This remarkably beautiful film, which features the incredible Cirque du Soleil performers, is the latest 3D IMAX film to hit theatres.  If you're able to ignore the cheesy narration from X-Men’s Sir Ian McKellen (he drones on and on about the celebration of the human spirit and the keys of life), you’ll probably dig Journey of Man.

There isn’t much of a plot, but rather a half-dozen performances that range from drumming cavemen to synchronized swimmers to gravity-defying acrobats - all performing amidst gorgeous backgrounds, like Big Basin State Park in California.  Just don’t feel gypped by the extremely short running time - if you calculate the price per minute, it’s about four times the cost of a regular film.  (0:39 - )

 
James Woods stars as Jack Crow, the fearless vampire killer whose parents were killed by, you guessed it, vampires. In particular, Crow is hunting a master bloodsucker called Valek, who is after a sacred cross that will make him and his clan invincible. At one point, Crow’s sidekick describes Valek as "a force unstoppable…unless we stop him." It really can’t get much worse than that. But the effects are cool and the film is wealthy with carnage. (1:42 – for nudity, extreme language and excessive bloody violence)
