American Reunion

  • Directed by: Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg
  • Written by: Jon Hurwitz
  • Cast: Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Seann William Scott

The American Pie gang have a 13-year reunion and contemplate some familiar problems about love, sex and intimacy. A fun nostalgia trip that rates the heart as important as the other bodily parts; the original cast are as likable (or not) as ever. Nothing very revelatory but plenty of laughs.

Dark Shadows

  • Directed by: Tim Burton
  • Written by: John August, Seth Grahame-Smith
  • Cast: Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter, Eva Green, Jackie Earle Haley, Jonny Lee Miller, Chloë Grace Moretz, Bella Heathcote

18th century vampire Barnabas Collins (Depp) escapes from his coffin to find himself in Maine in 1972. It's fun, thanks to a smart script and plenty of surreal humour; Burton regulars Depp and Bonham-Carter are a hoot, but Moretz and Green could have used more restraint.

  • 2012
  • US
  • 15
  • Directed by: Larry Charles
  • Written by: Sacha Baron Cohen, Alec Berg
  • Cast: Sacha Baron Cohen, Anna Faris, John C. Reilly

Admiral General Aladeen (Cohen) is the titular dictator: a sexist, racist, fascist pig with a penchant for execution, who during a trip to the UN is betrayed by his right-hand man (Kingsley). The jokes come thick, fast and obvious but despite moments of solid satire it feels a bit stale.

  • Directed by: Ben Drew
  • Written by: Ben Drew
  • Cast: Riz Ahmed, Natalie Press, Mem Ferda

Six interweaved storylines about violence, prostitution and drugs, all set around London's Forest Gate. The directorial debut of Ben Drew (aka hip-hop artist Plan B) is raw, uncompromising and ambitious; Drew elicits great performances and takes trouble to understand his wayward characters. A kind of hoodie Magnolia.

  • Cast: Hugh Grant, Salma Hayek, Jeremy Piven, Imelda Staunton, David Tennant

An inept pirate captain (Grant) attempts to win Pirate of the Year competition with the help of a young Charles Darwin (Tennant). Aardman's humour sometimes seems dated but Grant is pleasing, the visuals are enchanting, Staunton's Queen Victoria is a riot and there's much for the whole family to treasure.

  • Written by: John Ridley
  • Cast: Cuba Gooding Jr., Gerald McRaney, David Oyelowo

In WW II Italy, a crew of African-American trainee airmen defy both Nazi pilots and institutional racism, under the leadership of Major Stance (Gooding) and Colonel Bullard (Howard). Lashings of expensively rendered CGI action can't make up for thin characterization, hoary clichés and crude simplifications.
