...Emperor and the Assassin, set in the 3rd century B.C., relates the struggle of Ying Zheng (Li) to unify China and become its first emperor. His aims are honorable, his methods increasingly brutal; he might be the prototype for Lenin or Mao. Ying sends his lover Lady Zhao (Gong) to her Han homeland. Her mission is to find a professional killer (Zhang, in a potent turn) to fake an assassination attempt, whose "failure" will make Ying seem invincible to his adversaries. But Ying grows more ruthless, and the lady and the killer fall in love. Now they will...

Imperial warriors, caked with the dust of conquest, tramp through the Coliseum like bulky action figures.

They say their failure to adhere to these rules caused their termination. Stallone's lawyer called the suit "purely fictional...

Soft-spoken, quick to smile, often cloaked in a slightly rumpled golf sweater, "Masa" Son is the unlikely man who would be emperor of the Internet. He has a 300-year--yes, that's 300-year--plan to invest in so many companies on the Web that no matter what country you're in, whether you're looking for a broker or a bouquet of flowers, a car or a doctor, you'll have...
