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.

A film that celebrates all the little, great things in life.

The Artist
Date Location
(4 stars) This joyous, impeccably crafted crowdpleaser about the advent of the talkies melds the tried and tested plot of A Star Is Born to the comic exuberance of Singin' In The Rain, with the result that it is almost impossible not to fall for its charms.

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.

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.

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.

The Tin Drum (Die Blechtrommel)

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.

Dirty Dancing
Date Location
(3 stars) The plot – in the summer of 1963 bad boy Johnny (Swayze) meets good girl Baby (Grey) and teaches her hip grinding, eventually winning the respect of her parents. Sure it's full of stereotyping, bad dialogue and a pre-teen sugar coated prurience, but decades on Dirty Dancing still has the ability to send a generation of women all gooey.

Girl, Interrupted
Date Location
(3 stars) Ryder plays Susanna Kaysen, whose memoirs of her time spent in a mental institution in the late 60s provide the basis for this film, but the star of the show is Lisa (Jolie), a gorgeous, unpredictable sociopath who establishes herself as Susanna's best friend and worst enemy. The film does veer too far into tissue territory, but this remains a sensitive and persuasive piece of work.

Happy Feet
Date Location
(3 stars) A clumsily plotted but totally charming animated musical from the makers of Babe about tap dancing and singing penguins deep in Antarctica. With solid songs and some genuinely excellent voiceover performances, Happy Feet is probably the best of the Christmas family films.

The Lion King
Date Location
(3 stars) The first Disney animated feature to be based on an original story rather than a traditional folk or fairy tale, The Lion King retains all of the studio's markers: impeccable animation, jolly songs, colourful characters and a strong moral guideline. Solid family fare.

Man on a Ledge
Date Location
(3 stars) A disgraced former cop (Worthington) threatens to jump from a Manhattan rooftop, but it becomes clear to a police psychologist (Banks) that it's a distraction from a heist across the street. Leth nicely balances action, drama and humour, and a strong cast (notably Bell) lend more quality to the film than it probably deserves.
