- Directed by: Steven Soderbergh
- Written by: Scott Z Burns
- Cast: Marion Cotillard, Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Bryan Cranston
Soderbergh revives the type of all-star disaster movie last seen in the 1970s with this sober account of a deadly virus which threatens the world's population. It lacks any central heart or focus, focusing on the bigger picture rather than clichéd dramatics.

- 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.

- 2011
- US
- 103 min
- U
- Directed by: James Bobin
- Written by: Jason Segel, Nicholas Stoller
- Cast: Jason Segel, Amy Adams, Chris Cooper, Rashida Jones
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.

- Directed by: Chris Miller
- Written by: Tom Wheeler, David H Steinberg, Brian Lynch
- Cast: Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Zach Galifianakis, Billy Bob Thornton, Amy Sedaris, Zeus Mendoza, Constance Marie, Guillermo del Toro, Bob Joles
Puss (Banderas) and Humpty Dumpty (Galifianakis) attempt to steal magic beans from Jack and Jill, with Hayek as feline accomplice Kitty Softpaws. Given the slackening quality of the Shrek franchise, the surprise is that this imaginative romp was one of the 2011's best animated family films.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

- US
- 129 min
- 12A
- Directed by: Guy Ritchie
- Written by: Kieran Mulroney, Michele Mulroney
- Cast: Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law, Noomi Rapace, Jared Harris, Stephen Fry
As Holmes and Watson face Professor Moriarty, Ritchie delivers a rather sluggish and unwieldy sequel to 2009's surprisingly successful adaptation. But there is still much to enjoy, including an impressive box of CG trickes, the ‘old married couple’ relationship between Holmes and Watson, Stephen Fry's game appearance as Holmes’ older brother Mycroft, and Hans Zimmer’s jauntily atmospheric score.

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

- 1999
- US
- 139 min

- 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.

- 2012
- 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.
