The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn
Date Location
(4 stars) After buying a replica model ship at a flea market, Tintin (Bell) is embroiled in a world of subterfuge. Not since Indy's third outing has Spielberg felt so fresh and unshackled; it feels like a hark back to the heyday of 1980s adventure cinema.

Another Earth
Date Location
(4 stars) Sombre indie romance involving a planet beyond the sun which is an exact mirror of our own, even down to the lives of its inhabitants.
