Martha Marcy May Marlene

Terrifying and beautiful, this might well be the best film of 2012.

Interview: James Watkins

The director of The Woman in Black and Eden Lake sits down and chats with us about horror, Daniel Radcliffe and 3D.

Review: Acts of Godfrey

84 minutes of rhyming couplets? It sounds well annoying but I actually loved it.

Review: The Descendants

Nice film, shame about the voiceover.

Tinker Tailor Whack-a-Mole

There's a mole at the top of The Circus. Can you bash its face in?

Review: Like Crazy

A superb anti-rom-com that breaks some cliches and obeys others, which only makes it more moving.

Review: Shame

A devastating, magnificent film that trades almost solely in sex – and yet looks right through it.

Review: Coriolanus

Like Olivier and Branagh before him, Fiennes makes Shakespeare as gripping as it ever was. Verily, Voldemort did good.

If Newsreaders Did Shakespeare...

Inspired by Jon Snow's role in Coriolanus, here are some other Shakespeare adaptations starring newsreaders.

Review: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

After Benjamin Button and The Social Network, this feels like Fincher back in Se7en territory. Grizzled, haunting and beautiful.

Woody at the BFI

As the BFI's season of Woody Allen films continues, we look back at some of the director's best (and worst) films.

The Artist

A feel-good treat, pure and simple. You’ll swoon, you’ll sigh, you’ll want to tap dance.

Well, that didn't take very long. Only yesterday was it in third place having hopped the total gross of Pirates of the Caribbean 3. Now, after making those crucial few more millions, Avatar has taken second place in the box office from Return of the King. Sorry, Peter. Cameron means business now.


With $1.14 billion taken across the globe, James Cameron's 3-D blue-fest has topped the $1.1 billion Peter Jackson clocked up with the final part of his fantasy trilogy. But even Lord of the Rings couldn't prevent this from happening. And with competition from the likes of, erm, It's Complicated, and The Road, Avatar isn't going anyway but up.


It looks like a long way to $1.842 billion, but honestly? I think it's pretty much inevitable now. Even if James himself has to pay for his entire extended family to see it another 5 times each - let's face it, he could afford the 3-D ticket price.
