Impassioned and revealing, this ends up a stirring affirmation of live music and community spirit.

Priest (3D)
Predictable action sequences & lazy character development add up to an all too blatant cash in at the box office

My Son, My Son, What Have You Done
While the Herzog and Lynch collaboration is sure to spark interest, this unfortunately sees the fine cast playing second fiddle to the film’s distinct cinematic style.

Horrible Bosses
A guilty pleasure for anyone who hates their boss, this is original, superbly performed and wickedly funny.

Beginners
It does get a bit too cute stylistically, but the easy chemistry between the three leads ensures this adds up to a gentle and often touching charmer.

The Guard
Driven by pitch-perfect performances and a darkly humoured script, this ends up an hysterically funny and immensely enjoyable romp.

Friends With Benefits
This surprisingly whip-smart rom-com gleefully satirises genre conventions and is boosted by the electric on-screen chemistry between its two leads.

Cowboys & Aliens
Despite a clutch of silly moments, director Jon Favreau smartly avoids parody and crafts an admirably serious and entertaining adventure.

Win Win
The formulaic structure of the sports narrative is disappointing, but the top-notch performances ensure this is fresh, engaging and moving stuff.

The Woman
For those who can stomach the depraved action, this dark and superbly performed horror flick is totally worth it.

Pina
Decidedly underwhelming, this unfortunately fails to reveal any real insight into its fascinating subject.

Page One: A Year Inside The New York Times
A fascinating but sobering look at the rapidly changing world of media – one that may have journalists and publishers quaking in their boots.

Green Lantern 3D
Torn in too many narrative and stylistic directions, this fails to wholly satisfy on any level, and ends up a disappointing mess.

Glee: The 3D Concert Movie
Sure, it’s flamboyant and saccharine, but with all the cast in top form, this is also infectious, uplifting, and occasionally stirring stuff.

Jane Eyre
It’s a compelling slow-burner, but one that avoids the soul-wrenching emotion that could have transformed this into a modern classic.

Senna
Solely told through brilliantly edited archival footage, this intense and moving doco captures the allure and complexities of this hugely revered sporting hero.
