Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Despicable Me (out Sep 9) is an animated film about a struggling villain who tries to pull off his most evil act yet – stealing the moon.  There are some fun moments and I’d recommend it for young kids over the school holidays.  That said, it’s a notch below the high benchmark set by other animated films this year such as How To Train Your Dragon and Toy Story 3.  Grade: B+.
