   COVER STORY
Last Action Hero: AFI/AFM overview, Part Two
Chi Tung and Brian Hu return as backseat drivers itching to discuss the merits of two spankin' new action vehicles, Wilson Yip's S.P.L. and Jackie Chan's The Myth.
The New Face of the Supermodel

APA examines the lack of diversity in the world of modeling along with the increasing demand for some color amidst the omnipresent black and white. See who has penetrated the iron gates surrounding high fashion, and meet the bright young faces who seek to redefine classical notions of beauty.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Fortress: Ang Lee bends, but doesn't break under Tinseltown's iron fist.
