A pack of highly-trained rodents voiced by an all-star cast managed to steal the spotlight from 'The Half-Blood Prince' in the United States this week — can it do the same here?

The genius behind 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' returns in another Greek comedy — 'My Life in Ruins'. Nia Vardalos is a Greek tour guide searching for her mojo.

We also bring you some of the latest Cinema Nouveau releases.

G-Force
Directed by Hoyt Yeatman
Voices of Nicolas Cage, Penelope Cruz
PG V
1 hr 26

The fate of the world is in the paws of a group of government-trained guinea pigs.

Beginning in the Civil War — when carrier pigeons delivered messages to and from the front lines — the American government has been covertly training animals to work in espionage. As part of the latest evolution of this covert program, the G-Force are all armed with the latest high-tech spy equipment.

The team of undercover rodents comprises Darwin, the squad leader who is determined to succeed at all costs; Blaster, an outrageous weapons expert with tons of attitude and a love for all things extreme; and Juarez, a sexy martial arts pro; plus the literal fly-on-the-wall reconnaissance expert, Mooch, and a star nosed mole, Speckles, the computer and information specialist.

The mission for this crack team of agents: to prevent an evil billionaire from taking over the world after he hatches a plan to gain control of the entire planet through common household appliances. And before it's too late, the G-Force must leap into action to ensure that he does not succeed.

My Life in Ruins
Directed by Donald Petrie
Starring Richard Dreyfuss, Nia Vardalos
PG
1 hr 31 min

From 'Miss Congeniality' director Donald Petrie and actress and writer of 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' Nia Vardalos comes a comedy about a travel guide who finds herself leading a rag-tag group of tourists around her native country while at the same time dreaming of that special something that will kick-start her life.

Georgia has lost her kefi (Greek for "mojo"). Discouraged by her lack of direction in life, she works as a travel guide, showing tourists the ancient and modern beauty of sun-soaked Greece.

However, strange things begin to happen for Georgia when, in opening the eyes of the tourists to an exotic foreign land, she too begins to see things in new ways — finding her kefi and possibly love in the process.

Heaven on Earth
Directed by Deepa Metah
Starring Vansh Bhardwaj and Preity Zinta
16LV
1 hr 45 min

Chand (Preity Zinta), a vibrant young woman, arrives in Canada from India to marry a man (Vansh Bhardwaj) she has never met. The minute she gets off the plane in Toronto to meet her new husband, Rocky, her life turns into a nightmare.

Rocky's coldness and horrific temper may be the primary causes of Chand's unhappiness, but he has numerous — albeit often passive — accomplices, most importantly his domineering mother.

Desperate and unable to contact her family, Chand turns to a fellow factory worker, Rosa, who gives her a magical potion that will make whoever drinks it fall in love with Chand immediately.

The Class (Entre les murs)
Directed by Laurent Cantet

'The Class' follows a year in the life of a high-school teacher working in a tough neighbourhood of Paris.

Rejecting the condescension that usually defines the genre, the film offers a study of the different ethnicities and cultures that populate the city.

Using a cast of non-actors, Cantet provides an authentic portrait of a classroom as both a group of individuals and a collective social space. With a fly-on-the-wall approach to dialogue and cinematography, the result is a film which won the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

An Education
Directed by Lone Scherfig

It is London in the early 1960s. Bright and ambitious, Jenny is on her way to Oxford, but feels stifled by her conservative parents and strict school, and yearns for a life of culture and sophistication.

When she meets the smart and funny David, who is considerably older than her, those passions are engaged — along with several others — but her grades soon start to slip.
