Carnage
- 2011
- France/Germany/Poland/Spain
- 79 min
- 15
- Directed by: Roman Polanski
- Cast: Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz, John C Reilly
A playground spat between two boys causes their parents to try to settle their differences. There's little attempt to disguise the film's theatrical origins, but it plays out at such a blistering pace and boasts such exuberant performances that it's hard not to give in to it. Fast, funny and filthy.

Casablanca
- 1942
- US
- 102 min
- PG
- Directed by: Michael Curtiz
- Cast: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid
You must remember this … Bogart being impossibly noble, Bergman torn between two lovers, Claude Rains playing both ends against the middle, devious Nazis, a fogbound airport, a piano-player tinkling that tune. A wonderful hill of beans.

Coriolanus
- 2011
- UK
- 123 min
- 15
- Directed by: Ralph Fiennes
- Cast: Ralph Fiennes, Gerard Butler, Vanessa Redgrave, Brian Cox, Jessica Chastain, Paul Jesson
Coriolanus (Fiennes) is a valiant Roman soldier whose contempt for the masses causes him to fall victim to the city's scheming politicians. Fiennes, debuting as director, creates a modern day, war-torn Rome using Serbian locations, restless cinematography and an excellent cast, making this a powerful and resonant reimagining of Shakespeare's tragedy.

J Edgar
- 2011
- US
- 137 min
- 15
- Directed by: Clint Eastwood
- Written by: Dustin Lance Black
- Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Armie Hammer, Naomi Watts, Josh Lucas, Judi Dench
Biopic of former head of the FBI, J Edgar Hoover, touching on his alleged homosexuality and cross-dressing tendencies as well as a sentimental trip through the defining moments of his career. This subject matter is handled sensitively, and the film is well acted (especially by DiCaprio in the title role) but overall feels unfocused and lacking the type of authority that made Hoover himself such a formidable figure in American history.

Kiss Me Deadly
- 1955
- US
- 105 min
- 18
- Directed by: Robert Aldrich
- Cast: Ralph Meeker, Maxine Cooper, Albert Dekker, Paul Stewart, Cloris Leachman
Private eye Mike Hammer picks up a girl on a motorway, and winds up with a corpse on his hands. Thus begins a quest into the unknown in search of 'the great whatsit'. Beautifully acted by a group of actors who never really got their due in Tinseltown, author and screenwriter AI Bezzerides' script has a kind of disparity and desperation in its meter that is at least ten years ahead of its time.

Martha Marcy May Marlene
- 2011
- US
- 102 min

- Directed by: Sean Durkin
- Written by: Sean Durkin
- Cast: Elizabeth Olsen, John Hawkes, Sarah Paulson, Hugh Dancy
A young woman (Olsen) returns to the house of her sister (Paulson) after two years as a cult member. Olsen is breathtaking, but although Durkin is to be applauded for avoiding melodrama and pat resolutions, the film lacks intensity and could have used a little more narrative meat on its bones.

- Directed by: Madonna
- Written by: Madonna, Alek Keshishian
- Cast: Abbie Cornish, James D'Arcy, Andrea Riseborough, Oscar Isaac
Madonna's second film as director focuses on the affair between King Edward VIII and American divorcée Wallis Simpson and parallels the story with a contemporary tryst between a married woman a Russian security guard. Flatly acted and stiffly structured, the film's brazenly sumptuous look and gorgeous costumes give it a substantial entertainment value, even if the results are patchy.
