The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (out Apr 11) has had a rough time getting made (see the 2002 doco Lost in La Mancha) but it's finally been completed by director Terry Gilliam with Adam Driver and Jonathan Pryce in the lead roles. The novelty wears thin in the later stages but it's still an entertaining journey of film director and his relationship with an elderly man who believes he's a 17th century knight. Grade: B.

Missing Link (out Apr 11) is a fun, nuanced animated feature filled with great characters. It's the tale of a British explorer (voiced by Hugh Jackman) who teams up with an insecure, self-conscious Bigfoot on an adventure through the Himalayas. The stop-motion animation (mixed with digital backgrounds) is outstanding. A great choice for the school holidays. Grade: A-.

The Aftermath (out Apr 11) is a forgettable romantic drama set in post WWII Germany. Keira Knightley plays a woman who finds herself torn between her emotionless British husband and a widowed German soldier. I didn't care who she picked by the end. These are boring characters and I was never invested in their fate. Grade: C.

Wonder Park (out Apr 4) is an animated feature that bombards the audience with fast-paced, over-edited action pieces but fails to create an interesting, multi-layered story. Grade: C+.

Mid90s (out Apr 4) is a concise, gritty coming-of-age story from writer-director Jonah Hill. It's the story of a shy 13-year-old from a poor family who makes much needed friends after developing a love for skateboarding. Top performances. Grade: B+.

Shazam! (out Apr 4) is the 7th film in the DC Films extended universe and it introduces a new character - a teenager who inherits superpowers from an old, tired wizard which he must use to save the world. The villain is weak and the finale is too long but there's still a lot to like. The kid's exploration of his powers is the best part of the movie. Grade: B.

The Happy Prince (out Apr 4) dissects the final few years in the life of acclaimed playwright Oscar Wilde. Directed by, written by, and starring Rupert Everett, the film portrays Wilde as a man who was both smart and foolish. Grade: B.

Woman at War (out Apr 4) is a rich, quirky, intricate drama from Iceland. It's the tale of a strong-willed environmental activist who tries to sabotage the power supply of a local aluminium plant. The film beautifully illustrates the complexity of the world and the people who live in it. The use of music is fascinating. Grade: A-.

Galveston (out Apr 4) is a gritty drama about a cancer-stricken hitman (Ben Foster) who befriends a young prostitute (Elle Fanning) with a troubled past. This is an intense story with strong performances. Grade: B+.

Pet Sematary (out Apr 4) is based on the Stephen King novel and is the tale of a family who move into a new house and find some strange things in their expansive backyard. It's trying to delve into the way we cope with grief but I didn't find it scary or original. Grade: C+.
