2012

JOHN CUSACK,AMANDA PEET,DANNY GLOVER

15 Roland Emmerich directs this disaster movie, and when you consider he was the man behind The Day After Tomorrow and Independence Day, then you'll know what to expect.

There are loads of apocalyptic scenes of America being torn apart by nature's wrath.

Based around the notion that the world will end come the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar's current cycle (on or around 2012), this is more of the same.

After reports of mass suicides, a secret US agency puts plans in place to save what it can of humanity by building arks.

And when the earth's crust starts buckling, the race is on for survivors to reach the ark and save mankind from oblivion. With Woody Harrelson.

MICHAEL JACKSON - THIS IS IT MICHAEL JACKSON

PG Raw, moving and powerful - that's the footage of the King of Pop as he prepared for his ill-fated comeback tour.

Kenny Ortega directs the footage, which will give the King of Pop's fans a glimpse of Jackson like they've never seen him before.

THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS GEORGE CLOONEY

15 A hapless reporter (Ewan McGregor) falls in with a Special Forces Agent (Clooney), who leads the hack into a secret operations unit, tasked with ending war by utilising powers of the supernatural.

The main message is that love can conquer all.

FANTASTIC MR FOX GEORGE CLOONEY

12a We're all Roald Dahl fans - and this new adaptation is a belter. Brought to life through stop-motion animation, the gorgeous-looking film will be a hit with kids of all ages - and that includes adult ones. Clooney plays the wily Mr Fox fighting to save his family.

WE LIVE IN PUBLIC JOSH HARRIS

15 Through experiments, including a six-month stint living with his girlfriend under 24-hour electronic surveillance, Harris demonstrated the price we pay for living in public. Twitter, Myspace, Facebook - no social networking site escapes scrutiny. Scary and important.

BRIGHT STAR ABBIE CORNISH,BEN WHISHAW

PG Whishaw stars as the poet John Keats, who died aged 25, but not before having a passionate affair with girl next door Fanny Brawne. Her disdain for Keats and his poetry yields when she sees him care for his sick brother. Well-told love story.

AMELIA HILARY SWANK, RICHARD GERE

PG Swank and Gere team up with Shallow Grave flatmates Ewan McGregor and Christopher Eccleston. Swank plays Amelia Earhart, the first aviatrix to fly across the Atlantic. Great cast and story, limp reviews.
