If you only go to see one Jihadist comedy this year, make it this one.
The Lovely Bones is, as a movie not living in the shadow of the book upon which it is based, unique and engaging, and full of a very frightening Stanley Tucci.
Historically inaccurate and over the top it may be, but this lesson in how to use CGI properly is certainly a lot of fun. Unless, of course, you are the Dictator of Iran.
A Roman adventure yarn that, despite some decent action and an interesting enough plot, annoys in a hundred different ways
A fun but pretty pointless sequel that retraces a lot of old ground and wastes a talented supporting cast in favour of an all-out blanket coverage on Robert Downey Jr.’s superhero.
Gervais and Merchant and the young cast do some things right with this feel-good Kitchen Sinker but the clichéd storytelling and heavy-handed lessons on life let it down.
Letters to God is a sweet tribute to a real-life little boys courageous fight with cancer but as a movie, despite some good performances, it wont appeal to everyone.
This American Civil War epic has the feeling of a made-for-TV movie but is carried by a truly inspiring story and some excellent performances.
Justin Molotnikov delivers an excellent film debut with a darkly comic thriller that presents well-paced storytelling, inventive flourishes and two quality leads.

A gentle culture clash comedy that’s easy on the brain. Dave Boyle packs in likeable characters and clever observational humour.
