  • All of Disney's future animations to be 3D

    Animation wizard John Lasseter has seen the future and it's 3D. All of Disney's future animated features will be in 3D, Lasseter said in New York last week when he introduced footage from the studio's line-up for the next four years.

  • HAPPY-GO-LUCKY

    Mike Leigh's latest is an unusually frivolous knockabout comedy, writes Donald Clarke

  • STREET KINGS

    WHEN detectives are the principal characters in contemporary US thrillers, they are almost invariably moulded from the same prototype: the hard-drinking loner without a partner in his personal life, with a maverick approach to dispensing justice, and on a rocky road to redemption.

  • FOOLS GOLD

    THE LAST thing you want to encounter when you're feeling miserable is a bunch of people conspicuously having a whale of time. That sense of resentment is heightened when the revellers - let's call them Kate, Matt and Donald - were the cause of your unhappiness in the first place.

  • BOTCHED

    EVEN in April, when the film industry uses our brains to scrape the filth from its boots, it's rare to come across a picture quite so atrocious as this mind-boggling horror comedy. At the screening I attended, hardened veterans were poking themselves in the eyes with sharp pencils to confirm they hadn't fallen asleep and drifted into a land of scare-free nightmares.

  • FLASHBACKS OF A FOOL

    IF YOU'RE in the mood for Generic 1970s Coming-of-Age Movie #3, then you might like to take a glance at the debut feature from Bailie Walsh.

  • WATER LILIES/NAISSANCE DES PIEUVRES

    IN THE frenzy of film festivals, as reviewers seek out new talent to write home about, it often happens that movies are given more credit than they are due. Such was the case last year when Water Lilies screened in a sidebar section at Cannes and its 27-year-old debutante writer- director, Céline Sciamma, was garlanded with critical laurels.
