  • Asterix And Obelix In Britain (2012)
    Review preview for Asterix And Obelix In Britain

    With enjoyable performances, particularly from Lacoste and Gallienne and a decent stab at an 'importance of friendship' message underlying the laughs, Asterix is pleasant company, even if this isn't quite as magic as his potion.

  • Mammuth (2010)

  • A Town Called Panic (2009)
    Review preview for A Town Called Panic

    A Town Called Panic is a truly postmodern concoction, where, along with the village's properties, narrative norms are deconstructed brick by brick, as free associations and visual gags come thick and fast, offering a surreal jaunt through toy town.
