...Ever since Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon broke records for a foreign-language film at the Stateside box office, Asian directors have plundered Chinese history for tales of airborne warriors and another chance at the U.S. market. Chan, better known for romantic dramas like the superb Comrades: Almost a Love Story, could have a shot with this remake of Chang Cheh's 1973 kung-fu bromance Blood Brothers. He's certainly got star quality: Jet Li, Kaneshiro and Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau (who had the Matt Damon role in the film that was remade as The Departed...

...thing that struck me was the gap between Federer's physical and mental abilities. He doesn't have this supreme confidence that other athletes have. As good as Tiger Woods is with a golf club, he also has this assassin quality to him. Federer doesn't have the ability to build his confidence up to the point of delusion. He's very realistic and rational. But that's not a knock on him. He displays real humanity, and you rarely get that with an athlete of his caliber. And it shows you how physically gifted he is, how good...
