Free Men (Les hommes libres)
Date	Location
Younes (Rahim) is a young Algerian working in WW II Paris when the Germans enter; the authorities give him the choice between prison, or spying on a mosque suspected of smuggling out Jews disguised as Muslims. Ferroukhi's film is worthy, but lacks dramatic tension and a properly fleshed-out protagonist. View full details

Red Tails
Date	Location
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. View full details

War Horse
Date	Location
Alcoholic farmer Ted (Mullen) buys a spirited horse, Joey, in an England unwittingly on the brink of World War I; his teenage son (Irvine) tames Joey, but war soon separates them. Spielberg promises and delivers large-canvas, unashamedly romanticised, old-fashioned storytelling. In an excellent cast, Hiddleston, Watson and Arestrup are standouts. View full details

A Tamil rebel soldier is rehabilitated and sent back to his village. Feared and resented by his neighbours, he becomes a security guard for a smuggler, while forming a strange bond with the wife of the previous holder of the job. View full details and ticket info
