| 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. View full details |

| 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. View full details |

| 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.

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.| Location | Date | Tickets |

 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.View full details |
