...world's museums, or will they have become like garden gnomes, sociological testimony to the degenerate taste of collectors in the late 20th century? Will people still gawp at those stinking fragments, awash in their tank of formaldehyde, the relics of Damien Hirst's much-hyped dead shark...
...Line of Fire both were international box-office smashes. Here, Clooney and Walhberg (it's two of the Three Kings) star in the adaptation of the best selling book about a monster storm that attacks a boat of hapless fishermen. It's Twister plus Jaws-the giant shark. Besides its disaster movie attraction, The Perfect Storm has several things going for it. 1) Movies with waves always do well. i.e. Deep Imact. 2) It's opening on the prime July 4 weekend (though The Patriot will provide stiff competition). 3) Peterson has a built in fan base and 4) Warner...

The last time a shark killed a swimmer in the harbor was 1963, and local marine scientists say the water will be too cold for sharks during the Games. This month's tests, however, while the weather is still warm, are another story. Organizers aren't taking any chances. Noises tend to scare off sharks, so inflatable boats with outboard motors may cruise the course during the race. McCormack says sharks tend to attack swimmers who are not sticking with...
