windfall, as the host nation rode on the cheers of its faithful fans to win more golds in 16 days than it had won in 70 years of Winter Games. Ski jumper Kazuyoshi Funaki assured himself of heartthrob status by flying away with three medals; more movingly, Masahiko Harada, who had let glory slip away in his final jump in two consecutive Olympics, somehow pulled off the longest jumps in Olympic history in two consecutive events to claim redemption. Roar after roar ran through the crowd, larger than...

In fifth place following the short program, Frenchman Philippe Candeloro, 25, an international heartthrob of the Lorenzo Lamas school, won his second consecutive bronze in the Olympic games, keeping Todd Eldredge, 26, the five-time U.S. national champion, from medaling...

The film actually becomes more dramatically compelling as his character fades in prominence, though it's amusing to watch his narcissism get deflated...
...needed visibility to the tragic modern history of Tibet, but opts for glossy formulaic packaging over genuine emotion, even in the central relationship between Brad Pitt's Austrian mountaineer and the young Dalai Lama. Pitt never frees us from the sensation that he's out of place--a Hollywood heartthrob trying to look spiritual. In fact, the film actually becomes more dramatically compelling as Pitt's character fades in prominence, though it's amusing to watch his arrogant narcissism get deflated. --Lynn...
