KUNG FU PANDA 3 (PG) - Ardent fans of unlikely kung fu-fighting warrior Po will happily grin and panda bear this derivative yet breathlessly energetic third instalment of the computer-animated adventure series.Visually, Jennifer Yuh Nelson and Alessandro Carloni's picture is a black belt: bright colours saturate the screen, the 3D format is employed adroitly in gymnastic fight sequences and character detail has improved noticeably since Kung Fu Panda 2.However, screenwriters Jonathan Aibel and...

THE DIVERGENT SERIES: ALLEGIANT (12A) - Anyone who believes that Americans don't grasp irony should watch the third film in the Divergent saga, adapted from Veronica Roth's bestselling trilogy for young adults.While the series' gutsy heroine makes defiant speeches about individuality, Robert Schwentke's dystopian action adventure meekly surrenders to bland genre conformity.More so than ever, Allegiant languishes in the shadow of The Hunger Games, treading water for almost two hours before...

Joining a series just as it's about to come to an end doesn't sound like much of a career move, but Sacha Dhawan doesn't care - he's simply loved being a part of Mr Selfridge, even if it has been for a relatively short time."I'm so happy to be involved in the series, especially this part of Harry Selfridge's story," says the talented star. "My character is an instigator in his dramatic decline so it's really exciting. You don't get to see many Indian actors in period dramas so I...

Thoroughly Modern Millie, which opened at Rhodes in Stortford last night (Thursday), is a thoroughly thrilling concoction of brilliantly talented young actors tapping their toes and singing their story lines with aplomb in time with the pleasure of a live band playing their syncopated 1920s jazz.The play, which won six Tony awards when it premiered on Broadway in New York, is a trip back to 1920s in the Big Apple where go-getter Kansas girl Millie Dillmount arrives in search of a job, a husband...

"It's a question we all have to wrestle with at some point," says Stephen Mangan soberly. "Do you carry on after you die? Are the dead still with us in some way? Can they communicate with us? Is there such a thing as the paranormal? Are there psychics?"It seems an uncharacteristically serious opener for a stage and screen actor whose breakout role was as Adrian Mole in The Cappuccino Years on BBC One, and who's best known for appearing in comedies like Episodes and Green...

The 88th Academy Awards have been doled out to the winners and a new chapter of Hollywood history has been written, but for Dustin Hoffman, the central problem of this year's Oscars - the lack of diversity among the nominees - remains.Like Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith and director Spike Lee, who he joined up with while the ceremony was going on to watch a basketball game, Hoffman called out the committee for their all-white shortlist."I think we're slow to change in all regards,"...

Saturday, March 12An Ideal Husband (1999) **** (BBC2, 2.00pm)Rupert Everett employs his comic skills to the full to inject a life into Oliver Parker's star-studded adaptation of Oscar Wilde's play. The charming persona he adopted in My Best Friend's Wedding works equally well here. Everett plays Sir Arthur Goring, a self-confessed bounder whose ability to fix other people's problems is matched only by his inability to sort out the mess of his own life. Never one to turn down a challenge, Arthur...
