...Salvation arrives, as it often does, in the form of a beautiful girl: a local seamstress, played by rising mainland starlet Zhou Xun. Zhou lights up the screen like a fistful of fireworks. The boys don't have a chance against her charm, by turns girlish and devilish. The darkly handsome Luo, ever the leader, stakes his claim first, his brooding eyes tracing Zhou with a hunger neither quite comprehends at first. Introverted Ma plays the third wheel but struggles to suppress his growing feelings for the seamstress...

Lee is on the receiving end of the most harrowing rape scene in movie history (and, yes, Francophiles, I?m including...
Fortunately, VH1 biographical docudramas provide a solution to Veterans’ Day’s faltering career. Like an aging starlet, Veterans’ Day will do best to retire. I do not suggest doing away with Veterans’ Day altogether, and I certainly don’t suggest abandoning long weekends. But we would do well to adopt the British custom of observing Veterans’ Day with quiet dignity on the nearest Sunday to Nov. 11. (You sense, reading the VA website’s rhapsodic description of British observations of the day, that the VA thinks...
