...failed to take detailed notes of it, a little primer is in order. Ming (Andy Lau) is a triad spy who infiltrates the police force, while Yan (an unusually harried Tony Leung) is a cop under cover with the triads. Each tries to root out the other during the compact, brutally tense first film; Ming, who likes working with the good guys so much that he wants to sever all of his criminal ties, blows away Yan, and walks away scot-free. (Not in the mainland China version, however. Nervous censors there forced a last-minute change that has Ming...
Given the large ice rink at the Whittemore Center, Harvard switched to an L forecheck in order to keep the play more compact and thus take away any home-ice advantage. Large rinks accentuate passing and speed...
...pair). While the Uniden GMRS 750-2CK ($100) had the second best range of the bunch, it was too big and bulky to carry around easily. The Audiovox GMRS 7001-2CH ($100) and the Midland Radio G-300 ($120 for a Two Pack) were much more compact, but their minimalist designs made it hard to find and use their various features...
...compared the 7-mile units with a 5-mile model from Motorola, the market leader in two-way radios. Motorola doesn't sell a 7-mile radio, but its compact T5950 ($130) got reception that was as good as the Cobra's and beat the others--and the T5950's smaller size made it easier to tote. For a compact model, the T5950 was our top choice, but the slightly larger Cobra's overall design, clearer sound and cool extras, like a built-in digital compass and stopwatch, made it our favorite...
Chomet (who did use computer animation for the film's cars, boats and trains) has a canny design eye to match his narrative wit. The old woman is stocky and clubfooted, a compact metaphor for stubborn dedication; her grandson is so spindly he could ride Giacometti's Chariot; Bruno the dog has more personality than 101 Dalmatians. The movie isn't aimed at kids, but they will find plenty to beguile them. And don't worry that the film is French; it has hardly any dialogue. Doesn't need it. The gnarly imagery and the movie's understanding...
