Kung Fu Panda
family

Enthusiastic, big and a little clumsy, Po is the biggest fan of Kung Fu around... which doesn't exactly come in handy while working every day in his family's noodle shop. Unexpectedly chosen to fulfil an ancient prophecy, Po's dreams become reality when he joins the world of Kung Fu and studies alongside his idols, the legendary Furious Five - Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey -under the leadership of their guru, Master Shifu.

But before they know it, the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung is headed their way, and it's up to Po to defend everyone from the oncoming threat. Can he turn his dreams of becoming a Kung Fu master into reality? Po puts his heart - and his girth - into the task, and the unlikely hero ultimately finds that his greatest weaknesses turn out to be his greatest strengths.


As You Like It
comedy

Rosalind (Bryce Dallas Howard) goes to live with her cousin Celia (Romolai Garai) when her father, Duke Senior, is usurped of his throne by his brother, Duke Frederick, Celia's father. Duke Senior flees to the Forest of Ardenne with his loyal followers. While strolling through the forest, Rosalind meets Orlando, who has likewise been treated poorly by his brother, Oliver. Rosalind and Orlando fall instantly in love. Rosalind is subsequently thrown out by her uncle and she and Celia flee to the forest - Rosalind disguised as a boy named Ganymede while Celia pretending to be a girl named Aliena.

They meet up with Orlando, who doesn't recognise Rosalind and confides his lovesickness to her. Still pretending to be Ganymede, she promises to cure him of his lovesickness if he pretends she is Rosalind and woo her. Meanwhile, a woman named Phoebe rejects the advances of Silvius when she falls in love with Ganymede.

Wanted
action

Twenty-five-year-old Wes (James McAvoy) was the most disaffected, cube-dwelling drone the planet had ever known. His boss chewed him out hourly, his girlfriend ignored him routinely and his life plodded on interminably. Everyone was certain this disengaged slacker would amount to nothing. There was little else for Wes to do but while away the days and die in his slow, clock-punching rut.

Until he met a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie).

After his estranged father is murdered, the deadly sexy Fox recruits Wes into the Fraternity, a secret society that trains Wes to avenge his dad's death by unlocking his dormant powers. As she teaches him how to develop lightning-quick reflexes and phenomenal agility, Wes discovers this team lives by an ancient, unbreakable code: carry out the death orders given by fate itself.

With wickedly brilliant tutors - including the Fraternity's enigmatic leader, Sloan (Morgan Freeman) - Wes grows to enjoy all the strength he ever wanted. But, slowly, he begins to realise there is more to his dangerous associates than meets the eye. And as he wavers between newfound heroism and vengeance, Wes will come to learn what no one could ever teach him: he alone controls his destiny.
