...thing, she's cute. Mega-endearing. Giga-dorable. From her gigantic almond eyes to the full lips that can crease into the world's biggest, brightest smile, she expresses direct, unvarnished emotion. She has the gift of communicating, subtly and immediately, a broad range of feelings: happy, hurt, stubborn, forlorn, any or all of these in a flash, with just a flick of her head, a sigh, a glance. Movie charisma may not be easy to analyze, but it's a cinch to spot. And when Zhao shares a scene with anyone?with Jiang Wen, China's De Niro...
Here, working with Human Nature director Michel Gondry, Kaufman wonders whether one person can be true to another, whatever obstacles pile up. On Valentine's Day 2004, Joel Barish (a wonderfully forlorn Jim Carrey) decides to skip work and--who knows why--take a train to Montauk on the frosty tip of Long Island. There he is accosted by free-spirited Clementine Kruczynski (Kate Winslet, ornery and seductive). She lures mopey Joel into an affair, which proves to have as many abrasive spots as soft ones.

TIME.comix first spotted Hornschemeier's work two years ago, with his amusing and experimental first issue. Now his graphic novel smartly puts formalism at the mercy of a serious story...
...This is a real Eastern Western: grizzled heroes enacting blood feuds in a gloriously forlorn landscape?the Taklimakan Desert?where the men ride camels as well as horses. Our outlaw hero has a familiar cohort of misfits: sassy kid, young woman, saintly monk and an old man with one last battle in him. I don't know if you can drawl in Mandarin, but Jiang Wen is sure-as-shootin' John Wayne, the gruff leader who tells his supporting-actor pals, "I don't want to turn your wives into widows," and rides off alone. (Of course they follow...
