Lord of the Rings III:

Return of the King

The last episode of the great epic and winner of 11 Academy Awards has finally hit town. It deals with the final war between man and the dark regions. Sauron's forces have laid siege to Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor, in their efforts to eliminate the race of men. Gandalf and Aragorn may be the last resort of humans and Frodo, the ring carrier, must face the trial of his "humanity" to determine the future of Middle Earth. English version with Chinese subtitles available.

Itchy Heart

A Hong Kong movie starring Lau Ching-wan and Carina Lau. As love and passion are eclipsed by time, a man has to choose between a fading love marathon and two intruders into his heart, his first lover and an obsessive girl. It is not a very romantic love story but depicts a true image of a mature man and an "itchy" heart.

Leaving Me, Loving You

Hong Kong romance starring pop diva Faye Wong, and Leon Lai, telling a love story between two modern white collars.

Fanfan, La Tulipe

A French romance starring Vincent Perez and Penelope Cruz.
