...Even the giddiest high-riders are beginning to question how much real estate speculation Shanghai can take. Yes, luxury-residential rents increased 15% last year, but in the next three years the number of new apartments in the city will double due to frenzied construction, leading to a surefire property glut...
...Chan a lot of friends. They'll want to catch this re-released 1992 comedy in which he plays twins separated at birth; one becomes a famous conductor, the other a rowdy mechanic. Add two girlfriends and some triad intrigue, and you have one of the Chan man's giddiest workouts. Look for cameos by Hark, Lam, John Woo and Kirk Wong--all top action auteurs.

The Wagner of rock, celebrating his own Wall of Sound glory, in a four-CD box featuring 60 of his biggest hits and wildest productions. This is rock at its grandest and giddiest. Spanning nearly a quarter-century, classics like Be My Baby and Then He Kissed Me are three-minute operas of teen passion, which have endured because of the grandeur and unapologetic delirium of the Spector style. His production techniques are elaborate and near legendary, but even if they could be duplicated, it wouldn...
