Decades after the last shot was fired, filmmakers continue to find intriguing narrative passages into WWII. The latest, Edward Zwick's Defiance, tells the true story of the Bielskis, three Jewish brothers who, in 1941, avoided capture by the Germans and fled to Poland's Lipicanzia Forest. Willing to help as many fellow exiles as possible, Tuvia (Daniel Craig), Zus (Liev Schreiber), and Asael (Jamie Bell) formed what eventually came to be known as the Otriad, a mobile community that grew to encompass 1,200 Jewish refugees. The Otriad provided food, shelter, safety, and a moderate sense of stability. There were rules and guidelines, which bred harmony and conflict. read the full review | |

 | | 7. Incredible Hulk (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Liv Tyler Tim Roth Director: Louis Leterrier | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/14/2009 |  | The Incredible Hulk - DVD Review By: Ed Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 10/20/2008 8:20 PM | | Reacting to the criticism that 2003's Hulk was too much "Bruce Banner Think" and not enough "Hulk Smash!" director Louis Leterrier crafts a nice compromise between the two. Edward Norton's Banner thinks and worries and tries to keep things under control until The Hulk comes out and starts picking up jeeps, tossing scrap metal at helicopters, and swatting away bullets and tranq syringes like so many gnats. The result doesn't stand up with the epic stories of Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark, but it's a nice way to kill two hours. read the full review | |

Painted Veil | | | Starring: Edward Norton Naomi Watts Director: John Curran | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/6/2008 | User Rating: 4 |  | The Painted Veil - DVD By: Franck Tabouring - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 5/12/2007 4:43 PM | | Director John Curran and screenwriter Ron Nyswaner guide their viewers through this relationship with care and precision, while emphasizing on solid character development and powerful dialogue. The Painted Veil does a wonderful job at capturing the emotions from Maugham's novel, a story about two individuals whose uselessness in a place far away from home is the only thing they have in common. read the full review | |
