Alice in Wonderland

British cinema

Put together Johnny Depp and Tim Burton, and you've got to be entering a world that will reflect the crazy world invented by Lewis Carroll.  This version sees a 19-year-old Alice return to the magical world from her childhood adventure, where she reunites with her old friends and learns of her true destiny: to end the Red Queen's reign of terror.  There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter.  Personally, I can't wait.

Sherlock Holmes

British cinema

Britain's favourite detective Sherlock Holmes and his stalwart partner Watson return in a battle of wits and brawn with a nemesis whose plot is a threat to all of England.  This is a new interpretation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's greatest character by Guy Ritchie, and Robert Downey Jr as Holmes and Jude Law as Watson pull out all the stops.  There are, believe it or not, stunts and special effects galore as Ritchie brings Holmes into the cinematic world of CGI.

A Christmas Carol

Another retelling of Charles Dickens' classic novel about a Victorian-era miser taken on a journey of self-redemption, courtesy of several mysterious Christmas apparitions, but this one's in 3D!  OK so that doesn't come across here, but go to your local iMax and it will blow your socks off!
