A previously pampered society mouse must fight his way back to the comforts of Kensington after he is sent spiraling into an underground world filled with scavenger rats and villainous toads in a fun-filled family adventure produced by DreamWorks Animation and Aardman Features and featuring the voices of Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Ian McKellen, and Jean Reno. Roddy (Jackman) was living the high life when he first met Sid the sewer rat (Shane Richie), but that's all about to change when Sid decides to send the hapless mouse down the pipes and stealthily take his place in the lap of luxury. Though the bustling sewer city of Ratropolis isn't without its fair share of kind citizens, it is certainly no place for a pampered mouse with a taste for life's finer things. Upon making the acquaintance of scavenger rat Rita (Winslet), Roddy is certain that the pair can navigate their way back to the surface in Rita's trusty boat, the Jammy Dodger, but Rita's help doesn't come cheap, and the nefarious Toad (McKellen) is determined to rid Ratropolis of all things rodent. When Toad's hapless hench-rats Spike (Andy Serkis) and Whitey (Bill Nighy) fail to achieve acceptable results, the green meanie is forced to call in the cavalry in the form of legendary French mercenary Le Frog (Reno) to get the job done. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A woman's past and present meet in one dangerous place in this tense British thriller. When she was only four years old, Michelle Wallace stood by helplessly as her mother was sadistically murdered, and as she's grown to adulthood, Michelle still carries emotional scars from the trauma. Now in her early twenties, Michelle (Rosie Fellner) is hoping to find a flat with her boyfriend, but in the meantime she rents a room in a decaying boarding house, where she's struck up a friendship with Charles Paskin, a middle-aged man living down the hall. Unknown to Michelle, Charles is actually a British intelligence agent with a license to kill, and he's currently involved in a secret mission to recover highly confidential files that have been stolen. Michelle unwittingly becomes involved in Charles' dangerous game when it's discovered there may be a link between the agents with the stolen files and the thugs who killed her mother. Distant Shadow also stars Stephen Tiller, Trevor Byfield, and Andrew Faulkner. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Devised by actors Burt Reynolds and Bert Convy, the American TV game show Win Lose or Draw was strikingly similar to the board game Pictionary. On each episode, celebrity contestants tried to guess a name or phrase using hastily drawn sketches as clues (one TV historian described the program as "Jeopardy with pictures"). The British version of Win Lose or Draw premiered in 1988, one year after the American original, and lasted until 1995, thereby outliving its role model by five years. Danny Baker was the first host for the British edition, succeeded by Shane Richie and then Bob Mills. A daytime children's version of Win Lose or Draw surfaced on British TV in 1993, with Darren Day as emcee. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
