Dark Shadows
Location Date Tickets
(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.

Death Watch (La mort en direct)
Location Date Tickets
(4 stars) Katherine (Schneider) is a novelist living in Glasgow who's been diagnosed with a terminal disease; Roddy (Keitel) befriends her, but unknown to her he works for a TV company with its own agenda. The basic idea is amazingly prescient but the plot is rather preposterous; Schneider's moving performance anchors it in emotional reality.

Even the Rain
Location Date Tickets
(3 stars) Film director Sebastian (Bernal, bland) arrives in Bolivia to make an epic on the life of Columbus, but is so focused on history that he fails to appreciate present injustices. Laverty and Bolain's well-intentioned drama is heavy-handed, but there are enough touching moments to make it worthwhile.

Goodbye First Love (Un amour de jeunesse)
Location Date Tickets
(2 stars) Vain, drippy, lugubrious teenager Camille (Créton) falls in and out of love with dumb puppy Sullivan (Urzendowsky). Lots of nice shots of breasts and landscapes don't alter the fact that this is about unlikable people exchanging faux-profundities. Might work as aversion therapy for people who think they miss being young.

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
Location Date Tickets
(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.

The Man Who Fell to Earth
Location Date Tickets
(4 stars) An alien searching for the water needed to save his own planet has his powers destroyed by the sinister machinations of a multinational business enterprise. A well cast Bowie gives perhaps his best performance in this dazzling, occasionally obtuse, piece of Roegian sci-fi.

(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.

Long before Night of the Living Dead, Hammer horror made a bold move into zombie territory with this 1965 shocker. Inexplicable deaths in a Cornish village prompt a local doctor to call on his medical mentor for assistance. Professor Forbes arrives with his daughter and soon the churchyard gives up its secrets as the dead walk again at the bidding of a master with the power of voodoo at his command.

The Raid
Location Date Tickets
(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.

(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.

(3 stars) Animated feature in which an elderly writer and a young actress dream up and perform six stories about a young hero's attempts to win the hand of a princess. The old-fashioned imagery is highly distinctive, and the sedate pace and dialogue-heavy storytelling allow the viewer to appreciate the beauty.
