There’s no doubt about it; cinema ain’t what it used to be. What with new and improved seating, 3D films assaulting your retinas and more snacks then you can shake your expanding belly at, going to the flicks has become somewhat different to that of our forefathers. So who’s for an extra-crispy, oven-roasted, honey-glazed, menagerie of cinema with extra sprinkles, all topped with a quails egg?
A documentary that simultaneously makes you despair at and exalt in the capacity of our fellow man, The Big Uneasy is an absolute must-watch. Uncovering the real story behind the New Orleans disaster of 2005, it’s a tale of government blunders, buried reports and continuing oversights that culminate in a conclusion far more terrifying than any Hollywood thrill ride. It’s just a shame that John Goodman keeps interrupting.

Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith will once again be joining forces in the third Men in Black film.
Bringing Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp together in one film was always going to result in one of two things; either their combined beauty power would tear a hole in the universe and we would all get sucked into a horrifying charsima-vortex, or a sex-a-rifficly gorgeous film would get produced. Having seen the trailer, we’re still hoping its the latter.
Wonderfully acted and beautifully shot, Winter’s Bone has been causing a sensation on the festival circuit. Yet although the film may deliver as a piece of cinema, its story leaves little impact. A bit like looking at a lovely painting of nothing in particular.
After four seasons of insane-in-the-membrane teenage antics, it’s time to prepare yourself for Skins: The Movie. So get up, get out there and start behaving like raucous kids with nothing better to do than make a mess. And we’re not talking about finger painting. You have until the summer.
With Jon Hamm the latest casting rumour to emerge from the Warner-DC superhero camp, could TV’s Don Draper be The (Mad) Man of Steel?
