  • 118 min

  • Directed by: Steven Soderbergh
  • 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.

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.

  • Directed by: Peter Hedges
  • Written by: Peter Hedges
  • Cast: Jennifer Garner, Joel Edgerton, CJ Adams

Infertile parents Cindy (Garner) and Jim (Edgerton) are surprised when a mud-covered 10-year-old boy appears at their house, claiming them as his mum and dad. This Disney-style fairytale is well-meaning but too sentimental and contrived, and the combination of sensitive adult themes and family-friendly style seems misguided.

1990: five teenagers are desperate to see the Stone Roses' gonna-be-legendary outdoor gig at Spike Island, but a lack of tickets is the least of their problems. Skilfully filmed but clumsily written, it lacks emotional punch and it's hard to see what either teenagers or nostalgic fortysomethings will see in it.

Wreck-It Ralph
  • 4 stars
  • 2012
  • US
  • 108 min
  • Directed by: Rich Moore
  • Cast: Voices of John C Reilly, Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch

This cleverly-targeted family romp set in the world of videogames marks a step up both commercially and artistically for the non-Pixar side of Disney animation. The script is brilliantly witty; the visuals sweep, swoop and sparkle; and the message about flawed individuals finding their own way to be heroes is a kindly one, intelligently expressed.
