The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
Date Location
(5 stars) In Powell & Pressburger's poignant masterpiece, Clive Candy (Livesey, superb) starts out as a hotheaded Boer War hero and ages 40 years into a portly Home Guard general who keeps falling for the same kind of girl (Kerr, luminous). Spry and delightful after nearly 70 years, it's presented here in a crisp digital restoration.

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.

Ill Manors
Date Location
(4 stars) Six interweaved storylines about violence, prostitution and drugs, all set around London's Forest Gate. The directorial debut of Ben Drew (aka hip-hop artist Plan B) is raw, uncompromising and ambitious; Drew elicits great performances and takes trouble to understand his wayward characters. A kind of hoodie Magnolia.

Puss in Boots
Date Location
(4 stars) Puss (Banderas) and Humpty Dumpty (Galifianakis) attempt to steal magic beans from Jack and Jill, with Hayek as feline accomplice Kitty Softpaws. Given the slackening quality of the Shrek franchise, the surprise is that this imaginative romp was one of the 2011's best animated family films.

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.

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.

The Source (La source des femmes)
Date Location
(3 stars) In a drought-ridden village somewhere between Africa and the Middle East, the men do little while the women are expected to fetch the water in sweltering heat; eventually, Leila (Bekhti) organises a revolt. What could have been a one-dimensional tale deepens into something more considered, told with engaging warmth.

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.

Red Tails
Date Location
(2 stars) In WW II Italy, a crew of African-American trainee airmen defy both Nazi pilots and institutional racism, under the leadership of Major Stance (Gooding) and Colonel Bullard (Howard). Lashings of expensively rendered CGI action can't make up for thin characterization, hoary clichés and crude simplifications.

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen
Date Location
(2 stars) A nerdish fisheries expert (McGregor) and a sophisticated legal aide (Blunt) are recruited by an angling-obsessed sheik (Waked) to realize the vision of the title. What worked on the page is an insubstantial muddle on film, thanks to an unfocused script and Hallström’s preference for broad emotions over subtlety and complexity.
