2012 - Prepare yourself - it's the end of the world in a couple of years' time and there's not much we can do. This is big on bangs, not so good on actual story, acting, dialogue etc etc. Maybe it's a future cheesy classic... but with a huge budget, premise and running time surely this should have been more than just cheese? Starring John Cusack. 1 star

Harry Brown - Some seriously ballsy stuff from Sir Michael Caine as avigilante pensioner tackling gang crime on his housing estate. It's an odd mix - half a sensitive look at ageing, half badass gun-slinging - but there are enough intense moments to make it worth your while. 3 stars.

Amelia - Double Oscar winner Hillary Swank may have been gunning for a third with this biopic of legendary 1930s pilot Amelia Earhart but her obsession with inane grinning throughout the movie won't win any gongs. It's very glossy and slick - but ultimately it's turned a story of daring and passion into something very flat. With Richard Gere. 2 stars.
