The Rite
Weighed down by an overly earnest approach, this fails to tap into the crucial emotional element and subsequently ends up a dreary affair.

Closer to a comedy for adults than a kids’ flick, this ground-breaking and simply unmissable animation bursts with creativity, humour and clever references.

The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest
While the least satisfying instalment in the trilogy, this still throbs with a slow-burning tension and provides an appropriate farewell to a compelling series.

The Adjustment Bureau
Despite the thought-provoking premise and talent involved, this is let down by a lagging pace and a failure to elicit any real surprises.
