Clint Eastwood assembles a cast of familiar been-around-the-block macho legends for a light-hearted look at space ageism which is fun, but never quite matures to its full potential.

Fearless pan-genre director Steven Soderbergh takes on both Stanislaw Lem’s sci-fi novel and Andrei Tarkovsky’s revered 1972 vision with mixed results. George Clooney and Natascha McElhone are strong, but the film wants to be too moving for its own good.

Woody Allen shows that he can still bake a light comic confection with this story of two lovable losers who find out they’re unlucky at crime, but lucky in love.

Director Tim Burton creates films with a visual texture that is palpable.

Writer, director and MAC enthusiast Kerry Conran’s four-year labor of love is a CGI spectacular which, despite eye-popping art direction and special effects, never quite takes off.
