All Stars

We’ve had ‘Streetdance’ (twice). Now meet ‘All Stars’, the UK’s latest attempt to ape America’s lucrative tween dance scene (in 3D). Ethan (Theo Stevenson) is a cheeky schoolkid who throws a talent contest to save the local youth club. His own dance...

The Great Gatsby

‘Romeo + Juliet’ and ‘Moulin Rouge!’ showed us that Australian director Baz Luhrmann can throw a hell of a party. Now, after the epic drabness of ‘Australia’ he pulls the stereo out of storage and does it again. The best scene in this fast and furiou...

Finding Nemo 3D

The ‘Toy Story’ films may have made Pixar’s name – and a boatload of cash – but it was ‘Finding Nemo’ that really proved how far audiences worldwide were willing to trust their output. Here was a film with no recognisable story elements, no big star...

The Croods

The Croods in this animation are a prehistoric family who have escaped death by disease, mammoth, big cat and other assorted nasties via the simple ruse of staying in their cave whenever they can. It’s a strategy dear to the heart of brawny patriarch...

Fast & Furious 6

Episode six in this overcooked cars ’n’ girls franchise offers no surprises, though Londoners might feel a frisson of excitement when watching their city being trashed and raced around in by V8 saloons and souped-up ‘Mad Max’-style single seaters. It...

Star Trek Into Darkness

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ is a brisk, no-nonsense sci-fi action sequel built around a conflict between the crew of the Starship Enterprise with a slick, slippery new villain, John Harrison (although there’s more to him than meets the eye), who’s play...

Iron Man 3

Calling ‘Iron Man 3’ a mixed bag doesn’t really do justice to the heady peaks and interminable troughs in this scrappy but overwhelmingly likeable superhero sequel. In the minus column, there’s the tedious, talky first act, the script’s uneasy attemp...

21 and Over

The plot for this new American comedy might sound like it's in the territory of 'The Hangover', which is unsurprising seeing as it's the directing debut of the writers behind that earlier hit and its sequel, Jon Lucas and Scott Moore. They've also wr...

The Place Beyond the Pines

American independent movies are regularly compared to Bruce Springsteen songs – so much of the DNA is the same, from blue-collar angst to simmering daddy issues, from passion and heartbreak to petty crime and prison time. At a sprawling 140 minutes,...

Olympus Has Fallen

Hollywood’s funny way of celebrating Barack Obama’s re-election is to put the White House through as much hell as possible just to prove its resilience. In September, Channing Tatum will hold the fort against an invasion in Roland Emmerich’s ‘White H...

Lincoln

In Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln, Daniel Day-Lewis plays America’s favourite president, Honest Abe, as a benign, wise, ageing goat. He can bare his teeth, but prefers to chew doubters into submission, like he’s turning over an old can between well-worn...

The Hangover Part III

When 'The Hangover Part II' survived critical brickbats to become the smash hit comedy of 2011, another sequel was inevitable. Director Todd Phillips has insisted that this third movie will act as a finale, with no more sequels to follow. We'll belie...

Man of Steel

A reboot of the Superman franchise from director Zack Snyder. Just as in ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’, the writers have decided to go back to the beginning with an orgin tale: a child is sent to Earth from the dying planet Krypton. He is adopted by a cou...
