What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than with a 3-D movie that uses the medium to artistic ends rather than as a bludgeon with which to bash you into a cinema seat. At least, that is the hope for (and if James Cameron is to be believed, the reality of) Ang Lee's adaptation of Life of Pi. It says something for the film that even a small 2-D snatch of action in the trailer immediately conjures the hyperreal state that envelopes readers of the very odd and remarkable book on which it is based.

What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than to recall the Communist paranoia of the 1980s with the long-delayed release of the pointless remake of Red Dawn.
