Unknown (2011)

Thriller by numbers is reassuringly Hollywood and entertains on its own merit. How many Takens/Unknows Liam Neeson will now typecast himself from here on is the only real known unknown.

Up in the Air (2009)

Sharp and witty, what's not to like?

Janck 4 stars (Jan '10)




Top flight drama with a 'just doing my job' George Clooney and a star-stealing performance from Anna Kendrik who was Oscar nominated in this role. Clever, fresh, recommended.

Up (2009)

Pixar's latest animation is heavy on emotion, but falls slightly short of the hype. Enjoyable romp, but not as good as some of its predecessors.
