Sun, 05 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT

WALT Disney's daughter Diane might be getting on but she has inherited the inner steel that helped to propel her father to the top.

Best Laid Plans review and trailer

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT

JOHN Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men is transported to the mean streets of Nottingham. It isn't the smoothest transition but strong performances from Stephen Graham and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje keep the idea afloat.

The Grey film review and trailer

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT

A SURVIVAL thriller featuring a man who - at least at first - doesn't want to survive is the compelling set up for the The Grey, a muscular and much better than expected genre film from director Joe Carnahan (improving no end on his last effort, The A-Team).

The Descendants film review and trailer

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT

GEORGE Clooney has long revealed himself to be one of the smartest actors in Hollywood, skillfully undercutting his matinee idol persona playing characters never quite as smooth, together or virtuous as they first seem (Up In The Air, Michael Clayton, The Ides Of March).

The Sitter film review and trailer

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT

THE Sitter is a juvenile yawn in which Jonah Hill's slothful babysitter drags his three annoying charges around nighttime New York in pursuit of drugs and a beautiful girl.
