"A hero will rise again, if Gladiator producers get their way. Sure, Russell Crowe's character, General Maximus--the heart and soul of director Ridley Scott's 2000 Oscar-winning Best Picture of 2000--died triumphantly at the end of the film.
But, according to the Hollywood Reporter, that's not stopping producers of the sweeping swordplay epic from proceeding with a follow-up flick. " Yahoo! News - Unleashing Hell? |

Fed up with his brokerage statements, Paul Entin got out of it -- not the market, just his broker. Back in 1999, the president of a marketing and communications firm opened an E*Trade (ET:NYSE - news - commentary - research - analysis) account because the online broker had fewer fees and restrictions than bricks-and-mortar rivals. As the stock bubble burst, Entin sold his losers but saw nothing he wanted to buy. So he held steady. But then a $25-per-quarter inactivity fee, used to eke profits from customers who rack up little in transaction fees and have balances less than $5,000, began appearing on his statements. "I was livid," says Entin. "I closed the account a month ago. I didn't want to buy or sell something this quarter just so I could avoid some fee. I don't like being pressured into doing something."
