Martha Marcy May Marlene

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

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.

I'll just repeat that sentence again: Joss Whedon is going to captain The Avengers. Yes, the king of sci-fi geekdom is in final talks with Marvel to helm the Avengers movie. As fans around the world rejoice, Marvel look to have finally made their decision after months of indecision over everything comic book movie-related.


Then again, who can blame them? This is the biggest cast of superheroes yet to jump on to the big screen - we're talking Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson). And The Hulk fits in there somewhere too. Ambitious? Yes. Epic? Yes. Potential fail? Yes. But with a man like Whedon on board, things can't go far wrong. After all, this is the man who's written for Marvel, brought the world Buffy and created Firefly. Sure, the TV guru has only directed Serenity in movieland, but let's not forget this guy gave us all Dr Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog.


For a geek with that level of creativity, marshalling Marvel's biggest egos shouldn't be too much of a stretch. May 2012 is the ETA for this one - if they want to do this the right way round, they better get Captain America filming fast.
