We have come expect the stunningly detailed animation that we love from Studio Ghibli and this film is no exception, but maybe the story got a little lost in translation.

Two Line Review: Unleashed (2005)
A promising concept, with some brilliant fight sequences, but Jet Li doesn’t reach the emotional level needed to sustain believability.

Two Line Review: Ocean's Eleven (2001)
Headed by a star-studded cast, this film has an easy-going, fun, but unremarkable feel. A mildly-enjoyable action flick from Soderbergh that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Two Line Review: Quartet (2012)
Well acted from the four leads with nice moments of emotion from Maggie Smith and humour from Billy Connelly, but let down by a rather predictable plot.

Two Line Review: Kick Ass (2010)
Looks at the only two types of people that would become a superhero, and while the main attraction is high levels of violence and shock-comedy, this is a good quality stylish flick.
