• Cast: Matt Damon, Michael Douglas, Rob Lowe

Soderbergh goes for his sabbatical on a high, with this sparkling account of the relationship between flamboyant pianist Liberace (Douglas) and his much younger lover Scott Thorson (Damon). The two leads are outstanding, and with wonderful cameos from Lowe, Reynolds and Aykroyd it's a surprisingly tender and poignant film.

• Written by: Marlon Wayans, Rick Alvarez
• Cast: Marlon Wayans, Marlene Forte, Essence Atkins

Scene-by-scene spoof of the Paranormal Activity movies, in which Malcolm (Wayans) invites his girlfriend Kisha (Atkins) to his home, only for their evening to be spoiled by predatory white neighbours, a gay psychic, a demon and the fact that Kisha sleeps in a hairnet. Derivative, mean-spirited, misogynistic and shambolic.

• Directed by: Joss Whedon
• Written by: William Shakespeare, Joss Whedon
• Cast: Alexis Denisof, Amy Acker, Fran Kranz, Nathan Fillion

Shakespeare's spiky, witty, problematic play is the grandparent of the modern romcom, and Whedon's version is no stunt: he's been conducting private readings of it for years. The actors are experienced and adept (with Acker a particular pleasure as Beatrice) and it's realised with simplicity, elegance and emotional directness.

When ex-Starfleet commander John Harrison (Cumberbatch) attacks Earth, the Enterprise crew pursues him. It's more of the same: funny, dramatic and exciting, and if it's not as fresh as the 2009 film, Pine and Quinto's squabbling bromance gives it heart, Pegg and Urban are excellent and Cumberbatch is thrillingly cold.
