These young auteurs, most of them graduates of the Beijing Film Academy, are sucessors to the famous Fifth Generation of Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige. But their films are worlds removed from Raise the Red Lantern and Farewell My Concubine?those gorgeous parables of loss, steeped in oriental exoticism. In general, the Fifth Generation made pretty films set in the rural past; the Sixth Generation makes gritty films set in the urban present. Emperors and concubines have been replaced by the grungy malcontents of Zhang Yuan's Beijing Bastards (1993), the Sixth Generation's first major film; its anomic punksters...

What the hero doesn't know is that the button to detonate the tnt is on the sole of the kid's right shoe?so that even if they...
...Disney, the park is the ride. It's a pleasure to browse in this imaginary Anytown; each quiet corner is art-directed with meticulous pizazz. Tread carefully on the elevated rope "netwalk"--a sort of Swiss Family Wallenda--in the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail. Stop to hear gorgeous spellbinder Nicole Barre spin an Indian fable, How the Rabbit Stole the Sun, in the Ahwahnee Camp Circle. Catch the charming film snippets of Rosie O'Donnell and Colin Mochrie in the Boudin Bakery pavilion. Wander through Paradise Pier, where you will find Wolfgang Puck's to-diet-for seafood restaurant, Avalon...
