David Fincher follows his mega-hit, The Social Network, with this English-language take of the Swedish film based on Stieg Larsson's sensationally successful best seller. This is the gripping story of campaigning journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) and his partnership with the spiky, sassy Lisbeth Salander, the most original heroine to appear in years. Drawn into the murky world of corporate corruption, punk hacker Salander proves to be an extraordinarily resourceful ally in Blomkvist’s fight to expose financial fraud and to track down a serial killer.

Told solely through the use of archival footage, Senna is bursting with awesome racing sequences, but what makes this film so riveting is the remarkable personality of the man himself. This is your last chance to see this where it should be seen - on the big s...

Superbly acted from an excellent script this plunges you into life in Tehran and tricks you into believing it’s unfolding in real time, even though what it doesn’t show is as important to its ethically teasing dynamic as what it reveals.

Small decisions have big repercussions and you’re never sure who’s right or wrong as we see the story from various viewpoints.

Love her or loathe her, this is a fascinating, intimate portrait of Margaret Thatcher, with Meryl Streep as the absolute embodiment of Maggie herself. Mere mention of her name still provokes hugely emotional responses so this will no doubt will inspire furious arguments as to her legacy. But this isn’t a documentary on the Thatcher years but an exploration of one remarkable woman’s ambition and the price she paid as she hand-bagged her way to success. Whatever your politics what is undeniable is that Maggie came from nowhere (sorry Grantham!) to make her mark as one of the 20th century's most famous, influential and controversial women.

Hawaiian lawyer Matt King (Clooney) has always been the backup parent, so

With his acute observations of human shortcomings Payne (Sideways) moves seamlessly from wry humour to heartbreaking sadnes...
No Longer Showing
At moments hilarious and others touching, this an entertaining 'no business like show business' story that revolves around the shooting of The Prince And The Showgirl starring Sir Laurence Olivier (Branagh) and Marilyn Monroe (Williams) in 1956. Lowly assistant Colin (Redmayne) befriends the emotionally fragile screen goddess and so gets to see the clash of titanic egos up close and personal. The Oscar talk has already started for Williams who nails the troubled Monroe's combination of needy little girl lost, spontaneous actress and intoxicating sexpot. But its Branagh who steals the show, as the vain Olivier whose desire for Marilyn turns t...
