Promising student Jeff (Chon) is coerced by best friends Miller (Teller) and Casey (Astin) into going on a drinking spree the night before his medical school interview. The central trio lack presence, the gags mostly miss and it's not as much fun as Lucas and Moore's script for The Hangover.

Tightly-structured thriller set in the world of high-flying money-makers, mergers and acquisitions. Gere plays a hedge fund billionaire who's financial dealings are jeopardised when his affair with an art gallery owner spirals out of control. And while there are no hugely original elements here, Jarecki handles each story strand with skill.

• Cast: Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, Michael J Pollard, Gene Hackman, Estelle Parsons

This stylish and gritty account of the relationship and activities of two self-publicised bank robbers was a late-1960s milestone in making extreme screen violence curiously fashionable. Great performances from Hackman and Dunaway, a genuine sense of the thrill involved in their nefarious activities, and telling period detail make this one of Penn's best.

• Cast: Eric Bana, Olivia Wilde, Charlie Hunnam

In the aftermath of a bungled heist, brother and sister crooks Addison (Bana) and Liza (Wilde) split up to avoid detection, only to be unexpectedly reunited at a Thanksgiving dinner. Among an exceptional cast Wilde is sympathetic and Bana brings intensity, but it's a contrived story with a two-dimensional script.

Mary Katherine (voiced by Seyfried) joins the fray – on the side of good, one suspects – in order to help save this magical world – and ours.

Pixar's delightful tale of a little fish and his daddy's attempts to find him when he gets scooped out of the water by a human. Clever, funny and better than The Little Mermaid (just).

Sofia (Washington) and Malcolm (Hickson) are teenage graffiti artists who plan to tag the Mets' Apple, a giant trophy which only appears when the New York Mets get a home run. A slightly meandering plot adds to the relaxed tone, and the film is pulled off with naturalistic grace.

When a team of Korean paramilitaries take the US President (Eckhart) hostage, it's up to disgraced security chief Mike Banning (Butler) to stage a rescue attempt. In its certainty about good guys and bad guys it has a certain nostalgic seduction, but it's basically derivative, cheesy and fantastically unconvincing.

Princess Buttercup is chosen by the nasty Prince Humperdinck to be his bride but her heart belongs to the farm boy Westley. The princess' kidnapping prompts the return of Westley, now a pirate, and launches a series of swashbuckling adventures, after which true love can prevail. William Goldman's heavily ironic fairy tale is given a spirited treatment by the director of Stand By Me and an enthusiastic troupe.

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.

John Hodge's screenplay perfectly captures the desperate humour of Irvine Welsh's novel, keeping the episodic structure of junkie scenes for the first half before concentrating on Renton in London in the later stages. Fast and stylish direction, with a creative soundtrack and acting that's off-the-rails excellent, this cinematic blast from beginning to end shows a complex – and true – understanding of the lure and fatal consequences of drug-taking.
