Packin' pols

By Alyson Brodsy and Jonathan P. Rossing · Wednesday, Sept. 27,2006 10:45 p.m.

If you plan to visit the Indiana Statehouse next year, leave your gun at home -- unless you're an elected state senator or representative. Lawmakers are welcome to come to work packing heat. One never knows when congressional debates might get out of hand, I suppose.

Li 'Fearless' in his final fight

By Chris Wisner and compiled by Chris Wisner · Wednesday, Sept. 27,2006 10:45 p.m.

As many have learned, "Fearless" marks the final time martial arts powerhouse Jet Li will perform his craft in front of the camera. He has become convinced that the culture of Wushu held so dear to him has become abused and tainted in so much of his Western output. It's a shame really, as I'm convinced that "Fearless" is Li in his finest hour.

Great actors don't make a great movie

By Olivia Morales · Wednesday, Sept. 27,2006 10:43 p.m.

I recently re-watched "A Civil Action," a taut legal drama penned by Steven Zaillian whose other impressive credits include "Gangs of New York" and "Schindler's List." In the company of these beautifully written and well-studied dramas, I am shocked that his adaptation of Robert Penn Warren's "All the King's Men" was as blandly bad as it was.

By C. Warner Sills and John Barnett · Wednesday, Sept. 27,2006 10:42 p.m.

It's hard to believe that four years have passed since the "Jackass" boys last graced movie screens with their outlandish stunts, but the boys are back, finally, with a new stable of even grosser, cruder and more death-defying gags to please their core audience.
