...movie is a sequel to 2000's highly successful Tokyo Raiders, by director Jingle Ma, whose name appropriately evokes the sound box-office cash registers were making this Lunar New Year season throughout the Chinese-speaking world. In Tokyo Raiders, Ma moved the standard Hong Kong action-comedy plot (cop, girl, gangsters, slow-motion spin kicks) to Japan. But Tokyo is so five minutes ago compared with red-hot Korea. Time for a remake. Leung and his fellow Tokyo cast members are sent packing to Seoul...

For now, both publicly and privately, the Bush Administration is playing good cop, insisting it simply wants to return to the six-party format, that diplomatic and economic goodies await North Korea at the end of those talks, and that any military option is out of the question. Boucher last week even knocked down the idea that the U.S. is pressuring China...

...personal favorite is an adventure featuring The Spectre by Chris Duffy and Craig Thompson. The character, less well-known than many of the others of the book, is a cop named Jim Corrigan who was murdered by gangsters, but reincarnated to punish evil as God’s spirit of Vengeance (yes, comics occasionally acknowledge the theological conundrums posed by a world of Übermenschen). This story delves into what a police precinct would be like with one of the detectives secretly parading around as the Spirit of Vengeance: the supply person who forgets to order a three-ring...
