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.

Until he was downsized, affable, amiable Larry Crowne (Tom Hanks) was a superstar team leader at the big-box company where he's worked since his time in the Navy.


Underwater on his mortgage and unclear on what to do with his suddenly free days, Larry heads to his local college to start over. In his public speaking class, Larry develops an unexpected crush on his teacher Mercedes (Roberts), who has lost as much passion for teaching as she has for her husband.

It took Pixar four years to come up with a flawless sequel to an instant classic - Toy Story established an entirely new genre back in 1995, its technical innovation easily matched by the excellent Toy Story 2. But now Lee Unkrich faces the challenge of continuing that warmth and humour into the third of the trilogy. Is 11 years enough time to give Woody and Buzz a proper final outing? You bet it is.

Everyone was amazed when Toy Story 2 surpassed the sheer brilliance of the original Toy Story. But could Pixar really do it again with Toy Story 3? It might just be possible, judging by the new Toy Story 3 trailer which showed up online today. It has laughs, it has monkeys, it has Ken meeting Barbie. It even has a new character called Lots-O' Huggin' Bear. He's pink. And awesome.


Lots-O' Huggin' is the bear in charge at Sunnyside Day Care, where Andry dumps his toys so he can head off to college without looking like a gay softy. But after a bit of rough and tumble play, Woody, Buzz and the gang are all set to break out of Sunnyside. As long as Lots-O' lets them.


This third trailer for Pixar's second sequel comes as a massive relief - that last one really worried me (mainly because it looked pants). But hey, 3-D or no 3-D (I wish it were no 3-D), this is honestly looking a lot more like the Lee Unkrich we know - after all, he did co-direct Toy Story 2. And Finding Nemo. 


Head over to MTV for the new trailer, or read on for the video.

It's official: Sony have found The Lost Symbol. Not that it was hard to find - it was sitting on their desk all along. Ever since Dan Brown's book came out, it's only been a question of when the studio would start writing it for the screen.


And so Steven Knight (of Dirty Pretty Things) is on script duty, adapting the third outing for Robert Langdon - sure, Angels and Demons only took $486 million compared to The Da Vinci Code's $760m odd, but that's still enough money to cover Tom Hanks' haircut. Presuming they can convince him to sign on again. Then it's just a case of getting hold of Ron Howard. That shouldn't be too hard.

 

 
Director: John Lasseter
Cast: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen
Certificate: PG

If you don’t know the story of Toy story, you’re either a baby or a retard. Toy Story will be 15 years old next year, so its legacy is now firmly established. It is one of the defining films of the past generation, without which we would not have Shrek or Nemo, or any of their pixelated pals. Beyond the obvious, however, Toy Story has had an impact on animation history that would have been impossible to forsee when it originally hit our screens. It was the last point at which Disney noticeably blazed a trail through the animation world, and was the making of writer-director John Lasseter.
