...biggest debut weekend for any Scorsese picture (The Departed was his previous top opener), and any DiCaprio (yes, including Titanic). Turns out the R-rated whodunit - with Leo playing a U.S. marshal searching for a killer in an insane asylum - benefited from an effective ad spot on the Super Bowl and a week with no other new films in wide release. Scorsese's very limited competition came from fellow world-class auteur Roman Polanski's The Ghost Writer, another conspiracy thriller set on a windy Massachusetts island. The film took in $179,000 in four theaters in New York...

...Super G, which is a shorter version of the downhill with more gates and less speed, Miller once again made good on his unmatched versatility. He notched his second medal of the Games, and gave notice that the foul-mouthed, night-clubbing iconoclast I had profiled on the cover of TIME four years ago had given way to someone more, well, let's not say mature, since we are talking about an incredibly free spirit, but a guy who came to ski rather than take on the world. "For me the legacy is the way you perform; the performance...

...Miller's medals aren't quite a surprise, Andrew Weibrecht's bronze in the Super G certainly is. He posted a 1:30.65 time after a slightly hairy run that saw him nearly topple at the top of the course. Skiing third, he held on to first place until Miller came down eight places later. "I haven't ever come down leading a race," Weibrecht said. "I figured I would stay in there until 10 guys came down. But I kept staying in there...

...card was an electrifying run at the Birds of Prey downhill in Beaver Creek, Colorado, a couple of years ago that both impressed and terrified the U.S. coaching staff. Small for a speed racer (5 ft. 6 in.; 1.65m) he's made steady progress, finishing 11th at the Super G in Kitzbuehel in January. He picked a great time to step into the limelight. Svindal won the gold by covering the course in 1:30.34, edging Miller's 1:30.62 by 0.28 seconds. It's the second medal for the Norwegian, who like Miller is a former world champion...

...Notably absent in the Super G and the combined was the mighty Austrian team, which came into the games as a heavy medal favorite. To the stunned amazement of the many Austrian fans roving around Whistler, the performance has been something of a national nightmare in the sport the Austrians have dominated. The Yanks, on the other hand, have always done well in Canada. Gold and bronze medalist Lindsey Vonn practically owns Lake Louise, a stop on the women's tour. Throw in Julia Mancuso's two silvers and the U.S. alpine team has now won seven medals...
