Beowulf: Robert Zemeckis has produced a thrilling, heroic and hilarious adaptation of the Old English epic about a warrior out to slay the monster Grendel. The visual presentation - 3-D motion-control animation - is jaw-dropping, but it never detracts from the story.

Death at a Funeral: A big dysfunctional family (Matthew Macfadyen, Rupert Graves, Jane Asher) falls apart at a funeral. It's a good-old fashioned farce, smartly conceived and executed.
