synopsis
At the height of China’s Warring States period, the country was divided into seven kingdoms: Qin, Zhao, Han Wei, Yan, Chu and Qi. For years, the separate kingdoms fought ruthlessly for supremacy. As a result, the populace endureddecades of death and suffering. The Kingdom of Qin was the most determined of all. The Qin King was obsessedwith conquering all of China and becoming her first Emperor. He had long been the target of assassins throughout the other six states. Of all the would-be killers, none inspired as much fear as the three legendary assassins, Broken Sword, Snow and Sky.To anyone who defeated the three assassins, the King of Qin promised great power, mountains of gold and a private audience with the King himself. But defeating the killers is a near impossible task. For ten years no one came close toclaiming the prize--that is until Nameless, a solitary ranger with a mysterious past, steps out of the shadows looking for a showdown.

It didn't come out this year, but there was actually a Chinese movie called Hero, which I really loved. It stars Jet Li, one of my all-time favorite kung-fu guys [who starred in Romeo Must Die], and Zhang Ziyi, who played the girl from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon -- and a couple of other pretty famous actors from Hong Kong [Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Maggie Cheung]. Honestly, I've probably watched that movie more than thirty times this year alone.
