• Cast: Animated by Nakamura Takashi, with the voices of Iwata Mitsue, Sasaki Nozomu, Koyama Mami, Ishida Taro.

Based on the multi-volume graphic novel by Otomo, Akira is a mythical, futuristic tale of post-holocaust Tokyo, where pill-popping biker kids begin to unearth a government project designed to exploit the psychic and telekinetic powers of a group of laboratory-bound children. Superbly animated, with a fantastic visual and narrative imagination, but you'd be well advised to know something of the plot before you see it.

Ria (Temple) and Joseph (Spall) head to Blackpool to get away from Ria's pimp boyfriend Dex (Ryan). Spall is mesmerising and Temple is magnetic and convincing, but despite the good intentions and superb acting it's underwritten and has nothing very original to say.

Twelve-year-old Josh (David Moscow) has no luck with the school beauty because of his diminutive stature. However, upon discovering a neglected fairground wishing machine, he wakes next morning to find himself wrapped in adult packaging (Hanks). Of all the body-swap movies, Big is by far the most successful, because Hanks offers a most appealing characterisation as the dopey innocent at large, and because it treats the situation with a little intelligence.

Three 17th century witches are brought back to life in modern-day Salem, and go searching for young blood to keep them immortal. Max (Katz) is our hapless hero, helped out of one predicament to the next by resourceful heroine Allison (Vinessa Shaw). The story cracks along, the effects are moderate, the gags good, but it's for the younger end of the teen market.

Jolly, if sadistic, scare-comedy antics produced by teen flick veteran John Hughes.

During a desperate, hastily conceived heist, they charm a stranger (Gina Rodriguez) into joining their next scam, only to have their entire world turned upside down.

Maud (Clark) is an obsessively religious nurse, working in palliative care for retired dancer Amanda (Ehle), whose uninhibited lifestyle sets Maud on edge. Impressive first feature from Glass, which turns into a surreal nightmare of loneliness and doom: barnstorming performances from Clark and Ehle set the screen on fire.
