Director: Joe Cornish

Main Cast: Jodie Whittaker, Luke Treadaway, Nick Frost

For all the talk of attack, Joe Cornish plays pretty safe surrounded by the familiar faces of his favourite films. Attack the Block is very funny and authentically British, but fails to scare or succeed at a sci-fi level. A fan-boy’s damp dream that’s undoubtedly watchable, at its most optimistic the film will prove a solid stomping ground for greater things to come, for Joe Cornish and British cinema in general.

Released in Cinemas: 13th May 2011

Main Cast: Martin Landau, Ellen Burstyn, Elizabeth Banks, Adam Scott

Lovely, Still is a small affair with some great actors. It’s unusual in that the main characters of this love story are a couple who have had free bus passes for quite some time. But the way their love develops with all its little hiccups and misunderstandings and excitement could be played at any age. Martin Landau is outstanding showing his years of experience in front of the camera and Ellen Burstyn is radiant in every scene.

Balibo is much more of a docudrama than a thriller; it won't have you at the edge of your seat through excitement but through emotional attachment and the style of filming is particularly reminiscent of classics like The Killing Fields and The Motorcycle Diaries. It's an emotionally charged, inspiring film, and despite working on a low budget, what it lacks in production it makes up for in heart and integrity.
