• The Founding Of A Republic (DVD) (English Subtitled) (China Version) DVD Region 6 Tang Guoqiang (Actor) | Zhang Guo Li (Actor) | Leon Lai (Actor) | Andy Lau (Actor)

  2009 marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC), and a host of films were specially made to commemorate the occasion. Among those films, The Founding of a Republic is the undisputed centerpiece of the lot, due mainly to its epic scope and the magnitude of talents involved in the production. Produced under the banner of the state-run China Film Group and its director Han Sanping, the ambitious project is helmed by Fifth-Generation director Huang Jianxin (Gimme Kudos) from a script by Wang Xingdong (The One Man Olympics). The historical epic chronicles the Chinese civil war from 1945 to 1949, during which the Chinese Communist Party overthrew the rule of Kuomintang and eventually established the PRC. The film opened in Mainland two weeks before the October 1st National Day, and the strong buzz has powered the film to stunning grosses at the box office. By its fifth weekend, this unstoppable juggernaut has raked in over RMB400 million to become the highest-grossing Chinese film of all time. Perhaps what makes The Founding of a Republic such an attention grabber and commercial triumph is the huge ensemble cast that has come together under the great patriotic cause this movie represents. Over a hundred big-name Chinese showbiz personalities get starring roles in the event film, including many international superstars that reportedly make cameo appearances for free. Occupying the main roles are Tang Guoqiang (playing Mao Zedong), Zhang Guoli (Chiang Kai Shek), Xu Qing (Soong Ching Ling), Vivian Wu (Soong Mei Ling), Aloys Chen (Chiang Ching Kuo), Liu Jin (Zhou Enlai), Wang Wufu (Zhu De), and Wang Xueqi (Li Tsung Jen). In supporting parts there are Jet Li, Zhang Ziyi, Vicki Zhao, Huang Xiaoming, Liu Ye, Guo Xiaodong, Tong Dawei, Ge You, Hu Jun, Zhang Hanyu, Chen Hao, Ning Jing, Eva Huang, Chen Daoming, and Jiang Wen. Add to the mix popular Hong Kong movie stars like Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Leon Lai, Donnie Yen, Tony Leung Ka Fai, and the stargazing still doesn't end there - even A-list directors Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang are onboard taking rare turns in front of the camera!

• The Message (DVD) (China Version) DVD Region 6 Zhou Xun (Actor) | Zhang Han Yu (Actor) | Wang Zhi Wen (Actor) | Li Bing Bing (Actor)

  Directed by Chen Kuo Fu (Double Vision) and produced by Feng Xiaogang, The Message sends out the spies and the stars for a stellar wartime suspense thriller. Set in 1942 Nanjing when parts of China were under Japanese control, the beautifully shot blockbuster rounds together acclaimed actor Zhang Hanyu (Assembly), Taiwan star Alec Su, and top actresses Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing, who are both nominated for Best Actress at the 46th Golden Horse Awards, to play suspected freedom fighters caught in a cruel closed-room battle of wits. Huang Xiaoming (The Sniper) makes a steely turn as a Japanese general desperate to sniff out the spy. Navigating bloody twists and psychological turns with visual flair, The Message keeps viewers at the edge of the seat with compelling character drama and an escalating cat-and-mouse game of national urgency. Deep in the Japanese counter-insurgency office, there's a spy codenamed Phantom who's been passing information to the Chinese Resistance. Japanese colonel Takeda (Huang Xiaoming) has narrowed the suspects down to five people who saw the false intelligence he circulated as a trap: brusque general Wu (Zhang Hanyu), effeminate lieutanent Bai (Alec Su), portly administrator Jin (Ying Da), codebreaker Li (Li Bingbing), and sassy telegraph operator Gu (Zhou Xun). With his name resting on the investigation, Takeda transports the five suspects to an outskirt castle, and sets them against each other. Phantom is racing against time to get news about the false intelligence to the Resistance, but Takeda will stop at nothing to torture the truth out of them.
