Looks great, moves like a steam roller with a flat tyre

While in Paris with his wife-to-be (Rachel McAdams) he finds he can time travel back to the 1920s and mix with artistic greats such as Hemingway, F Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, Picasso and Salvador Dali. He, of course, falls for his guide (Marion Cotillard) and starts to doubt his happiness with his present-day betrothed. It passable Woody waffle designed strictly for fans; the great cast, which also includes Michael Sheen, Kathy Bates and Adrien Brody, shine in their too-small roles, with Wilson working his amiable persona for all it worth. A nice time-killer, but far from Woody Allen A-list films, such as Match Point (2005), Bullets Over Broadway (1994) and Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008). Select. MONEYBALL (133 min) MThe key reason American cinema rules when it comes to sport movies is because they often have less to do with sport and more to do with rich metaphors about life, society, religion and all-consuming passion. The superb, sedate, Oscar-bound Moneyball is merely the latest example, offering a prime cut of fact-based sports drama about a struggling baseball team that creates a hot new line up by using bold statistical analysis. In one of his best performances to date, Brad Pitt plays Billy Beane, the manager of the Oakland Athletics baseball team who up-ends the organisation's modus operandi by poaching Peter Brand (Jonah Hill, in a career highlight) a pudgy number cruncher. He explains the formula that will allow Beane to buy under-valued players at bargain prices. This, of course, means letting go of existing members, a task Brand is forced to learn as part of his initiation into the brutal baseball world where trades and wins count more than loyalty. What makes this downbeat, beautifully shot drama so immersive is how the movie's universe is defined almost totally in baseball terms, where the Rosetta Stone Hindigame means everything. Based on the best-seller Michael Lewis and directed by Bennett Miller (Capote), the screenplay is by Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network; The West Wing) and Steve Zaillian (Schindler's List; American Gangster). The painterly cinematography by Wally Pfister (Inception; The Dark Knight) uses the natural lighting techniques pioneered by Gordon Willis (The Godfather), making each frame glow. General.MONTE CARLO (109 min) PG Selina Gomez is the star of this film. If that fact alone does not instantly fill your soul with boundless joy then youre clearly not the key demo for this pleasantly forgettable tween-geared, assumed-identity romantic comedy romp. The baby-faced Gomez (best-known for the TV show The Wizards of Waverly Place and as BFF of Camp Rock Demi Lovato) plays Grace, a disgruntled kid from a dysfunctional blended family who goes on a European jaunt with two companions (Nightmare on Elm Street Katie Cassidy; Gossip Girl Leighton Meester). Grace switches places with spoilt rich British aristocrat Cordelia Winthrop Scott (also played by Gomez, and the most interesting thing in the film) and pretends to be her so they can trek to Monte Carlo - shot in tourist-boosting splendour - and live it up. They each become entangled with guys, including an Australian backpacker, while grappling with their consciences and the inevitability of being found out. The girls are bubbly, attractive and bring a pleasing comic daffiness to their turns. Harmless tween multiplex mulch for 14 year olds. General.NORWEGIAN WOOD1/2 (133 min) Endless, punishingly dull tale of love, loss, regret and suicide. Vietnamese director Anh Hung Tran (the brilliant Cyclo; the lyrical The Scent of Green Papaya) appears to have made a film specifically for the lovers of the Haruki Murakami novel on which the film is based.
