Cloverfield takes place in a Manhattan that, for a few brief moments, thinks an earthquake has just occurred. Instead, it is the heavy footfall of an encroaching monster, dinosaur-big and angry as hell. Chaos inevitably ensues. Produced by the man behind TV’s Lost, Cloverfield is a trip into cinema’s favourite arena: the end of the world. Filmed as if on a hand-held camera throughout, Cloverfield is not easy to watch, but those who like edge-of-the-seat drama should be in anxiety-ridden heaven for its taut hour-and-a-half. “It is extremely rare in modern cinema to see a film that is genuinely new. Not just excellent but properly like nothing you’ve laid your eyes on before,” Empire “The film lacks the polish, characterisation and narrative neatness of Spielberg’s War Of The Worlds, but it does convey a convincing atmosphere of panic and helplessness,” Daily Mail. “This is horror unplugged. The panic is exquisite. The unnerving novelty about Cloverfield is the quality of shock. Fantastic.”The Times

From the same screenwriters that brought you The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up comes Drillbit Taylor, a funny high school comedy about what happens when you stand up to the class bully. In this case, the Neanderthal Filkins clearly has aspirations towards Hannibal Lecter status. But our three heroes club together to hire themselves some protection - a charlatan war veteran . Enter the laconic but ever lovable Owen Wilson, with his own unique twist on exactly how to provide protection. But though it might not work its way into your heart like Knocked Up did, Drillbit Taylor still has many amusing moments, and has a clear flair for comedy. “Drillbit Taylor has a whiff of familiarity about it. It is packed with movie references and pop cultural in-jokes, and though it is perhaps not as uproariously funny as some of their other scripts, fans of Judd Apatow and Seth Rogan will not be disappointed.”The Times.

Ordered to hole up for a couple of weeks in the medieval Belgian city of Bruges, after a difficult job, two hit men begin to differ on their views of life and death as they become used to local customs. Very much out of place amidst the gothic architecture, canals, and cobbled streets, the two hit men fill their days living the lives of tourists. Ray, still haunted by the bloodshed in London, hates the place, while Ken, even as he keeps a fatherly eye on Ray's often profanely funny exploits, finds his mind and soul being expanded by the beauty and serenity of the city. But the longer they stay waiting for Harry's call, the more surreal their experience becomes, as they find themselves in weird encounters with locals, tourists, violent medieval art, a dwarf American actor shooting a European art film, Dutch prostitutes, and a potential romance for Ray in the form of Chloë, who may have some dark secrets of her own. And when finally their crime boss Harry does call, Ken and Ray's find themselves in an epic life-and-death struggle of comic proportions with surprisingly emotional consequences. Colin Farrell and Academy Award-nominee Ralph Fiennes star in this edgy action-packed comedy.

A Hollywood remake of a chilling 2004 Japanese horror, One Missed Call is a gorefest that will make your fear your phone. A group of people begin to receive phone calls revealing the time, date and place of their deaths. “With his preferences for static, colourless visuals and exposition-laden dialogue over conversation, the director has now set the bar for the worst film of 2008,” Premiere “The nonchalance of Ed Burns [as the investigating police officer] slows down the film. You literally can’t wait for some creepy little girl to crawl out of a deep, dark well and eat him." The Guardian

“A potentially disposable, tongue-in-cheek First Blood pastiche turns out to be a deeply effective, surprisingly touching tale of family and childhood friendship.” (Review by Empire). A charming British film about kids who worship celluloid, Son of Rambow is the newest piece of eccentricity from Garth Jennings, the energetic British director who recently brought new life to The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy. Growing up fatherless in a strictly religious sect, Will is something of an outsider until he befriends Lee Carter, a kid teetering on the wrong side of the tracks. Lee enrols Will as stuntman in the film he is trying to make one hazy summer, and together they embark on a journey of self-discovery. “A likeable, lightly sticky valentine to childhood, the 1980s and the dawning of movie love,” said the New York Times.

The sequel to 2006’s Step Up, this is perhaps as formulaic as films get, but then formula suits this particular type of movie perfectly. The film has some exhilarating choreography although Empire reviewed the film as suffering "from a lack of real charisma". When rebellious street dancer Andie lands at the elite Maryland School of the Arts, she finds herself fighting to fit in while also trying to hold onto her old life. When she joins forces with the schools hottest dancer, Chase, to form a crew of classmate outcasts to compete in Baltimore's underground dance battle The Streets, she ultimately finds a way to live her dream while building a bridge between her two separate worlds. Like Flashdance and Fame before it, Step Up 2: The Streets stretches the boundaries of believability by suggesting that every misunderstanding between human beings, even potentially violent ones, can be solved with a little shimmy on the dancefloor.

Based on the best-selling novel The Other Boleyn Girl is a captivating tale of intrigue romance and betrayal. Two sisters Anne (Portman) and Mary (Johansson) are driven by their ambitious family to seduce the king of England (Bana) in order to advance their position in court. What starts as an opportunity for the girls to increase the family fortune becomes a deadly rivalry to capture the heart of a king and stay alive. “This is absurd yet enjoyable, and playing fast and loose with English history is a refreshing alternative to slow and tight solemnity. The effect is genial, even mildly subversive.” The Guardian. “A Renaissance soap opera in which the frocks are heavy, colourful and gorgeously embroidered.” Empire Written by Peter Morgan (The Last King Of Scotland; The Queen) Running Time: 115 minutes
