One Night with the King:
Loved it..I thought it was well-done, impressive cinematography w/o being Excessive where it counts...
It's the recounting of Esther, Queen of Persia, how she became Queen, and the events following that detail how she saves her People from Genocide{Persian Jews}.
I kinda tried to ignore the fact that Xerxes in this film slightly resembled a 'radical faerie', often....other than that, I was very much drawn into the Plot..
♦With Luke Goss as King Xerxes {Hellboy 2, Blade 2..}

Curse of the Golden Flower:
A very vivid, visually "busy" Film about Love, strange Lust & Betrayel, all within the Forbidden City...
I'd have to compare it to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, as far as the Action scenes...and there's plenty...
I think I liked it more because of the Details, rituals, costumes and because I have a morbid delight in following at least 3 different Plots unfolding at once {It satiates the A.D.D in me}..
Not for those who easily get lost, nor those who detest Subtitles {since the Dubbed version seriously reminded me of an early Bruce Lee film...If I see caption and the caption ends, and their lips keep going on and on and on, it gets slightly annoying.}
The primary Actors are good, as usual (their listed Movies here are Faves that I have or want to buy)
♦With Chow Yun Fat {Bulletproof Monk, Anna & The King , etc...}
Li Gong {Farewell My Concubine, Hannibal Rising, Memoirs of a Geisha, Raise the Red Lantern..etc..}
