The Kite Runner (12) May 31 2008

Bee Movie (U) May 17 2008

THIS DreamWorks' animation really is a B-movie so it should only be seen by uncritical younger viewers. Dazzled by the bright colours, they'll hardly notice the weak script. Co-writer Jerry Seinfeld voices Barry B Benson, a high-flying college graduate who is set for a boring life with Honex, his hive's honey-making corporation. Taking a trip into the outside world with his fellow 'pollen jocks', Barry is dazzled by the flower box of florist Vanessa Bloome (Renee Zellweger) before he ends up having to try to save the bee world.Read

Sleuth (15) Apr 26 2008

ADAPTED by Harold Pinter from Anthony Shaffer's original adaptation of his own play, Sleuth 2007 is a very illadvised remake by Kenneth Branagh. Stepping into Michael Caine's old shoes, Law plays Milo Tindle, an actor visiting a brutalised, gadget-ridden mansion. Contemplating the effect of losing his wife, author Andrew Wyke (now played by Caine stepping into Laurence Olivier's role) offers his younger love rival a dodgy diamond deal.Read

The Golden Compass ( pg) Apr 26 2008
