The High School Musical heartthrob tries to top Time Traveller's Wife with this slushy piece of drivel that should drop the third and fourth words of its title. Charlie St Cloud (Efron) is a lovely young man. He has a brother, Sam (Tahan), who he likes to punch a lot. He tells his mother how beautiful she looks. He sails boats fast, faster than a black man. He even punches a black man in a bar too. Then one day, he and little Sammy get killed in a car crash. Sadly, the movie doesn't stop there.

Twenty-three years on from Wall Street's tale of money, manipulation and Michael Douglas, Gordon Gekko is back for more of the same. Except Money Never Sleeps isn't quite the same old beast. There aren't really any beasts at all. At times, Gordon is actually a bit of a softie. Taking the teeth out of his lead shark, Stone's sequel has a slightly bigger heart and a little less bite.

One upon a time there was a Cowboy, an Indian and a Horse. They lived together in A Town Called Panic and were all made of plastic. Then, one day along came a crazy Belgian who started moving them about and taking funny pictures. The result is one of the craziest films you've ever seen.

Trailer/Clips

With his second spot behind the camera, Ben Affleck is out to prove he can do Heat as good as Michael Mann. Boiling the tension on Boston streets, his success mostly comes from him being in his own backyard. He knows the town and gets how it works. So does Doug MacRay (Affleck). Charlestown is, the opening titles inform us, the hot spot for heists and robberies. And MacRay was born right in the middle of it.

Trailers/Clips

You've got to feel sorry for Timothy Olyphant. If his evil plans aren't being thwarted by Bruce Willis, he's a mass-produced hitman with a barcode and no personality. Now, when he finally gets the chance to play a human lead - a good guy, no less - his town gets wiped out by a crazy virus. Literally, it makes people go crazy. Then kill people. The Crazies like killing people. And director Breck Eisner likes showing it.

He's back. 20 years after Roger and Me, Michael Moore returns to the world of corrupt corporate finance. Shambling around the stock exchange in his hat and coat, he's the people's Columbo, uncovering the cost of the government's rescue package for the American economy. Approaching brokers, teachers, priests and people, his question is simple: "what the fuck happened?" Capitalism: A Love Story is anything but.

Think swords and sorcery and you think Viggo Mortensen. Maybe Hugh Jackman. Think Bassett and you think Liquorice Allsorts. But this fantasy adventure, based on Robert E Howard's novels from years back, isn't exactly your average creature. Sure, there's swords and sorcery aplenty. But there's also blood, violence, and West Country accents.

Tom Craven (Gibson) is a widowed Boston homicide detective. Having raised his daughter Emma (Novakovic) on his own, he thinks the world of her. When she returns home, everything is hunky dory. Until she gets blown through his front door with a shotgun. Cue gritty revenge thriller.

"You listen to me. You're alright, alright? You're alright. Right? Listen to me. You're a good man. Got that? Never forget that. Cling to that. You've been wronged. You're in the right. Remember that. Right? Right." This is the kind of dialogue that knows it's dialogue. The kind that walks a line between cool and crass. The kind of dialogue that needs to be spoken by top-class actors in order to work. Fortunately, they don't come much classier than Ian McShane, who delivers that line with killer timing. The rest? Well, it's all fucking swearing, isn't it.

"There's over a million Stevens with a "V" in the country. It's much more popular than the "PH" way. Twice as popular, in fact. I think it was the the Brits who prefer their PH's." So speaks Mary (Bullock), crossword compiler - or cruciverbalist - and all-round nut job. A character labelled by many as the most annoying in cinema history, she walks around in knee high red boots, sporting over-styled hair and spouting factoids like a dictionary with Tourettes. And there's nothing wrong with that. The problem is that she's in a film that's completely bereft of laughter.
