...pitch for this movie must've sold Ferrell on the project in about 10 seconds. Indeed, it's hard not to smile when you hear it. Get ready: two top figure skaters - blond, winsome Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder) and bad-boy Chazz Michael Michaels (Ferrell) - get into a brawl on the winners' stand and are forever banished from the male singles category. Three and a half years later, Chazz is drunk and disgraced impersonating a wizard in some Podunk lounge act on ice, and Jimmy is peddling sports equipment at a Ski 'n Shred. But they love skating more than...

Nonetheless, investigators involved in the Thornton project insist there is little cause for worry. "The fields held oil and gas for millennia," says Larry Myer, an earth scientist with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, Calif., and the project's director, "so geologically we know they're going to hold...
