10 of winter's most intriguing movies
Human endurance has long been the movies' supreme subject. Already, with the recent release of the wrenching new feature "Precious," we have traveled to hell and back with a 16-year-old incest survivor. More sexual violence is coming our way, with director Peter Jackson's adaptation of "The Lovely Bones," which promises a poetic vision of the afterlife as experienced by a young girl raped and murdered by a neighbor. Happy holidays!
Some of the winter season's most intriguing titles play directly into this stark view of humanity. Others offer a break, and the promise of a laugh or two. Dates are subject to change.

"Broken Embraces," opens Dec. 25 in Chicago
The latest, lavishly good-looking melodrama from Pedro Almodovar, starring Penelope Cruz, his muse of choice. No one mixes and matches genres with the panache of Spain's premier director.
