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.

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.

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.
