A part-live part-animated imagined sequel to Lewis Carrol's classics in which a 19-year-old Alice returns to a Wonderland which she must save from the Red Queen and Jabberwocky's reign of terror and then restore to the throne the much nicer White Queen.

Fantastic film adaptation of Mary Norton's classic children's story. John Goodman is superb as the odious property developer out to cheat the hapless Lenders of the house they've inherited, while the Borrowers, a family of four inch high sub-humans who live under the floorboards, face a furious fight to make sure that they, and their unwitting hosts, don't end up living in a cardboard box. Pretty far removed from the original story, and indeed the TV series, but mercifully unsentimental with som find out more...

Seth Rogen and James Franco made a stupid movie about North Korea because no one stopped them. With the assistance of Lizzy Caplan (who is occasionally funny) the duo journey to North Korea to kill Kim Jong-Un. It's not even really that it's an offensive film - though it may offend some - it's more that it's just a really bad film. And by that I meant boring, sloppy and not at all entertaining. But there are at least some rather good 'James Franco is a twatty TV show host' style scenes.
