The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008) – on rental. The Spiderwick Chronicles was the second of a pair of modern fantasy-esque films that we caught over a weekend ago. And if Pan’s Labyrinth was unconventionally for adults, Spiderwick is its traditional equivalent

Juno (2007) – on rental. Alongside Nanny McPhee, Juno was the other film to arrive through rental. The film won heaps of critical praise, though like so many other near or indie-esque films, I missed it during its theatrical run

Nanny McPhee (2005) – on rental. Back in Perth on weekday evenings there was a TV show called Supernanny. Basically, the reality TV-esque series had professional nanny Jo Frost helping families with misbehaving and out-of-control children get a grip on
