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.

Remember Valentine's Day? That film that came out and ruined everyone's favourite fake holiday? Well, here's the one for next year. Except Love and Other Drugs actually looks good. It's got Jake Gyllenhaal in it. And judging from the film's new trailer, he looks very good.


Gyllenhaal plays a playboy pharmaceutical rep called Jamie - he's got a good career, loads of ladies, and his company has just launched that famous little blue miracle pill. Then, in walks a woman who looks a lot like Anne Hathaway. Let's call her Maggie. Now Maggie is after the same thing: carefree sex. And probably money. Either way, she knows what Jamie really wants: "an hour or two of relief from the pain of being you". Zing.


Oozing with Gyllenhaal's charm and full of naughty references to sex, the rom-com no doubt comes with some kind of spiel about it all being about the ultimate drug: love. But this isn't just any rom-com. This is a rom-com directed by Edward Zwick. The guy who gave us swords and guns in The Last Samurai and angry Jews in Defiance.


So, from the director of Blood Diamond, here's Love and Other Drugs. A film about what romance is really all about: viagra. It's out in the UK next February. You can guess which date. The trailer's in our videos section, but you can read on for the full thing.

I bet they just named it this so that they could get that vastly overplayed Roxy Music song in there. With lots of other songs.
This does look great - two weirdly attractive people in drugs with eachother. Yay!
But those corkscrew curls are awful on Anne. So glad she went for the chop.
