There’s no denying the devastating emotional impact of Incendies; it’s a tale of war, of frustration, of grief, of revenge and of survival against all the odds. Centring on a daughter’s desire to unravel her mother’s mysterious past, it’ll stay with you long after the end credits. Just don’t take any snack that could be fashioned into an impromptu noose.

Michael Bay’s Transformers franchise is like marmite: you either love it, or hate it. Admiration for these films may or may not come from being an ultimate sci-fi geek, but one thing’s for sure Transformers: Dark of the Moon sure does know how to get your various lubricative juices flowing (a mechanical pun in case you wondered. Wash out your crude minds!)

He’s been the driving force behind some of the most elegant and successful animated films of all time, he’s won two Oscars in four years, and now he’s taking over the Mission: Impossible franchise from J.J.

We’ll order the pizza, dudes.

Geez, take your time guys.

Tom Cruise. Aliens. Robots. Action. WIN.

The release of 13 Assassins has brought with it the most petrifying and believable villain that has graced our cinema screens in a long time.

Director Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson bring together a cast of new and returning faces for one more stab at the post-modern Scream franchise. With an abundance of recent horror history ripe for the picking, they succeed beautifully in rebooting the formula while staying true to the mission statement that started it all.

Things I Learned From Watching Life, Above All: if you don’t a) fall down a hole and die, b) nearly get stoned to death by your village or c) get forced into prostitution and then have your face cut up by a rapist, you will probably die of AIDS. OR all of the above will happen to everyone dear to you and you’ll be left alone in the world. Yay!
