The following is a spoiler-free review of a film that should attain as much mystery as possible before being watched for the first time.

The director of A Single Man, Tom Ford is a gay fashion designer and so it follows that A Single Man is very gay and very fashionable.

Predators is a respectable stepping stone for the inevitable Predator franchise revival and while it in no way is a great film, it's worth watching for that hint of nostalgia and a Friday night-in dosage of mindless action-suspense.

The time you spend with Black Dynamite may be some of the best comedy film lovin' you'll ever have - watching him avenge his brother's death at the hands of The Man by pimp-slappin' and kung-fu fighting every gorilla eatin' goon in his way is more fun than you could possibly imagine.

Balagueró and his team took a big risk with [REC] 2 but their gamble has paid off: the connotations and subtext might irk some but I for one am grateful that the film goes the direction it does because [REC] 2 not only gives [REC] more purpose but it has given us the makings of a brilliant franchise.

Shrink sits contently on the observational deck of the film industry, casually mocking its counterparts while it exudes boldly quiet intelligence and charisma and its because of this that Shrink rises up and above its definably small origins.

It is because Morris expands his scope far beyond the simple but controversial premise of Four Lions that makes it so great.

"Fight, and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... our FREEDOM!!!'

While wonky pacing lets it down and it lacks the political subtext that Ridley would have you believe it contains, you could do a lot worse than Robin Hood this weekend.

Hot Tub Time Machine is the ultimate casual film - an abomination for those seeking highbrow visual entertainment but supreme hilarity for those looking for a cheeky dose of pure, unadulterated comedy crack.

The Losers is a simple and disposable action film. Shot like a music video and with characters more like action figures than actual people, it does what it says on its colourful tin.

Predictability while not rife is evident but you can forgive Favreau for inevitably displaying proudly his pride and joy even if we, the other kids of his street, knew what we were going to see. Not that it stops us from running in unexplainable excitement to where he's showing it off.

The Ghost Writer is very nearly a brilliant film but at half an hour too long and with an ending that feels too easy after the winding plot, it has to settle for above average. If you boycott this one out of principle, you won’t have missed a classic.

Venturing into an area of film I wouldn’t normally take interest in, I watched Dear John. Any film that knocks a film like Avatar off the top of the US Box Office deserves a look into. Dear John was popular enough to make back its $25 million production budget in the first weekend of release – I approached the film with some trepidation but I figured the statistics were justification enough for spending 105 minutes of my time...

Coming away from Leaves Of Grass, you may not have laughed your guts out at the jokes or cried your eyes out at the drama, but there is a distinct feeling of time well spent.

It's an outrageous romp, spurred on by Jim Carrey's hilarious antics.

This is a charming little film but the blurry mix of fact & fiction may confuse and Charlyene's falsely philosophical & anti-love character has the tendency to freeze the heartwarming nature of her antics.

This film is a bigger failure than the attempted robbery within it.

There's a charm to The Princess & The Frog that is aided by the jazzy vibe that the New Orleans setting brings.

It's ironic that if the film had more cash behind it it would have been a completely high quality experience. I'd say Ca$h certainly bettered my expectations though - it's better than average.

Damon's on great form, sliding into the shoes of Whitacre with ease. He gives The Informant! that quirky comedic edge it needs to keep you more than interested.

A titanic failure by all counts.

If the whole of Repo Men was anything like the last 20 minutes it would be worth going to the cinema to watch. The reality is that the film up until that point is for the most part a disaster.

The gritty, almost down-to-earth comedic style won't hit the mark for some but Woody Harrelson's sensational performance alone makes Defendor a film worth watching.

Rock out with your Glock out.

I went to watch Kick-Ass with expectations so high it seemed that pretty much no film could ever meet them. Kick-Ass did and it exceeded them.

I'm Here is an original artistic achievement that Spike Jonze gives so much soul to - it's a dream world which Jonze creates and envelops you into.

While it won't go down as a modern horror classic (with no help from the ironically crazy ending), The Crazies is far better than the jump scare focused trailers made out and it is finally a remake that Romero can be proud of.

Intelligent as well as loud, Green Zone is not only a well paced, shot and acted thriller but recreation of the confusion, anger and doubt that surrounded the early days the Iraq war. Far from the leftist propaganda that some idiot critics have labeled the film, Green Zone is one of the best films of the year so far.

Terence: "Shoot him again." "Midget": "What for?" Terence: "His soul is still dancing..."

It's an engaging and relentlessly pretty trip down the rabbit hole, but with sloppy pacing and cut/paste characters, you're unlikely to loose yourself there.

An interesting life captured in a great set of films, but....

From Paris With Love isn't a masterpiece of modern cinema, it's just an hour and a half of stuff blowing up, people shooting people, John Travolta being a badass, bad one-liners, some well-shot scenes and a generic action feel. Doesn't mean it's a bad film though.

You know what? I'll be damned if I'm going to have the mass of critics that contradict or condemn my opinion because I'm in the minority affect how I felt about this film. For me it was nothing short of incredible and it's become one of my favourite films in recent years.

The Lightning Thief is just one film in a long line of commercialised Hollywood franchises where real cinematic values get pushed aside for the sake of money-creating stereotypes.

Zombieland is a tight 88 minutes of well written and slickly produced comedy, it's not life-changing but it's a whole lot better than I expected it would be.

Shutter Island is nothing less than what I expected: a psychological, suspenseful and chilling thriller that shows DiCaprio's versatility and acting credentials whilst exhibiting some spectacular cinematography.

If you watch Daybreakers expecting to be entertained you will be to a certain extent but don't be too optimistic when approaching this film.

Sure the A to B, coming-of-age story isn't without fault and the country-western themes within the film aren't entirely original. Don't let the negatives take anything away from Jeff Bridges' sublime performance though.

I expected a lot from An Education and it still blew my expectations away, it is my favourite drama in recent memory.

You can see what Peter Jackson is trying to do with The Lovely Bones but the end product is a mixture of enjoyment and confusion.

It's disappointing that Legion turned out the way it did because it could have been much better.

Five brilliant individual performances, some excellent scriptwriting and the subtle elements of comedy to splice up the drama save 44 Inch Chest from being a letdown, had the awkward stereotypes, the heavy amount of dialogue and the barebones, sometimes just plain awkward situation influenced the flow of the film more.

The Book Of Eli is a lot better than the sum of its parts. The action, acting and writing are decent but it is the believable world and the thought provoking themes that lift The Book Of Eli above mediocrity.

Dante's Inferno - An Animated Epic is much more enjoyable than Dead Space: Downfall, boasting a better story, better animation and better acting.

Up In The Air is a relentlessly entertaining comedy that is paced to perfection. There is some harsh competition out this year, but I reckon Clooney might be in with a chance.

The Road is a stunningly shot, superbly acted adaption of what, judging by this film, is an excellent book.

General Broulard: "Colonel Dax! You will apologize at once or I shall have you placed under arrest!" Colonel Dax:" I apologize... for not being entirely honest with you. I apologize for not revealing my true feelings. I apologize, sir, for not telling you sooner that you're a degenerate, sadistic old man. And you can go to hell before I apologize to you now or ever again! "

Guy Ritchie might not have been your first choice director for bringing Sherlock Holmes back to life but he's done a rather good job of it, helped greatly by Robert Downey Jr & Jude Law's "buddy cop" relationship.

Spike Jonze has taken a beloved children's book and adapted it in such a unique and interesting way that it becomes its own success. Where The Wild Things Are is a special film, which leaves you with a heartwarming feeling few other emotionally-charged films fail to reach.
