It's been two full months since a big 3D toon and a horror film hit the multiplexes so fans of both types of entertainment will rejoice on Friday from the openings of the Disney-Pixar animated adventure Up and Universal's fright flick Drag Me to Hell. For its tenth animated feature in fourteen years, Pixar goes 3D with its grumpy old man comedy Up which tells of an elderly widower and a young boy who partake in a cross-continental adventure in a flying house.

Cannes 2009: The Tomato Report - Gilliam Fails to Impress with Parnassus
Critics in Cannes were amongst the first, yesterday, to see Heath Ledger's final performance in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, the fantasy flick that was long-delayed due to his death, played at the festival.

Christopher Plummer plays the Doctor, while Ledger stars as a suicidal soul he meets along the way.
