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. Despite the loopy premise, the startling script by actress Marling and director Cahill is more interested in human interaction than space travel, leading to an effective double-whammy ending.

The Artist
Date Location

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.

Blue Velvet
Date Location
In small-town Middle America, would-be boy detective MacLachlan finds a severed ear on some waste ground. When the police shoo him away he decides to do some investigating of his own. A singular fusion of the cosy and the terrifying which blends kitsch and nightmare, B-movie detection and brutal sex to deconstruct our complacent vision of normal society. This is filmmaking of remarkable imagination and skill.

Breakfast at Tiffany's
Date Location
(4 stars) 'How do I look?' asks original waif Hepburn in the role of borderline schizophrenic Holly Golightly. 'Very good, I must say I'm amazed,' replies Peppard in the role of frustrated writer and part-time gigolo Paul Varjak in this adaptation from the novel by Truman Capote. The iconic Hepburn has never made neurosis look so good, and while the film may have numerous redeeming features (not least the exquisite cinematography by Franz F Plane and the swinging soundtrack by Henry Mancini), it is she…

Carnage
Date Location
(4 stars) A playground spat between two boys causes their parents to try to settle their differences. There's little attempt to disguise the film's theatrical origins, but it plays out at such a blistering pace and boasts such exuberant performances that it's hard not to give in to it. Fast, funny and filthy.

Casablanca
Date Location
(5 stars) You must remember this … Bogart being impossibly noble, Bergman torn between two lovers, Claude Rains playing both ends against the middle, devious Nazis, a fogbound airport, a piano-player tinkling that tune. A wonderful hill of beans.

Contagion
Date Location
(3 stars) Soderbergh revives the type of all-star disaster movie last seen in the 1970s with this sober account of a deadly virus which threatens the world's population. It lacks any central heart or focus, focusing on the bigger picture rather than clichéd dramatics.

Cool Hand Luke
Date Location
(4 stars) Lucas 'Luke' Jackson (Newman) rewrites the rule book in coolness when he is locked up for a petty crime. Even the officers fall for his laconic charms, but the pressure of remaining on a pedestal soon takes its toll. Remember, nobody can eat fifty eggs. Superb adaptation of Donn Pearce's Christ allegory novel. Highly recommended.

Coriolanus
Date Location
(4 stars) Coriolanus (Fiennes) is a valiant Roman soldier whose contempt for the masses causes him to fall victim to the city's scheming politicians. Fiennes, debuting as director, creates a modern day, war-torn Rome using Serbian locations, restless cinematography and an excellent cast, making this a powerful and resonant reimagining of Shakespeare's tragedy.

The Crow
Date Location
Infamous as the film on which martial arts star Bruce Lee's son Brandon was killed by a defective stunt gun, this is the most consistent attempt yet to create on film the distinctive feel of the graphic novel. The characterisation and plot development may be slight – a rock star comes back from the dead to wreak revenge on the gang who killed him and his girlfriend – but stylistically, it's a gem.

Date Location
(4 stars) Cronenberg’s investigation of psychoanalysis, seen through the relationship between the two main proponents, Freud (Mortensen) and Jung (Fassbender) makes for a fascinating insight into a moment in history when the world of thought, and the way that we think about ourselves, was being fundamentally reshaped.
