...boldness is as least as much sexual as political. The lead character, Yu Hong, is a bundle of very Western-style neuroses, and a one-woman sexual liberation army. Her love scenes have a volcanic intensity not seen before in a Mainland Chinese film, and Hao Lei, the young actress who plays Yu Hong, has an urgent eroticism that mesmerizes the audience (or at least this member of it). She made me think both of the young Joan Chen, who was a teen idol before coming to the West in the early '80s, and of the divine, androgynous Leslie Cheung...
...Indeed, Disney continues to bet that its long-range investment plans in China will pay off, regardless of the recent headaches in Hong Kong. The firm is still in talks with Chinese officials about opening a mainland theme park, possibly in Shanghai, says Rasulo. "Have we made some mistakes?" he asks. "Absolutely.

The state is also rushing to complete the $60 million Sagamore Flyover project, which will ease the commute between Cape Cod and the mainland. Early in his governorship, Romney promised to resign if the Flyover was not built. It says much about Romney’s priorities that he would choose to stake his political career on the Flyover project, which does little more than convenience tourists, instead of any of the 1990 projects, which promise...
...oddballs who live on a mysterious island, presumably somewhere off the Atlantic coast of the U.S., sometime prior to the Civil War. The premise of the first book has Bertha Snodgrass, the grade-school-age daughter of the island's governor, deciding to buy a slave on the mainland and bring him back to do her chores. You can't fault Grady for a lack of daring. But the book's bizarre conflation of the horror of human slavery mixed with childish whimsy, including magical candy, a giant robot and little rock creatures, leaves the tone of the book...
