...have yourself a motion picture with quite a bit going against it. That said, I immensely enjoyed Little Nicky, a heartwarming story about the devil (Harvey Keitel, a bit out of place in this classless romp) and his three sons: ne'er-do-wells Adrian (Rhys Ifans) and Cassius (Tom Lister) and wimpy, innocent Nicky (Sandler). This isn't your father's hell; Satan rules justly over the condemned souls, respecting that a natural balance must exist between good and evil. However, when Adrain and Cassius make a break for the surface, the natural order of things is disrupted...
...Harvard University announces it is suing a Boston man for violating the new federal "cyber-piracy" law.

Rhys-Jones claims the unanticipated Swiss chill prompted her spontaneous purchase. But at a time when the British government is embroiled in a debate over banning fox hunts, the move did not sit well. One newspaper suggested...
...repeatedly represented as) a lioness, bestial in her pursuit of pleasure and fiercely protective of her young. Saturnius, the young emperor foppishly and petulantly embodied by the fine stage actor Alan Cumming, simply seeks to protect his authority and to be loved. Tamora's two younger sons (Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Matthew Rhys) are simply bored and callous, devoted to violence and provocation out of sheer idiocy and for want of a better option...
