Mini-Review: The mixing of live-action with animation is appreciated and Rebel Rabbit certainly seems to have more on its mind than your average Tune or Melody. Alas, that doesn't make it any funnier than the bulk of the rest.

Mini-Review: A somewhat confused, even absurd post-apocalyptic vision, The Book of Eli is nonetheless one of the worthiest of hit-and-miss Denzel Washington's recent career. Also escaping from the shadow of a recent nightmare, Mila Kunis works a supporting role with more meat than anything Aronofsky has thus far given her. The Hughes twosome behind the wheel have given us a passable piece of entertainment that doesn't quite match its aspirations.

Mini-Review: Tarantino's cultural insensitivity and fetishisation of acrobatic violence can be his best and worst facets, switching as they do from being revalatory to simply soul-destroying. Kill Bill: Volume 1's high point is with a devilish switch to animation -- a sequence of inspiration that is sadly not enough to redeem one overblown, masturbatory work of folly. Battle Royale and Love Exposure are much more natural, innovative works that embarrass QT's borrowed goods.
