Allen Ginsberg’s landmark poem Howl is celebrated with style and verve by film-makers Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman in this experimental concoction of animation, historical re-enactment and faux interviews.

Excellent performances from Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams carry Derek Cianfrance’s romantic drama Blue Valentine; an intense and saddening portrayal of a couple’s courtship told in conjunction with scenes of their marriage’s potential breakdown. If only some time had been spared to show us what happened in between…

Tron Legacy, I feel for you. Why everyone is so surprised that you’ve turned out to be massively silly is beyond me. Tron was massively silly, and as we all know by now, the 00’s light-tastic apple never really falls far from the 80s synth tree. Hopelessly beautiful to look at, 3D-licious and utterly bonkers, there’s a lot to enjoy in this sexed-up sequel. Just as soon as you stop worrying about what on earth is going on.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway star in this refreshingly good romantic comedy drama. With commendable performances from both leads and a great supporting cast, Love and Other Drugs is a sexy and unconventional take on love and relationships.

Honeymooner tells the story of Fran, a man trying to put his life back together after his fiancee leaves him just weeks before his wedding. A relationship comedy that somehow manages to be neither touching nor funny. All at the same time.

On Tour is a smart, poignant and sharp exploration of relationships within a burlesque troupe as they and their French manager tour France. Sometimes funny, often sad and always fascinating, its a clever little fictitious exposition of the lives behind a seemingly glamorous world.

Disney brings us the true story of Secretariat, the most successful race-horse in United States history. Diane Lane and John Malkovich star in this heartwarming equestrian cheese-fest.

Jolie and Depp pur in good performances in an otherwise by-the-numbers thriller, but the spectacular setting and great cast are unfortunatly unable to save this film from mediocrity.

“Hello, I’m unpredictable French actor, director and general firebrand Xavier Beauvois; you may remember me from angsty 90s films overflowing with AIDS such as Don’t Forget You’re Going to Die. Oh, you don’t? No matter. Anyway, what I’d like to do now is make a film based on the true story of a momentous encounter between fundamentalist Islamists and the Trappist community of a small monastery in Algeria. I’m confident that it will be serene and nearly perfect.” He wasn’t wrong, you know.

Aslan is back and working in yet more mysterious ways as the younger Pevensies return to Narnia with their unsuspecting cousin. Tasked with delivering the Seven Swords of the Seven Lords to Aslan’s Table (lions don’t have opposable thumbs, you see), the threesome are individually tested as they continue their Narnian adventures. After the disappointing Prince Caspian, can Michael Apted bring magic and wonder back to the world beyond the wardrobe?
