Ilija and Blaguna Trajkovic don't think much of democracy. Forced by an ethnic Albanian mob to leave their home in the Kosovo capital, Pristina, last March, and then obliged to stand by as the 19th century Serbian Orthodox church they had taken care of was torched, the Serb couple now live in a shipping container in the enclave of Gracanica, south of Pristina. In the past month, successive international delegations have urged the Trajkovics and 130,000 other members of the Serb minority living in Kosovo to participate in this week's elections for the Kosovo Assembly, the provisional...
...know, before he started making claptrap like Paycheck? Well, there is a new Hong Kong action flick that those in the know have been talking about since its 2002 megablockbuster release in its native country: Infernal Affairs.

...three years, undercover cop Yan (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) has worked for Mob lord Sam (Eric Tsang). Sam's plant in the Hong Kong Triad Police Bureau is Ming (Andy Lau), whose commander, Wong (Anthony Wong), has been after Sam for most of his career. When the cops try to bust one of Sam's drug deals, both sides realize they are internally compromised. Yan and Ming must walk a fine line, getting information to their true bosses while hiding their own identities from their duped colleagues. Sometimes the only way to achieve that is by killing an ally...
