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.

Avatar. Avatar Avatar Avatar. Jeff Bridges. That pretty much sums up a surprising night at the Golden Globes yesterday. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association shocked everyone when they awarded Avatar Best Picture and Best Director. Even Cameron agreed that his ex-wife, Kathryn Bigelow, should've got the award for The Hurt Locker.


Others were more expected - Up got Best Animation, Meryl Streep struck gold with Julie & Julia (one of two nominations), and Jason Reitman got his well-earned Screenplay award for Up in the Air - but did anyone see Robert Downey Jr winning Best Comedy Actor for Sherlock Holmes? Even fewer predicted The Hangover walking away with Best Comedy Picture. Mostly because (500) Days of Summer deserved it.


But on a night when sense when out the window and blue was the in colour, it's hard to grumble about such as thing as taste. Who needs that when you've got $500 million and a fistful of 3-D glasses? Taste certainly ran away once our host Ricky Gervais found his stride. Quipping, plugging and drinking his way through the evening, he came up with several corkers which stunned the room of stars ("I like a drink as much as the next man. Unless the next man is... Mel Gibson!")


The highlight, however, was Martin Scorsese's win of the Cecil B DeMille Award, which saw Robert De Niro and Leonard DiCaprio graphically describing the director's sexual affair with film reel. Then old Marty himself stood up and waggled his eyebrows for a bit. It was lovely.


There were some TV shows in there too. Including Mad Men, of course. Glee won stuff as well. But the memory the stays in my head? Arnold Schwarzenegger trying to pronounce "Avatar". Read on for the full list of winners. And a clip of Arnie's incredible tribute to James Cameron. And then head over here for our full-on golden photo gallery of winners.

How is Sherlock Holmes a comedy? I mean, I haven't seen it and it looks pretty comedic from all the trailers, but still, I think judging Robert DJ next to, say, one of those Hangover blokes, perhaps, is about as ludicrous as judging Dustin Hoffman as Tootsie against Kate Winslet in 'The Reader', just because they're both playing women.
