What to see this weekend:

Gong Li is the star of "Curse of the Golden Flower"

Curse of the Golden Flower. This movie is for those who loved the films, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Memoirs of a Geisha." Gong Li starred in 'Memoirs of a Geisha' as Hatsumomo. Gong Li has potential to become the next big crossover Asian actress in Hollywood tahnks in part to the successes of Lucy Liu, Ziyi Zhang, and Michelle Yeoh. Curse of the Golden Flower's summary: 'A period high drama that concerns the volatile balance of power between the King and the Queen and his three sons, which entails betrayal, deceit and passion--pitting the King against Queen and father against sons." Go catch this movie. Want more proof why you should see this. Then watch the trailer.
