Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Date Location
(3 stars) A sunny spring day in Chicago is far too good to spend locked in a classroom so the irrepressible Ferris Bueller feigns a malady, cuts classes and promises his two best friends a day to remember. Characteristically Hughes teen comedy that scores with fresh dialogue and appealing characterisations, but has the drawback of some laboured farce and a misguided tendency to make meaningful statements.

Free Men (Les hommes libres)
Date Location
(3 stars) Younes (Rahim) is a young Algerian working in WW II Paris when the Germans enter; the authorities give him the choice between prison, or spying on a mosque suspected of smuggling out Jews disguised as Muslims. Ferroukhi's film is worthy, but lacks dramatic tension and a properly fleshed-out protagonist.

How I Spent My Summer Vacation
Date Location
(3 stars) A nameless crook (Gibson) crashes his car and is thrown into the sordid Tijuana prison El Pueblito. Star and co-writer Gibson revels in an enjoyable, controversy-free action-comedy with the zing of Lethal Weapon, that even the most ardent Mel-hater would find hard to dislike.

Invictus
Date Location
(3 stars) Based on a book by John Carlin, Invictus recounts how Nelson Mandela pulled off the political masterstroke of uniting a racially and economically divided South Africa in support of national rugby team the Springboks, once a symbol of Boer-ish oppression. This has a predictable trajectory but one leavened by minute details about the tedium of governance, ingrained prejudices and a belief that hope will always spring eternal.

Jeff, Who Lives At Home
Date Location
(3 stars) Jeff (Segel) is a sweet-natured thirtyish loser whose brother Pat (Helms) ropes him into tracking Pat's possibly adulterous wife (Greer). Diversion (rather than hilarity) ensues, and the film's tendency to elevate Jeff's charming hopelessness over the values of those awful people with jobs and families feels somewhat disingenuous and pandering.

The Lion King
Date Location
(3 stars) The first Disney animated feature to be based on an original story rather than a traditional folk or fairy tale, The Lion King retains all of the studio's markers: impeccable animation, jolly songs, colourful characters and a strong moral guideline. Solid family fare.

Man on a Ledge
Date Location
(3 stars) A disgraced former cop (Worthington) threatens to jump from a Manhattan rooftop, but it becomes clear to a police psychologist (Banks) that it's a distraction from a heist across the street. Leth nicely balances action, drama and humour, and a strong cast (notably Bell) lend more quality to the film than it probably deserves.
