The Muppets
Muppet Treasure Island starred TIM CURRY for Fozzie’s sake, giving some of the best acting the world has ever seen to, essentially, someone’s right hand!
The Grey
Liam Neeson heads up a group of oil rig workers whose plane crashes in Alaska.
Coriolanus
Make it your new year’s resolution to get a bit of culture and start with this adaptation of a lesser known Shakespeare play...
Underworld: Awakening 3D
Kate Beckinsale returns in PVC for the fourth instalment in the Vampire/Werewolf series.
Shame
It’s written and directed by UK artist Steve McQueen, so it should be “arty”. And by that I mean borderline porn!
The Iron Lady
"It looks like this film is in much safer hands than the coal mines (again, ask your dad)..."
MIssion Impossible 4
Crazy stunts and explosions galore - definitely one for the action fans.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
My initial distrust for US remakes gives way when faced with the idea of David Fincher directing, and with a soundtrack from Trent Reznor. If it doesn’t work, you can always just shut your eyes.
Sherlock Holmes 2
The plot thickens as Robert Downey Jr. returns as the world’s most famous fictional detective. I prefer Columbo personally, but the last one was pretty good.
The Thing
Atmospheric horror remake, lots of snow and blood – sounds like last Christmas.
Happy Feet 2
"It also includes the new post Ice Age trend for having incidental comic relief. Instead of a squirrel with an acorn, it’s a pair of existentially pondering krill named Will and Bill..."
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1
"Glittery vampires, werewolves with six packs, yet somehow less than six nipples..."
The Rum Diary
"Fewer bats and more ex-pats than Fear and Loathing..."
The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence
"Another sicko, another centipede..."
Machine Gun Preacher
"Gerard Butler finally shows that he can act..."
Immortals
"The job falls to a peasant who appears to have been groomed by Zeus since birth like some Olympian rent boy..."
Real Steel
Rocky with robots. Surely there will be a montage, probably it will this time involve welding. Awesome!
The Three Musketeers 3D
The four (?) famous Frenchmen save France again, this time in 3d mostly facing the screen.
Hell and Back Again
Interesting and very personal look at being a soldier in and after Afghanistan, straight from the Sundance film festival.
Don't Be Afraid of the Dark
Written by Guillermo Del Toro, this film promises genuine chills as a young girl moves into an old house to find something already living within its walls.
Paranormal Activity 3
"This time the date on the camera is 1988, so we also know that the camera they are using will only have enough battery for an hour’s recording..."
