This erotically charged sizzler from Oscar-winning director Ang Lee is a brilliant look at how the best-laid plans of freedom fighters during wartime can backfire, especially when sex with the enemy is a fundamental part of their deadly scheme.
The Painted Veil is a lushly photographed, costume-drama actor's piece, soggy in the second half from melodrama. It tries to unmask misguided attraction between two lovers in 1920's China, but it unravels under its own conceits.
Although Charlotte's Web suffers a little from Babe envy, it is still a very faithful and endearing live-action adaptation of the beloved children’s classic. It's the talking pig movie for the next generation!
