Hook (1991): A well–cast modern–day version of Peter Pan, with some clever effects that brings this fairy–tale to life. Most memorable are the eclectic band of 'lost boys' who, among all the big Hollywood names, really stole the show.
Crocodile Dundee (1986): A huge box–office hit in its day, about an eccentric crocodile poacher and his love interest – an Australian reporter. Aussie Outback meets New York City with more than a few laughs at their (the Americans) expense.
Kangaroo Jack (2003): Adventure in the Aussie Outback with two bumbling New Yorkers and a cheeky kangaroo. Highly predictable comedy that's only going to cut it with younger viewers even though the content is probably more mature than they'll understand.
Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince (2009): Dark forces gather over the wizarding world and it seems Lord Voldemort's rise to power is inevitable. Harry prepares himself for the battle that lays ahead, while romance is very much in the air. Fans of the series will be thoroughly impressed.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007): Returning to Hogwarts for his fifth year, Harry discovers that much of the wizarding community has been denied the truth about his recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort. A showdown awaits. Excellent fast–paced action.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005): Harry, now 14 years–old, has a new confidence as he and his friends leave childhood behind. Harry takes on the grueling Triwizard Tournament, an adventure thanks to some pretty cool special effects is pure entertainment.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004): It just keeps on getting better, in this third installment where Harry learns an escaped prisoner is coming for him. Much darker than the previous two, with even more creepy forces to contend with. A spellbinding ride that keeps you wanting more.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002): Harry returns to Hogwarts for his second year, with even more magic to learn and dark forces to battle. An improvement on the first installment with more action, humour and special effects.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001): Harry Potter finds out on his 11th birthday he is in fact a wizard, and trotts off to Hogwarts to find a nasty dark wizard is hell–bent on destroying him. Nice beginning to an enchanting tale.
Shrek Forever After (Shrek 4) (2010): An improvement on the third installment, the original gang are all back as Shrek's facing a mid–life crisis – and thanks to a devious Rumplestiltskin ends up in a strange parallel world. Imaginative conclusion to the tale.
