...real Indiana Jones movies, but deftly executed nonetheless). The terracotta warriors, once they are revived, move with the balletic precision of armored Rockettes. There's a decent chase scene through Shanghai streets with Art Deco buildings draped in chinoiserie. The whole production is handsome, and the second-unit work first-rate. Finally Li and Yeoh have their big face-off, and the movie rekindles old Hong Kong glories while offering some new ones...

"Corruption and fraud is affecting the delivery of E.U. financial assistance ... A clear strategy to cleanse the system is needed." A separate report by the Commission's anti-fraud unit, OLAF, accused a crime group of defrauding the E.U. of aid even as Bulgarian authorities looked...
