Fate lends a hand by placing Renny in contact with one of the leading restaurants in Paris where, thanks to an unlikely alliance, he gets the chance to turn the culinary world in the French capital upside down. Along the way he learns the truth about friendship and family and faces one the biggest choices in life - being or not being yourself.

Bee Movie

A creative team headed up by Steven Speilberg and Jerry Seinfeld is promising, to say the least, and will hopefully take this animated feature above the more drone like offerings that increasingly appear in this genre.

After developing a friendship with a Big Apple florist, Barry comes to learn that humans eat a lot of honey. To him they are stealing from bees, and in his search for justice decides to sue the human race for their crimes. Starring alongside Jerry Seinfeld, who also co-wrote the script, are Renee Zellweger; Uma Thurman; Kathy Bates; Robert Duvall and Oprah Winfrey amongst others.
