This week's new films

Tyrannosaur (18)
(Paddy Considine, 2010, UK) Peter Mullan, Olivia Colman, Eddie Marsan. 92 mins
Bad things happen to damaged people (and dogs) in this sparse kitchen-sink drama – almost too many bad things for one film to take, between Mullan's volatile drinker, Colman's abused wife and their vicious social circles. There's a redeeming spiritual dimension to the misery, thank God, and as you'd expect of an actor-turned-director, Considine gets incredible performances from his leads.
Midnight In Paris (12A)
(Woody Allen, 2011, Us) Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Kathy Bates. 94 mins
Not finding modern-day Paris to his romantic liking, Allen sends Wilson's tourist back to the fantasy 1920s version, and recruits familiar faces to play familiar cultural legends: (Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, etc). It's so unapologetically wistful, he gets away with it. The French will love it.
(Oliver Parker, 2011, Us/Fra/UK) Rowan Atkinson, Rosamund Pike, Gillian Anderson. 101 mins

Film Review: Following a Perfect 1994 Release, ‘The Lion King 3D’ a Money-Hungry, Manipulative Exploitation
17 September 2011 4:30 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – While “The Lion King” is one of the best Disney movies of all time, “The Lion King 3D” is a manipulative exploitation to bring paying parents back with their kids merely through the sexiness of today’s 3D fad.
Rating: 3.0/5.0
Disney’s 1994 version, which has and will continue to stand the test of time, was the highest-grossing animated film ever until 2003’s “Finding Nemo” from Disney and Pixar. That said, its 2011 release is lazy, underwhelming and a missed opportunity to up its already epic ante with more vivid colors, etc. Just making it 3D isn’t enough.
Many people don’t know the film is out now, and upon finding out, you’ll wonder: Is this an entirely new “The Lion King,” is it a rerelease without anything new or is this a reboot? Answer: Nothing’s new except that it’s being rereleased for the first time in 3D. »

Supervising animators Tony Bancroft and Mark Henn discuss The Lion King and its new 3D re-release
The Lion King comes roaring back to life on the big screen this weekend in a way you've never seen it before, in 3D. The animated classic will be in theaters for a two-week limited run starting on September 16 before making its debut on Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D on October 4. Recently I was invited to chat with some of the filmmakers behind The Lion King, and the last interview in this series is with animators Tony Bancroft and Mark Henn. They were primarily responsible for two of the main characters in The Lion King, with Tony Bancroft animating Simba and Mark Henn animating Pumbaa. Take a look at what they had to say about their experiences on this beloved Disney tale, and the new 3D conversion below.

Disney is opening its prized vault once again to re-release the animated classic The Lion King with a brand new 3D conversion, for a limited two-week run starting on September 16. The theatrical run will lead up to the Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D release on October 4, along with an eight-disc trilogy hitting the shelves as well. During the press day for this re-release, we were able to speak with the man most primarily responsible for the 3D conversion, stereographer Robert Neuman. He also served as the stereo supervisor on Disney's Bolt and Tangled before adding a third dimension to The Lion King. Here's what he had to say below.
Robert Neuman: We all know that 2D cinema has a rich history spanning more than a century, but 3D cinema has been around much longer than most people think. »

Director Rob Minkoff discusses The Lion King's 3D conversion, his thoughts on motion-capture, Chinese Odyssey, and more
Last month, I got to see one of the greatest animated movies of all time in a way I had never seen it before. Back in May, Disney announced that the 1994 classic The Lion King will be re-released in theaters with a brand new 3D conversion, for a limited two-week run starting on September 16. The Lion King will then make its debut in Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D on October 4, along with an eight-disc trilogy set as well. I was invited to a special early screening of The Lion King 3D, and a press day where we were able to speak with some of the filmmakers and artists responsible for this classic, and the new 3D conversion. While I'll hold off on my reaction to this new 3D experience, I thought I'd share »
