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.

Titanic 3D trailer - Leonard DiCaprio, Kate WinsletThe Titanic 3D trailer turned up online last night - and it looks all reassuringly familiar.


James Cameron’s “Titanic” is an epic, action-packed romance set against the ill-fated maiden voyage of the R.M.S. Titanic, the pride and joy of the White Star Line and, at the time, the largest moving object ever built. 


says the official synopsis. And we all know where it goes from there. Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) meets Rose (Kate Winslet). Jack draws naughty pictures of Rose. Rose runs away from Billy Zane. The ship sinks. Everyone dies. And Billy Zane flounders about with a gun.


I'll be honest: I have a massive soft spot for Titanic. James Cameron is making a heck of a lot from this re-release, but the chance to watch it (probably for the 20th time) on a IMAX screen? I'm as excited as that Italian friend Leo has at the beginning of the film who disappears about halfway through and probably suffers an excruciatingly painful watery death.


Titanic 3D is in UK cinemas on Friday 6th April 2012 - 9 days before the 100th anniversary of the ship's sinking. It's going to be big. And even if you're not a fan of the film, let's face it, if you're not looking forward to seeing Billy Zane in a wet tux holding an M1911 pistol IN 3D, there's probably something wrong with you.


Read on for the trailer.

Jennifer Lawrence, The Hunger Games trailer

In a seemingly endless wave of dystopian-movies-this and reality-TV-films-that, it takes something special to stand out. It turns out that something is Jennifer Lawrence with a bow and arrow. And The Hunger Games trailer certainly has that.


Based on Suzanne Colinns' best-selling novel, The Hunger Games is about a bunch of kids (aged between 12 and 18) who are selected as part of an annual, incredibly-fatal TV contest. It's a bit like Battle Royale. With a PG-13 certificate.


But if you're worried about the lack of violence and the glossy looks of the gorgeous teen cast, don't: Jennifer Lawrence is only in it because Katniss Everdeen volunteers to replace her younger sister in the kill-or-be-killed tournament.


The Hunger Games may not have the blood splatter of Kinji Fukasaku's mental murder spree, but director Gary Ross has got garish pink costumes, a big budget and one heck of a sympathetic heroine. 


The Hunger Games UK release date is Friday 23rd March next year - and the film is looking very good. Hell, The Hunger Games trailer alone craps all over I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. Read on for the full video.

"There's a horse running about in No Man's Land..."


So speaks an army man (not a horse) to another soldier (also not a horse) while standing around the battlefield like a couple of human beings who aren't horses. Then, with a surge of emotional music, out rides... A HORSE.


Just look at that horse go. Galloping along as bullets fly past and explosions go bang. Trotting up and down the trenches in the face of death. Sticking its middle hoof up to the Germans and the Russians.


Truly this is one special horse. A miraculous little creature, who canters about doing his horsey thing while all around him all the non-horses die. If only we could be more like the horse, that noble, graceful horse of war. The war horse.


"BE BRAVE!" yells an army general, teetering on the edge of battle, sitting on a horse. I'll be brave for you, horse! I'll stick my hoof up to The Man! I'll stand tall as Steven Spielberg, Richard Curtis and John Williams conspire to turn me into a sobbing pile of - what's that? Oh no, I'm not crying. It's just raining on my face.


War Horse is out in cinemas on Friday 13th January next year. It's already riding into my LFF Surprise Film predictions list. Read on for the full video.
