Never Let Me Go

Based loosely on the best selling novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, this movie seems to have left many baffled in it's wake - just from the trailer you get an uneasy feeling about what the movie is actually about...

It's got an awesome line-up of stars from Andrew Garfield and Carey Mulligan to Keira Knightley, who we watch grow up in what seems an idyllic British country side. As they grow up, they have to come to terms with the love they feel for each other, but also prepare themselves for a haunting reality that awaits them...What it and let us know what you think!

Red Riding Hood

Enjoy Twilight? Well the director Catherine Hardwicke is back with something a little more classical -Red Riding Hood like you never new before! Complete with werewolves, human sacrifices and a passionate love triangle, the film will single-handedly put fairytales back on the cool list. It's moody, sexy and slick and stars a pouty Amanda Seyfried as the hooded beauty, and Gary Oldman as the wolf-hunting beast. We like.

The Fighter

Here is one from the Oscar list! Although it didn't win Best Picture, it's didn't make the nomination list for nothing!

The film is based on the true story of a relatively unknown boxer, Micky Ward, and it takes a look at not only some awesome fighting scenes, but all the internal conflicts of his life too.

A talented fighter, Micky family are just one of the obstacles to success - but how do you tell your family to butt-out without losing their support which you desperately need? Mark Wahlberg (playing Micky) spent four years prepping for this passion project, and it shows; he's great. It is a super-skinny Christian Bale playing Dicky, however, who steals the show. Intense, scary and more believable than ever, he's a glorious sight to behold.

How Do You Know?

It's really hard to dislike a "romcom" starring Reese Witherspoon. Which means it's doubly hard to dislike a romcom starring Reese AND Owen Wilson. And then there's Paul Rudd too, who plays this really cute, if somewhat lost, guy who makes silly faces and makes you smile.

Okay, so I'm sounding like a real girly girl here, but this is all just to help the men out there who are trying to decide what to take their ladies to watch. Unless you're totally stone-hearted you will find this frivolous love story enjoyable in some way, shape or form.

The King's Speech

George VI never wanted to be King of England, but when his brother, Edward, forfeited the crown by marrying an American divorcee, George was forced to lead the nation during one it's most troubling times in history - the Second World War. King or not though, George had one major problem: he had a stutter. And a bad one! Given that he needed to inspire an uprising against Hitler, his stutter became a major problem.

It was George's wife, Elizabeth, who introduced him to a crazy Aussie speech therapist, who ultimately saved the day in more ways than one. While this might not sound like the most riveting story, the director of the film has poured so much heart into it that the result is compelling. On top of this, Colin Firth's portrayal of George is flawless and inspiring and will almost certainly win him the Best Actor Oscar this year. If you're looking for stellar acting and a good human drama, book now!

Black Swan

This movie has everything going for it - but you have to be ready to be seriously creeped out! Directed by the brilliant Darren Aronofsky (he directed The Wrestler and Requiem for a Dream), it's a dark, mind-muddling story that leaves you questioning your reality. Natalie Portman plays the lead with such intensity that it's no surprise she's the forerunner in the Best Actress Oscar race.

Forget the fact that it is centred around the Swan Lake ballet. Don't let your boyfriend use this as an excuse not to see it.

Tangled

In this modern-day, Disney-animated version of Rapunzel, the handsome prince is actually a petty thief called Flynn, and Rapunzel is a self-sufficient young woman who uses her wily hair to capture him when he tries to seek refuge in her tower.

There's a dashing white horse, a chameleon, an evil momma and, of course, a daring rescue and lots of other twists and turns, all making this my favourite animated film of the year so far. Pure, unadulterated fun!

Rating: 4/5
