MOVIES OUT FRIDAY

Mar 25 2007 By Mickey Mcmonagle

PATHFINDER (15)
Lord Of The Rings star Karl Urban stars in this all-action tale of a young Viking accidentally left behind after an attack on America. He grows up with a tribe of natives and leads their defence against renewed attacks.
Rating: ****

THE HILLS HAVE EYES 2 (18)
Why Hollywood felt the need to inflict this sequel on us I have no idea. This second vatload of blood and guts will appeal to the bloodthirsty lot who lapped up the first film - both times. Utter nonsense and uber-violent.
Rating: *

MR BEAN'S HOLIDAY (U)
The ever-irritating Mr Bean (Rowan Atkinson, above) heads to Cannes in a cringeworthy display of slapstick. I can see why kids go for this rubbish but any adults who enjoy it need help. Still, at least this one is in aid of Comic Relief.
Rating: *

MEET THE ROBINSONS (U)
The latest animated flick fails fairly miserably when it comes to appealing to adults but kids will lap it up. A boy invents a memory machine but somehow travels into the future and endangers a family he meets.
Rating: ***

THE NAMESAKE(12A)
This tale of an Indian family emigrating from Calcutta to Boston is surprisingly lightweight. Son Gogol adapts immediately, adopting an all-American lifestyle while daughter Ashima faces an arranged marriage.
