1 District 9: SF dir. Neill Blomkamp starring: Jason Cope, Kenneth Nkosi, Sharlto Copley, Mandla Gaduka, Devlin Brown, William Allen Young, David James, Vanessa Haywood Verdict: While I enjoyed this at the cinema not sure I would watch it again. However watch it again over the weekend and it does stand up to a second viewing. Definitely worth a look if you haven’t seen it.

Wrong Turn 3:H dir. Tamer Hassan, Tom Frederic, Gil Kolirin, Borislav Illiev, Janet Montgomery, Tom McKay Verdict: First two films weren't great but okay. This one doesn't even reach that mark.

2 The Hurt Locker:W dir. Kathryn Bigelow starring: Evangeline Lilly, Ralph Fiennes, Anthony Mackie, Guy Pearce, David Morse, Jeremy Renner, Brian Geraghty, Christain Camargo Verdict: It’s been described as one of the best war movies in recent years so high hopes for this.

3 500 Days Of Summer:D dir. Marc Webb starring: Zooey Deschanel, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Clarck Gregg, Kelly Minka, Matthew Gray-Gubler, Rachel Boston, Geoffrey Arend, Chloe Grace Moretz Verdict: A rom com with a difference.

4 Mesrine – Parts 1 & 2:D dir. Jean-Francois Richet starring: Roy Dupuis, Vincent Cassel, Gilles Lellouche, Florence Thomassin, Elena Anaya, Gerard Depardieu, Michael Duchaussoy, Cecile De France, Myriam Boyer Verdict: Don’t know much about this one other than it has generally been well received.
