...kill each other when it's over," says Jackie Chan as the Drunken Master Lu Yan to Jet Li's Silent Monk in the new Asian-American fantasy film The Forbidden Kingdom. But when these honored veterans of Hong Kong martial-arts movies get into fighting mode, it's an open question as to whether they'll survive till the end of the shoot. (Chan ends each of his films with gruesome outtakes of the injuries he suffered doing his stunts.) For all the safety precautions taken, the two stars still have to give every fiber of their disciplined, battered...
...sprinkle of fresh basil. I spend an extra dollar-fifty for the homemade fusilli with no regrets. Luckily, the portions are so large that unless you are particularly ravenous (or a football player), you’ll be sure to head home with enough left-overs to satisfy any drunken late-night munchies. In addition to the praiseworthy pasta, the Hoxallaris also serve thin, crusty 16-inch pizzas ($11.95), salads ($4.75-6.75), and mini arancinis ($4.50)—a Sicilian speciality of fried rice croquettes, filled with creamy Fontina cheese.

We further learn that his hard-partying habits were genetic. McCain's father, a submariner-turned admiral named Jack, told stories of drunken nights on shore leave that involved ransacking an officer's club or throwing a box of bullets on a fire...
...tries too hard to be funny and ends up failing to portray the subtle themes present in the original text. Benjamin Evett’s superb and intricate performance as Calaban is particularly wasted, as the deeper issues behind his character are not explored. When the savage licks the drunken Stephano’s boots as a mark of his devotion to his new master, it should be a slightly revolting scene, but here it is simply made to seem comical. The production does the name of the Multicultural Arts Center a disservice by ignoring the issues of colonialism...
