  • Directed by: Asger Leth
  • Written by: Pablo F Fenjves
  • Cast: Sam Worthington, Jamie Bell, Ed Harris, Elizabeth Banks

A disgraced former cop (Worthington) threatens to jump from a Manhattan rooftop, but it becomes clear to a police psychologist (Banks) that it's a distraction from a heist across the street. Leth nicely balances action, drama and humour, and a strong cast (notably Bell) lend more quality to the film than it probably deserves.

When Muppet fans Gary (Segel), his girlfriend Mary (Adams) and brother Walter (a puppet) learn that oil millionaire Tex Richman (Cooper) plans to demolish the Muppet theatre, it's time to reunite the original cast. If the plot could be fresher, the well-chosen guest stars, self-referential humour and old-school bonhomie should raise a smile.

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
  • 3 stars)
  • 1999
  • US
  • 139 min
  • U
  • Directed by: George Lucas
  • Cast: Ewan McGregor, Liam Neeson, Natalie Portman

On the surface, the plot structure of this limp prequel isn't a million light years away from the original Star Wars. At times you'd think there was more animation than live action on screen – and maybe it's this toning down of the human element that left the film lacking soul.

  • UK/Canada/Sweden
  • 95 min
  • 12A
  • Directed by: James Watkins
  • Written by: Jane Goldman, Susan Hill
  • Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Ciaran Hinds, Janet McTeer

A young lawyer (Radcliffe) arrives at a remote English village to conclude the estate of a dead woman; cue lots of shoogly windows, creaky floorboards and slamming doors. Despite smart production choices of screenwriter and director, and a commendable performance by Radcliffe, the movie is dull, old-fashioned and decidedly short on terror.
