Date Location
Molly Mahoney (Portman) is the awkward and insecure manager of Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium, the strangest and most fantastic toy store in the world. But when Mr Magorium bequeaths the store to her, a dark and ominous change comes over the Emporium. Besides the irresistible high of seeing Portman finding her witchcraft, nothing has much resonance here. It's all bright surfaces with nothing behind them, and the result is flat and inconsequential.

Sex and the City: The Movie
Date Location
A few years on from packing away the series, the characters are back and fleshed out, the individual angst of each woman realised enough to engage even the hardened cynics. Like life however, the film isn't perfect, the beginning recap is clumsy, the ending is rushed, and the version of feminist power and female solidarity the film peddles is slightly simplistic.
