Baz Luhrmann, director of Moulin Rouge is no stranger to spectacle, but his latest offering Australia is a failed attempt at pulling off a David Lean-style sprawling epic. The film's a heady mix of many genres including romance, adventure and war, but rather than being old-fashioned and classic, it's old-school and melodramatic.

What a year it's been! A real mixed bag at the movies, what with some big disappointments and some truly marvellous gems. As is tradition now, each year I pick my five favourite films and the five films I hated the most -- The Hits and Pits of 2008. They're personal choices all, these are the films that made me smile and sulk. Irrespective of their box-office performance or the reviews they received, they played a lot on my mind -- either for the joy they gave me or for the pain I suffered on their account.

A typical coming-of-age drama told in a simple, straight style, Jumbo has some respectable animation, but lacks the edge that is required to make it an engaging enough watch. A far cry from those fantastic Hollywood animation films where top stars lend tics and quirks to create distinct characters out of their parts, Jumbo comes across as a rush job in terms of the voice work involved.

It's an old-fashioned entertainer with a half-convincing plot, packed with enough gratuitous violence to qualify as a B-movie really; and like the most popular B-movies ever, the biggest strength of Ghajini lies in the fact that it's a fast-moving roller-coaster ride that seldom gives you a moment to stop and think how stupid it might actually be.
