Bee Movie
Bee Movie is a solid mix of comforting gags, clever language and a meandering plot that doesn’t seem to have enough gas to stretch out into a full feature.

Into the Wild
Into the Wild is a film to meditate on. It’s long, it’s not particularly fast-moving but it struck me in a carnal fashion.
101 Dalmatians
“Cute and cuddly” pretty much sums up this canine caper – once you get past the idea of a lady looking to make a coat out of dalmatian puppies.
Beowulf
Robert Zemeckis’ take on Beowulf is a marvel visually but eye-popping effects are still no challenge for good old-fashioned human emotion.
Nights in Rodanthe
A movie that looks and sounds a whole lot bigger than it actually is.
Becoming Jane
Even though it looked great and was moderately engaging, something was also always missing.
Gone Baby Gone
The reason why Gone Baby Gone works so well is the attention to which Boston is portrayed. The urban neighbourhood is like another character in an already strong cast, one that has needs and desires just like everyone else.
The Aristocats
The Aristocats is largely an up-scale cat version of 101 Dalmatians minus the deliciously dastardly villain.
Cloverfield
Cloverfield brings chaos and terror in one of the most memorable American monster films in some time.
Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight
A poorly animated tale that offers little new to the genre or the Dungeons and Dragons franchise in which it is based.
