...clever screenplay, by ex-King of the Hill writers Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, is a tribute to the effect the '70s martial arts films had, especially on the pre-teen set, when they flooded Saturday-morning U.S. TV in the wake of Bruce Lee's success with Enter the Dragon. A boy who watched those movies would be nearing middle age now, but he'd recognize KFP's plot - of a laggard who undergoes rigorous training to become a great fighter - from many films, including the one that made Jackie Chan a star, the 1978 Drunken Master...

"They are very good competitors," says Llosa...
...Coop copiers’ “illegal” activities redundant. In addition, the administration’s reluctance to lend a hand to Crimsonreading.org must stop. The Coop exists in order to benefit the Harvard community, and students are only harmed when the administration puts the financial success of the Coop over low textbook prices.When Nicholas J. Castine ’09 came up with an innovative solution to Harvard’s idiosyncratic lack of cable television in dorm rooms, television enthusiasts at Harvard rejoiced. But the University’s refusal to consider the Castine?...
