Trespass Home invasion thriller from Joel Schumacher starring Nicolas Cage, Nicole Kidman, Cam Gigandet, Nicole Kidman and Ben Mendelsohn and after a Gala screening at this years TIFF it had a limited run and now is hitting DVD.

(DVD release in November 26, 2011 in US) Snow Flower and Secret Fan Another one that's been high on my lists since it's theatrical release, this one follows two lifelong friends in 19th century China over many years.
