Welcome to the eleventh edition of the Focus Podcast!

The FOCUS podcast is a monthly round up of new cinema releases in the UK, punctuated by clips and the occasional interview. Check www.focusonmovies.co.uk for further details.

The January 2010 instalment heralds the return of Woody and Buzz in a remastered 3D release of Toy Story 2, and welcomes the impending arrival of Disney's latest animated film The Princess & The Frog. Elsewhere feisty folk story heroine Red Riding Hood returns in Hoodwinked Too! Hood Vs Evil.

Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker play a married couple experiencing crisis in Did You Hear About The Morgans?, while It's Complicated tells of the far from straightforward relations between divorced characters portrayed by Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin. Familial bonds are also tested in the emotional drama The Boys Are Back, starring Clive Owen.

We talk about Sandra Bullock's latest romantic comedy All About Steve, and the coming of age comedy Post Grad, as well as Ashton Kutcher's LA set gigolo tale Spread. Andy Serkis turns in a stunning performance as Ian Dury is Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll, and Viggo Mortensen reveals some of the background to his work in post apocalyptic tale The Road. This dystopian view is also reflected in the Denzel Washington actioner The Book of Eli, while a daring heist gone wrong occupies the thoughts of the characters in Armored.

A selection of Golden Globe nominated films are released in January, among them the George Clooney hit Up In The Air directed by Jason Reitman; we hear from leading lady Vera Farmiga about the experience of working with him. The acclaimed American drama Precious: A Novel by Sapphire is featured too, as is The Lovely Bones directed by Peter Jackson who also talks to us about his approach to filming Alice Sebold's novel.

There really is a huge selection of films out there, from the high quality Mel Gibson thriller Edge of Darkness, to the visceral action of Ninja Assassin; from Bollywood drama Mitti to British serial killer saga Tony; from South Korean film Treeless Mountain to the Mexican drama I'm Gonna Explode. And if that's not enough January sees the release of the acclaimed documentary Crude, and the award winning French prison drama A Prophet directed by Jacques Audiard - who also speaks to us - which features a star making performance from Tahar Rahim.
