...Chinese mainland. Disney hired her to do the Chinese voice-over for the movie Mulan (Celine Dion's big break, remember, was voicing Beauty and the Beast). Later one of her songs was chosen for the soundtrack to The Runaway Bride, the Julia Roberts-Richard Gere romance flick. CoCo's current goal is nothing less than to demolish the pop-music divide between East and West, and a big step was surely keeping her underwear unexposed at the Oscars in front of a billion television viewers. The Crouching Tiger theme song may not have had the world rocking...
...come a long way, baby. Flick on the TV, and see women--young women, almost always--kicking and thinking and winking at both the old notion of femininity and the aging precepts of feminism. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (in her fifth season on the WB) saves her classmates from Evil, when she's not cracking a book or a joke. The Cartoon Network's Powerpuff Girls, "the most elite kindergarten crime-fighting force ever assembled," protect Townsville with their magical powers. Max, the bionic babe on Fox's Dark Angel, occasionally lets a mere man help her save the world...

"Shanghai women know a lot more than Shanghai men," she says. "We know the game, and we have to teach them the rules...
...Korean films currently doing the festival rounds challenge both censors and viewers. Im Sang Soo's Tears is a mindlessly violent, sex-charged flick shot in cine-verité style in a hellish-looking Seoul. Full of pimps, prostitutes and drugs galore, it's grubby stuff with girls furtively delivering hand shandies (though the filmmaker doesn't show the offending organs), and the cold, unfelt sex doesn't make for aesthetic delirium, but then neither should it. This is cinematic confrontation that resists escape. Kim Tae Yong's Memento Mori is a contemporary teenage-lesbo-horror-psycho casserole that keeps...
