The Dark Knight (12a)

IT’S one of the year’s most anticipated films. It’s broken box office records in America with the biggest-ever opening weekend. Read

Donkey Punch (18)

It gets laughable by the end, but this is an original and pretty entertaining take on the young holidaymakers in peril movie. Read

Meet Dave (PG)

OK, I admit it. I laughed, several times, at an Eddie Murphy film. Read

WALL-E (U)

Its charming, amusing and enjoyable, but not as amazing as Toy Story or The Incredibles. I'd say it was more of a Ratatouille or Monsters Inc, which is certainly no bad thing. Read

The Forbidden Kingdom (12a)

AMERICAN teenager Jason (Michael Angarano) is a huge fan of kung fu films. He loves hanging out at the pawn shop in Chinatown, where he finds an ancient staff. Read

Journey To The Centre Of The Earth 3D (PG)

PROFESSOR Trevor Anderson (Brendan Fraser) is a college teacher, unsuccessfully trying to keep alive his late brother’s theories about seismic activity. Read

Mamma Mia! (PG)

MORE than 30 million people can’t be wrong. Read

The Mist (15)

FRANK Darabont and Stephen King last teamed up to create the prison classics The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, so we have high hopes for their latest collaboration. Read

Kung Fu Panda (PG)

It’s not quite good enough to call it a Chinese cracker. Still, despite not being as brilliant as animated movies like Toy Story or Finding Nemo, it’s amusing enough to keep the family entertained. Read

Female Agents (15)

SET in France in 1944, a British army geologist with vital knowledge of the location of the forthcoming D-Day landings lies injured in hospital, pretending to be a German soldier. Read

Wanted (18)

It would have been even better, and achieved a wider audience, if they’d toned down the relentless violence and settled for a 15 certificate, but that’s about my only complaint. Read

The Edge Of Love (15)

WELSH poet Dylan Thomas (Matthew Rhys) seems to have been a selfish, unpleasant man, yet somehow he had two gorgeous, clever women falling for him. This film still doesn’t explain how – surely writing the odd love poem wouldn’t be enough? Read

Prince Caspian (PG)

THE Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe was such a global hit that we wondered if the sequels could work as well – but director Andrew Adamson has outdone himself with the next Chronicles Of Narnia story. Read

In search of a midnight kiss (15)

NO-ONE wants to be alone on New Year’s Eve, especially not depressed, unemployed LA writer Wilson (Scoot McNairy). Read

The Escapist (15)

AN excellent British cast, including Brian Cox, Damian Lewis, Liam Cunningham, Steven Mackintosh and Joseph Fiennes, are assembled to play prison inmates in this gritty drama. Read

Teeth (18)

The best thing about this movie is its original premise. It’s a shame an interesting concept is not particularly well executed, Dawn (Jess Weixler) is a pretty but prudish teenager, a strong advocate of The Promise, whose members pledge to abstain from sex before marriage. Read

Adulthood (15)

THE 2006 movie Kidulthood ended with Sam Peel (Noel Clarke) battering Trife to death with a baseball bat. Read

The Ruins (18)

LAST week it was trees killing people in The Happening, and this week it’s death by talking vine. Read

Priceless (12A)

AUDREY Tautou, the French star of The Da Vinci Code and Amelie, is more gorgeous than ever in this witty, sexy and enjoyable movie. Read

The Happening (15)

WHOEVER made the trailer for this movie is a genius. They’ve managed to make it look exciting, tense and well-acted – everything, in fact, it isn’t. Read
