Simon Brew
It’s like Fight Club on ice at times, with every slug, every drop of blood and every beating heavily focused on

Is 3D getting better, and what does it add to the movie watching experience?
Mark Harrison
From a personal standpoint, I would look to Joe Dante's The Hole and the far more anarchic Jackass 3D for the best uses of live-action 3D on the big screen

The James Clayton Column: Scorsese saves Christmas
James Clayton

James Cameron reportedly said that Hugo’s 3D is the best he’s ever seen, and he may be right – this is 3D used to heighten our sense of wonder rather than paper over storytelling cracks.
