BREAKING NEWS (Hong Kong, 2004)
Johnnie To's slamming, go-for-broke action flick starts off with the shot heard round the world: an eight minute tracking shot that sees a sleepy city street erupt in a savage shoot-out that wowed the critics when it played at Cannes. It's not the best movie from Johnnie To, but it would be the best movie from anyone else. Come for the action, and stay for the great character work from actors like Richie Jen and Lam Suet.

EK AJNABEE (India, 2005)
Daily @ 4pm
One of Bollywood's last big movies of the year looks like a doozy: starring Amitabh Bachchan in a riff on MAN ON FIRE (burnt-out bodyguard kills thousands while protecting innocence of little girl), shot in Bangkok and with action by Seng, a Thai stunt choreographer who did the tuk tuk chase in ONG BAK and did stunts in BORN TO FIGHT, the eye popping action flick from Panna Ritthikria, Tony Jaa's mentor.

ZINDA (India, 2006)
Bollywood remakes the Korean hit OLDBOY. Yes, Park Chan-Wook's stylized tale of revenge and dental violence (and live octopus eating) gets the Bollywood treatment in a movie that looks like it could be a shot-for-shot remake.

FAMILY (India, 2006)
This crime film from Bollywood was highly anticipated but has received mixed reviews. Amitabh Bachchan stars as a crime figure whose family goes to war with another family. When I say the reviews are mixed I mean that most people accuse the movie of being little more than a vehicle for the producer's son.
