James M Barrie is a lonely man, in a failing marriage, and a playwright whose work has seen better days. When Barrie meets a group of children in the park he finds himself enchanted, and it is not long before he has settled deep within the bosom of their family life, a loving matriarchy held together by the children's young widowed mother. Finding Neverland is based on the play by Allan Knee, and is a tender, deeply moving interpretation of Barrie's inspiration for "Peter Pan". Beautifully perf

LORD OF THE RINGS THE TWO TOWERS (2002)
Certification12 Our Rating
It all really kicks off in Jackson's adaptation of Tolkien's second book; Frodo and Samwise team up with Gollum in their continuing quest, Aragorn's posse prepare for a last stand at Helmsdeep, the Ents get energised and a mighty new white wizard emerges from the forests. The Two Towers has a darker vision than The Fellowship but Tolkien's work remains very much intact, a sweeping epic, both moving and visually mind blowing. Some of the battle scenes are so powerful they defy description, tho

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL (2003)
Certification12 Our Rating
Captain Jack Sparrow has lost nearly everything; his treasure, his beloved boat, even his treacherous crew. What Jack hasn't lost however is his roguish charm, envious self-belief and a single minded determination that what was once his will become his again. 'Pirates of the Caribbean' also has true love, much righteous daring do and a ship full of the undead, but this high seas romp is made by Johnny Depp's hilariously roguish pirate; a comic tour de force and a rip-roaring adventure to boot.

SHREK (2001)
CertificationU Our Rating
Shrek is an Ogre who lives in contented anonymity in his swamp, but the threat of losing his home forces the reluctant beast to set off an adventure to rescue a tougher than old boots damsel in distress, closely followed by a particularly gobby donkey. Shrek effectively carries on the fine tradition began by 'Toy Story', stunning computer animation tied to a story that's apparently for kids but which has a script that's knowing, witty, loaded with in-jokes and squarely aimed at the adults. Good
