...amusingly vexed at losing his identity. It could be called "Dude, Where's My Karma?" The cast, especially Spade (we keep wanting to call him David Snide) and Warburton, give bounce and sass to a script full of clever ideas. You won't find the emotional grandeur of "The Lion King" here, but that's OK. "Emperor" doesn't aim too high or strain too hard; it is at ease inhabiting its pretty, miniature realm...
...Asian star power, Crouching Tiger depends on Jen--on Zhang, in only her second film. The actress says she labored under "a pressure not to disappoint the director.

And though he packs a lot of weight on his shortish frame these days, he was once a slightly bearish but, in some circles, sexy military hero. A photo of him from the 1973 October War shows him standing next...
...like his oil industry backers, remains unconvinced of the scientific basis for all this global warming stuff despite the consensus among mainstream scientists. And they complain that developing nations aren't required by Kyoto to do enough, even though everyone agrees that the industrialized countries have created the lion's share of the problem...
