She is the darling of independent French cinema who’s also been a Bond girl. On the eve of her latest film – and as she becomes a mother for the first time – she tells Will Lawrence how she balances her crippling anxiety with an exhibitionist streak
A cold and overcast day in London suddenly feels a little warmer thanks to an impromptu interlude from Léa Seydoux. The French actor, who is heavily pregnant when we meet, has just broken into song, filling the room with lyrics from Down Here I’ve Done My Best by American gospel group Take 6. There’s no R&B swagger in her version, mind you – she whispers the words rather than belts them out – but she feels that their content is apt. “The guy who is singing,” she tells me once she’s finished her recital, “he is saying that he’s done his...

Some sequels are met with an eye roll and a deep sigh, as many of them are completely unnecessary. Did the world really need another "Sex and the City" movie or another entry in the "Shrek" franchise? On the other hand, some sequels are an excuse to see some old friends again.

The film — the first in the series since 1999's "Toy Story 2" — gets the old batch of toys back together for one more adventure. All the favorites are there, including Buzz Lightyear (voiced once again by Tim Allen) and Woody (given life by Tom Hanks). It's a lighthearted, fun film that utilizes its 3-D effects well and balances the perfect amount of childlike wonder and mature storytelling that Pixar does so incredibly well.
