'In the Land of Blood and Honey'

Release Date: Dec. 23 limited

Eager to extend beyond Brangelina, Oscar-winning actress and UN Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie tackles the Bosnia war in her first outing as director. Written by Jolie herself, 'In the Land of Blood and Honey' focuses on a Serbian soldier who re-encounters one of his Bosnian victims when she's held captive at his camp. A controversial relationship blossoms, and -- judging from the trailer -- this is far from your traditional war romance. -- Chris Jancelewicz
