Dwayne Johnson looks awesome in this movie, especially without his shirt on. That’s all I remember about this trailer. All kidding aside, Julie Andrews, Billy Crystal and Diane Lane also star in this kiddie movie. I hope they can pull it off and create a fun movie for the kiddies. The movie opens January 22, 2009.

John Woo’s Red Cliff domestic trailer looks breathtaking and spectacular. I am awed by the crispness of the cinematography. Apparently, the movie has been edited down to one film for the United States, which Woo intended to do all along. Some may not be happy about his decision, but it’s still an epic and the film will draw more people to the theaters.

What a beautifully told story! If you know anything about the trail and tribulations of living under Chairman Mao and his with wife Madam Mao regime, then you know this story is about the survival of an artist – Lin Cunxin.
I have the impression that this movie has a limited release, but if it’s in your city I recommend you see it. It’s based on a true story that made headlines — autobiography by Lin Cunxin at age 11 was taken from his Chinese family and trained by his government to become a great ballet dancer and defected to the United States.
