Legend of the Guardians: The Owls Of Ga'Hoole (2010)

Some of the best CGI in animation you'll be likely to see, this fantasy tale has a certain charm and a touch of 'Lord of the Rings' to it.

Toy Story 3 (2010)

Pixar knows if the toys ain't broke, don't fix 'em.

Janck 4 stars (Dec 2010)





Stunning sequel is entertaining from start to finish with unbelievably detailed HD animation. Pixar deliver another instant classic which is big on story, heart and emotion that leaves the competition lightyears away.

A Scanner Darkly (2006)

Drugs, government control and cat and mouse antics make for a heady, and trippy cocktail. Deliberately patchy, though visually impressive, the overall sense is still one of cinematic inertia. Hats off for trying something a little different though.
