...retrofit adds nothing to Clash of the Titans, and may detract from the film's old-fashioned vigor, as audience's wait in vain for some big monsters-in-your-lap moment. (And it's rated PG-13 - unlike 300, its recent ancestor in the antique-Greek action genre - so the hacked-off-arm opportunities are also limited.) But at least this transfer to 3-D doesn't substantially darken the original image, as Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland did. More important, you don't need glasses or a bank loan to enjoy Clash. It's very watchable...

...Monsters vs Aliens and Up (plus 3-D transfers of the old hits Toy Story and Toy Story 2). Of the eight, half were animated features, one was a concert film, one the extension of a horror-movie franchise and the last two, Avatar and A Christmas Carol, live-action pictures in "performance capture" technology.

There looks to be no congestion...

...Warner Bros. has announced that all its epics and big action films - the final Harry Potter episode, the next Batman - will be made, or at least released, in 3-D. Sony's decision to go with a new creative team for the next Spider-Man sequel is said to be related to the studio's wish to have the Marvel hero do his cavorting in 3-D. Spielberg is in postproduction on his 3-D Tintin movie. Will other moguls dare make the next film in the Transformers or James Bond franchise in a flat-screen version? It's more...

...high drama or the florid flounce of high camp. Then we're on earth, in Argos, where the half-god Perseus, Zeus' bastard son, is incarnated by Harry Hamlin with a pouty air and the look of a Muscle Beach Andy Samberg. Under director Desmond Davis, the live-action scenes are stately, starchy, suffocating...
