...Olympian rivalry this time is between Zeus (regal, fretful Liam Neeson) and a new character, his banished brother-god Hades (a suavely sulfurous Ralph Fiennes). They engage in a tense debate - whether a god should trust the devotion of humans or manipulate their fears - and then put their theories into action.

For years, regal skiers treated upstart snowboarders like pests; thanks to efforts by snowboarding pioneers like White, who has given the sport legitimacy and near mainstream acceptance, now there's at least a grudging respect between the two camps. "I wouldn't say there's a rivalry," says Rick Bower, a half-pipe coach for the U.S. team. He stops to reconsider that statement. "There...
