Search: Starring Billy Crystal

The movie is fun, without being furious.

Settle in for the Bill & Bob Show. They're back and they're better.

De Niro and Crystal are terrific, none the less, and Harold Ramis directs with assurance.

It lays the emotion on so thickly that now, at a distance from the death, it begins to feel uncomfortably hagiographic. It's a relief when speakers recall snippets of Ali's humour, always essential to keeping the rest in proportion.

Being prolific implies over-exposure and repetition. Not with Allen. He gets better. He takes more risks.

The subtlety comes from Crystal's underplaying, although the rat-a-tat-tat ad-libs and improv one-liners slow the movie down.

By this point in his career, Ken Branagh had found his voice and a set of skills to match his confidence.

The central pairing is the beating heart of Crystal's film and he knows it.

Anime at its very finest - lightning paced, visually stunning, feverishly creative and overrun by a logic all its own.

Pixar cares enough to choose the best scriptwriters, the best voice talent, the most innovative animators.

It's not that the new crowd aren't fun, but they're a distraction from those of us who would prefer to spend more time with the best buddy double-act in the Pixar universe.

See Billy Crystal's name in a line-up like this and you probably expect wise-cracking comedy, but in fact this is a rare straight role for the actor and it illustrates what he's capable of when he really gets to flex his acting muscles.

A truly rare opportunity to take a very personal journey into the life of one of Hollywood’s greats.
