Akira
Date Location
(5 stars) Based on the multi-volume graphic novel by Otomo, Akira is a mythical, futuristic tale of post-holocaust Tokyo, where pill-popping biker kids begin to unearth a government project designed to exploit the psychic and telekinetic powers of a group of laboratory-bound children. Superbly animated, with a fantastic visual and narrative imagination, but you'd be well advised to know something of the plot before you see it.

Wings of Desire
Date Location
(5 stars) Restless angel Damiel (Ganz) is on duty over Berlin when he takes a tip from American movie star and former angel Falk on the possibilities of crossing over, and follows his mentor's path to consummate his relationship with beautiful circus acrobat Dommartin. Gorgeous black-and-white photography and a sensitive feel for the people and places of Berlin grace, this thematically rich and uncharacteristically optimistic slice of Wenders enchantment is highly recommended.

The Cabin in the Woods
Date Location
(4 stars) Five sex- and booze-fuelled teenagers get more than they bargained for when they holiday in an isolated log cabin. Co-creators Whedon (Buffy) and Goddard (Cloverfield) deliver the most original horror movie of the year, with something in its box of tricks to scare everyone.

The Darjeeling Limited
Date Location
(4 stars) Three eccentric brothers (Wilson, Brody and Schwartzman) cross India by train in an attempt to deal with the recent death of their father. On this evidence writer/director Anderson is fast becoming the John Cheever of US cinema. This film is preceded by a short by Anderson called 'Hotel Chevalier'; it is imperative you see this film in order to understand what follows. A delight.

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
Date Location
(4 stars) A group of friends find their dinner gathering interrupted by a series of bizarre, mostly dreamt-up events. Not as savage a satire as Buñuel's earlier work, but he is certainly more assured as he fires at his constant targets - the church, the state and the army.

Fantastic Mr Fox
Date Location
(4 stars) Anderson's inspired choice of stop-motion animation pays off in this beautiful and idiosyncratic adaptation of the well-loved children's tale. While kids may enjoy it, Anderson's typically arch humour is aimed more at their parents, who will also be impressed by the star-studded voice cast – Bill Murray as a badger lawyer anyone?

Flash Gordon
Date Location
(4 stars) A colourful, camp adventure starring Flash! (aaah, saviour of the universe, as the memorable Queen soundtrack has it).

Le Havre
Date Location
(4 stars) In the dismal seaport of Le Havre, elderly shoe-shiner Marcel (Wilms) attempts to help a young African immigrant boy to cross the Channel to a better life. Kaurismaki’s inimitable sense of grim comedy is as sharp as ever, and the glorious Technicolor style bestows dignity on his beloved underclass.

The Hunger Games
Date Location

The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou
Date Location
(4 stars) Anderson's fourth film is part high seas adventure, part film industry satire, part existential meditation on the meaning of relationships. It is consistently clever and hilarious, shifting from the light-hearted to the surreal, to scenes of real depth with the kind of ease we've come to expect from the Texan director. Bill Murray heads an eccentric, often brilliant cast, as ageing oceanographer and filmmaker Steve Zissou. No one likes his films any more and his life is falling apart around…

The Man Who Fell to Earth
Date Location
(4 stars) An alien searching for the water needed to save his own planet has his powers destroyed by the sinister machinations of a multinational business enterprise. A well cast Bowie gives perhaps his best performance in this dazzling, occasionally obtuse, piece of Roegian sci-fi.

The Raid
Date Location
(4 stars) An Indonesian SWAT team storms a Jakarta tower block intending to take down crime lord Tama (Sahetapy), but finds itself trapped. About as good a film as you can make about men repeatedly punching each other in the face; Evans' low-budget, high-impact approach has enormous gusto and ingenuity.

American Reunion
Date Location
(3 stars) The American Pie gang have a 13-year reunion and contemplate some familiar problems about love, sex and intimacy. A fun nostalgia trip that rates the heart as important as the other bodily parts; the original cast are as likable (or not) as ever. Nothing very revelatory but plenty of laughs.

Dark Shadows
Date Location
(3 stars) 18th century vampire Barnabas Collins (Depp) escapes from his coffin to find himself in Maine in 1972. It's fun, thanks to a smart script and plenty of surreal humour; Burton regulars Depp and Bonham-Carter are a hoot, but Moretz and Green could have used more restraint.

The Dictator
Date Location
(3 stars) Admiral General Aladeen (Cohen) is the titular dictator: a sexist, racist, fascist pig with a penchant for execution, who during a trip to the UN is betrayed by his right-hand man (Kingsley). The jokes come thick, fast and obvious but despite moments of solid satire it feels a bit stale.

How I Spent My Summer Vacation
Date Location
(3 stars) A nameless crook (Gibson) crashes his car and is thrown into the sordid Tijuana prison El Pueblito. Star and co-writer Gibson revels in an enjoyable, controversy-free action-comedy with the zing of Lethal Weapon, that even the most ardent Mel-hater would find hard to dislike.

Moonrise Kingdom
Date Location
(3 stars) When 12-year-old orphan Sam (Gilman) convinces Suzy (Hayward) to run away with him, her parents (Murray, McDormand), the local scoutmaster (Norton), sheriff (Willis) and Social Services (Swinton) are soon in pursuit. Anderson's new movie will delight his fans; others may consider it overlong, whimsical and emotionally lightweight.

Safe
Date Location
(3 stars) Luke Wright (Statham), suicidal ex-cop-turned-cage-fighter, is about to jump in front of a train when he befriends Mei (Chan), Chinese schoolgirl and math genius who knows how to access a fortune. Generic villains and excessive body count can't tarnish Statham's likable machismo and the unstoppable energy of the action scenes. A guilty pleasure.

2 Days in New York
Date Location
(3 stars) Marion (Delpy) lives with Mingus (Rock) and their children from previous relationships, and copes with her widowed father (Delpy's own father), cross-cultural misunderstandings and grief for her late mother. This sequel to 2007's 2 Days in Paris is often very funny: Delpy Sr is a joy and Rock is winningly bemused.

Battleship
Date Location
(2 stars) When aliens invade the waters around Hawaii, wayward naval officer Alex Hopper (Kitsch) must assemble a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits to fight back. Director Berg is a naval buff, so it's disappointing that a chance to refresh the action genre is thrown away in favour of a humdrum alien-invasion plot.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Date Location
(2 stars) Despite an irresistible army of pension-age talent including Dench, Smith and Wilkinson, all on excellent form, this story about a group of unconnected British retirees who come to the titular hotel in Jaipur and find resolution for their various issues and challenges, feels too calculated to offer anything more than disposable entertainment at best, and cheaply manipulative emotional kicks at worst.

Iron Sky
Date Location
(2 stars) Nazis on the moon! In Finland’s first blockbuster, a US lunar expedition discovers a hidden moonbase where Nazis have been hiding since the end of WW II. Shame that Vuorensola’s flat satire and B-movie plotting don’t live up to the inspired premise. For once, a Hollywood remake might be in order.
