This Chinese 3rd Century war epic allows John "Face Off" Woo to pack an action packed punch in tandem with sweeping scenic visuals and some serious cinematic grandstanding. Ambitious.

Disney (with no help from Pixar, surprisingly) deliver a thoroughly enjoyable dog adventure to entertain kids of all ages.

The Reader (2008)
Solid post-war Germany drama directed by Steven Daldry (The Hours, Billy Elliot). In spite of mixed reviews, this more than holds its own, and to say this is another ''movie about the holocaust" would be misleading. Winslet won Oscar.
