Mao's Last Dancer movie is a Australian biographical film, directed by Bruce Beresford, based on ballet dancer Li Cunxin's autobiographical book Mao's Last Dancer. Mao's Last Dancer movie plunges us deep into the heart of Mao's Cultural Revolution, where 11-year-old boy Li Cunxin, living in an impoverished mountain village, is selected to learn ballet at the Beijing Dance Academy. On a visit to China, an American ballet director Ben Stevenson is impressed by Li's talent and offers him a three-month stay in the US as an exchange student at his ballet school, the Houston Ballet. In 1979, during a cultural exchange to Texas, he fell in love with an American woman. Two years later, he managed to defect and went on to perform as a principal dancer for the Houston Ballet and as a principal artist with the Australian Ballet.

Are the phrases "Canadian Caper" and "Iranian Hostage Crises" sound familiar to you? If no, there is short excursion into the history. In 1979 the Iranian revolution escalates at new level. Angry crowds storm the embassies of the western countries in Tehran. Sixty six Americans were caught as hostages and were held for more than 400 days. However six US Diplomats managed to escape the fate of "victims of terrorism and anarchy" as per words of President Carter. Those lucky ones managed to find a shelter in Canada Ambassador's home. Realizing, that finding and killing all of them is only a question of time, CIA requests Antonio J. Mendez to design and implement an unbelievable rescue plan to bring those six Diplomats back home. The years after Antonio J. Mendez, a former CIA technical operations officer, writes a book lifting a curtain off this covert operation. And 33 years later after the "Iranian Hostage Crises" Ben Affleck releases his own movie, Argo, which he direct, co-produce (alongside with George Clooney) and where he plays the leading role, CIA Special Agent, Tony Mendez. As we can see, Ben hasn't look far for searching the appropriate actor for the main protagonist role, choosing himself for playing most toughest guy. Nevertheless, the other cast members were selected brilliantly: Bryan Cranston (Rock of Ages, Red Tails), John Goodman (Red State, The Artis and, funny fact, Sullivan Truck from Cars) and Taylor Schilling (The Lucky One, Mercy).

Centered at the political fight around Emancipation Proclamation, filmed by Steven Spielberg in 2012, Lincoln tell us a story of struggle of the Americas most known president against his enemies both on the civil war frontline and in lobbies and meetings. Focused to cancel slavery in America, Lincoln faces a horrible emotional stress, especially when it comes to controversies with his cabinet. The astonishing Joseph Gordon-Levitt performance as Robert Todd Lincoln and brilliant play of Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln are both overshadowed by pretentious play of Tommy Lee Jones as Thaddeus Stevens, which, of course, means that genius Steven Spielberg's ability to gather fantastic cast ensemble took place this time too. The film generously depicts president political and family life, showcasing him not only as a hero, but as an ordinary man faced to the most glorious challenge of his life in the dramatic circumstances when whole nation is divided into two opposing camps and the authorities are torn by serious contradictions.

You're innocent until proven otherwise. In some cases, proving another's innocence can be an inspiring life-long crusade. This is how real-life prisoners' rights advocate and lawyer, Betty Anne Waters inspired the Conviction movie. The 2010 Toronto Film Fest entry is a drama starred by Oscar winner, Hillary Swank, who plays as Betty Anne Waters—a single mother who went on to become a lawyer to prove his brother's innocence and bring him out of jail. Her brother, Kenneth Waters (Sam Rockwell) was wrongfully convicted for a murder in 1983. She struggled through law school and years of practice before she succeeded in his exoneration in 2001. The Conviction movie is set for a release in the U.S. on October 15, 2010.

Starring Meryl Streep as the intrepid Margaret Thatcher, The Iron Lady proves to be one of the most likely Oscar contenders to come along in quite a while. Thatcher was a tough Prime Minister and that was good because she reigned in particularly tough times. And this film depicts how very remarkable she was, how ambitious she was, and how she succeeded in a world full of strong men.argaret Thatcher was the Conservative Party leader from 1975 up until 1990 and the United Kingdom's Prime Minister from 1979 up to 1990. She was considered to be a war monger as well as a destroyer of the economy during her time of service. But there was far more to the woman than just her professional side and that's what this film is focusing on, her incredible strength and ability to triumph over the heavy odds against her. Being a woman made everything she accomplished all the more amazing and her accomplishments will long be remembered in the political history of the UK. Thatcher now reportedly suffers from Alzheimer's disease. It is interesting that an American actress is portraying a powerful leader in the UK, but if anyone can succeed it is Meryl Streep (Kramer vs Kramer, Silkwood, Momma Mia!).
