...time; the Yorke funeral provides a cover for the smugglers, hence the ocean checkpoint. As Leeman, Homer and Page are drying off on the deck after the rescue, a banana boat holding what appears to be two men scoots past the ACV. Jumping into the tender, the three officers chase it down. The boat turns out to be carrying 15 people - infants, a grandmother, men, women and children - huddled beneath black plastic sheeting to stay dry and avoid the cold wind. Their documents are in order. By 0900, half the Yorke funeral travelers have passed the checkpoint and there...

...created by painting computer graphics over an actor (here, Alan Tudyk). It's a suave simulacrum that makes Sonny the film's most complex and human character--granted, by default--and sets him apart from the killer "can openers" in pursuit of Spooner. There's a nifty car chase, with the cop (in an Audi, its logo prominently displayed) set upon by a vicious android posse. Even if the scene is not up there with the 14-min. freeway free-for-all in the second Matrix movie, it's a smart, vigorous blend of live action and computer graphics...

Hanger-on-dom, that more attainable yet rarely celebrated dream, is the subject of HBO's summer sitcom Entourage (Sundays, 10 p.m. E.T.). Vince Chase (Adrian Grenier) is a hot young actor who has just opened a blockbuster thriller. But the title refers to the homeboys from Queens--including his unofficial manager Eric (Kevin Connolly) and chucklehead pal Turtle (Jerry Ferrara)--who live in his L.A. house, ride in his Rolls, smoke his pot and score his surplus women. ("Come on, make out with me," Turtle cajoles one. "I'll show you where Vince eats breakfast.") In return, they make...

...armed, one-eyed Gao has become the village pariah. When their scorn becomes more than he can bear he unleashes a savagely violent revenge that begins his days as a hunted, merciless bandit. And yet, in a moment that I missed on the first read, during a breathless chase scene, he puts a ladybug out of harm's way. During his travels Gao crosses paths with Akanemaru, a sculptor on his way to visit a temple. Akanemaru shares his campfire, a kindness that Gao returns with a hateful crippling of the "proud" sculptor's arm. From here the book switches...
