This latest effort from super studio Dreamworks is a CG-animated comedy about a lazy, irreverent slacker panda called Po, who must become a kung fu master in order to save his furry friends from the villainous snow leopard, Tai Lung. What it lacks in detail it makes up for in humorous sight gags, gleeful abandon and Jackie Chan.

Since directing the hilariously cynical Very Bad Things in 1998, Berg has been making gruff machismo efforts like Friday Night Lights and The Kingdom. This time he’s a bit more tongue-in-cheek as Will Smith plays a hard-living superhero who enlists the help of Jason Bateman’s PR guru to help repair his damaged public image. A joyfully irreverent and original take on the superhero genre.

The Duke of York’s continue their David Lean retrospective with this dramatic double bill. Great Expectations sees Lean tackle Charles Dickens in a highly atmospheric epic starring John Mills as the plucky orphan Pip and Jean Simmons as Estella. Madeleine, meanwhile, is based on the true story of Madeleine Smith, a young Glasgow woman who stood trial in 1857 for the murder of her lover. Both are tender efforts from a man who revelled in the darker reflections of human relations.

That wonderful Christian nutter C. S. Lewis gets his legacy mashed by Hollywood yet again. Following the atrocious 2005 adaptation, the Pevensie children return to Narnia, only to discover that hundreds of years have passed.
With the help of a heroic mouse called Reepicheep and the exiled heir to the throne, Prince Caspian, they set out to overthrow the evil king with the help of Aslan the talking lion. The CGI is wildly overblown but this is a significant improvement in the franchise.

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk
