From: £10.99

The Ugly Truth

Director: Robert Luketic

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Rated: 15

"The Ugly truth is a charmless battle-of-the-sexes rom-com that tries to be sassy but is entirely misjudged in its direction.  The only good thing about this film is Gerard Butler who oozes charisma -it’s only a shame the script doesn’t match his abilities."

From: £9.98

The Time Traveller's Wife

Director: Robert Schwentke

Genre: Drama

Rated: 12A

"Although not quite living up to the book, The Time Traveller’s Wife is a fantastic heart-rending love story with two suburb performances from Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana. If you can keep up with the time changes and conundrums, the intensity of the tale will keep you glued to the screen!"

From: £8.95

The Firm

Director: Nick Love

Genre: Drama

Rated: 18

"The Firm, Nick Love’s remake of the 1989 movie of the same name, is a warm, stylish and senselessly violent insight into British football hooliganism. It doesn’t break any boundaries with its story; however, it makes up for it with some of the best putdowns, razor-sharp dialogue and performances in its genre."

From: £11.95

500 Days Of Summer

Director: Marc Webb

Genre: Comedy

Rated: 15

"500 Days Of Summer is a fresh, charming and non-formulaic romantic comedy, which throws all its genre’s conventions out of the window. It distortedly tells the  story of failed love, but even at its saddest points is still funny, energetic and thoroughly entertaining."

From: £8.99

Dorian Gray

Director: Oliver Parker

Genre: Drama

Rated: 15

"Dorian Gray may be an uber-stylish piece of historical horror, but it doesn’t do it’s Oscar Wilde roots any justice. Don’t get me wrong, it is watchable and quite entertaining, but it could have been more adventurous in terms of film making and is lacking the writer’s infamous wit and observation."

From: £6.85

District 9

Director: Neill Blomkamp

Genre: Sci-fi / Fantasy

Rated: 15

"This imaginative and perfectly executed film has all the ingredients of a thoroughly enjoyable science-fiction epic. It’s brave, highly original and packed with emotion and suspense - a great debut movie for Bloomkamp!"

 

From: £7.00

The Hurt Locker

Director: Kathryn Bigelow

Genre: Action

Rated: 15

"This is a gritty, riveting, well-acted and beautifully constructed war epic that conveys vividly what it’s like to be a modern solider on the frontline in Iraq. One of the best war films ever made in my opinion!"

 

From: £6.85

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

Director: Phil Lord, Chris Miller

Genre: Children's

Rated: U

"This family friendly film is weird but wonderful. With utterly charming characters, bizarre humour and a food-frenzied plot – it’s one of the tastiest animations around!"

 

From: £5.99

Inglourious Basterds

Director: Quentin Tarantino

Genre: Action

Rated: 18

"Tarantino has done it again with this unrestrained, unpredictable, rollercoaster of a film. Tinged with his trademark dark comedy, this war flick will thoroughly entertain you – but beware it's not for the faint hearted!"

 

From: £3.99

Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince

Director: David Yates

Genre: Fantasy

Rated: 12A

"The visually stunning Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince is a much more sombre affair compared to the other films, but it fantastically builds the tension for the series’ finale and leaves you wanting more."

 

From: £6.85

Orphan

Director: Jaume Collet-Serra

Genre: Horror

Rated: 15

"Orphan may be overly long but the mounting horror and shocking twist does more than make up for it. The performances are far better than you’d expect for this type of film and the chilling story will haunt you long after the film is over."

 

From: £6.99

My Sister's Keeper

Director: Nick Cassavetes

Genre: Drama

Rated: 12A

"My Sister’s Keeper is an emotionally draining tearjerker that’s heavy handed approach ends up crushing a delicate subject – Although this film does have some outstanding performances, in my opinion you’re better off reading the book! 

 

From: £5.00

Transformers Revenge of The Fallen

Director: Michael Bay

Genre: Adventure Animation

Rated: 12A

"The special effects in Transformers Revenge of the Fallen are mind blowing, but the length is mind-numbing! This may be a loud, brash and brutal popcorn-munching action film, but unfortunately it seems to lack ambition and direction!"

From: £6.89

Moon

Director: Duncan Jones

Genre: Adventure Animation

Rated: 15

"Moon, Duncan Jone’s intense Sci-Fi is intelligent, creepy and extremely thought-provoking. The acting is absorbing and is far more satisfying than many of the glossy blockbusters out there."

From: £4.99

Monsters Vs Aliens

Director: Rob Letterman

Genre: Adventure Animation

Rated: PG

"Skilfully voiced, utterly charming and rib-tickilingly funny, Monster’s Vs Aliens is great family fun!"

From: £5.00

Star Trek XI

Director: J.J Abrams

Genre: Science-Fiction

Rated: 12A

"With its strong storyline, fantastic visuals and superb performances, Star Trek XI will delight life-long Trekkies and new fans alike.  This film is genuinely impressive, it’s not only funny and exciting, and it’s also emotionally touching! One of the best Sci-fi titles to date!"

From: £4.85

Bruno

Director: Larry Charles

Genre: Comedy

Rated: 18

"Bruno is another thrillingly funny mockumentary from the rude, crude and offensive Sacha Baron Cohen.  It’s bad taste but you can’t help but enjoy it!"

From: £6.99

X Men Origins Wolverine

Director: Gavin Hood

Genre: Science-Fiction/ Fantasy

Rated: 12A

"X-Men Origins Wolverine is a bit of a mixed bag. Hugh Jackman is great and so are the action scenes, however, it’s all held together by a cliché-ridden narrative that’s utterly predictable."

From: £3.99

The Spirit

Director: Frank Miller

Genre: Action/Adventure

Rated: 12A

"The visuals in this film are edgy and memorable; however the storyline and characters are not. It’s intriguing enough to be watchable but as for a second viewing...I doubt it!"

From: £4.99

Marley & Me

Director: David Frankel

Genre: Comedy

Rated: PG

"Cute, sensitive and funny, Marley & Me will tug at your heart strings and leave you crying like a four-year-old - Perfect for pet owners!"

From: £4.49

Year One

Director: Harold Ramis

Genre: Comedy

Rated: 12A

"Although there are glimpses of comedic genius (most of them found in the trailer), ‘Year One’ is a disappointing and rather dull walk through biblical history - let’s just hope there’s no Year Two!"

From: £4.85

Last House OnThe Left

Director: Dennis Iliadis

Genre: Horror

Rated: 18

"Tamer than the original but still gory, The Last House On The Left makes for an unpleasant viewing experience. Nasty and predictable!"
