THE WAY BACK (12A)
Starring: Per Christian Ellefsen, Tommi Korpela
Dir: Peter Weir United States 2010 132m
The sheer fun of classic kids' adventure movies is perfectly captured and slightly lampooned in the deliciously winning Rare Exports. Jalmari Helander expands on his hit shorts to create a prequel in which a boy realizes an excavation near his Arctic hometown has released the original, evil Santa Claus from his frozen prison. Conceived with winking humour and a terrific visual style, the film is a rare treat that could accrue cult status. Variety

127 Hours is the true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston’s remarkable adventure to save himself after a fallen boulder crashes on his arm and traps him in an isolated canyon in Utah. Over the next five days Ralston examines his life and survives the elements to finally discover he has the courage and the wherewithal to extricate himself by any means necessary. Full of visual invention that exhibits a kinetic sense of cinema, complemented by a superb score from Slumdog collaborator A.R. Rahman, Boyle has followed up one great success with another.
Every so often, a film appears that is not only outstanding, but also likely to appeal to a wide audience. This is one of those films. It tells the story of Bertie, Duke of York, the future George VI and father of our current Queen, and his inability to speak in public, because of his stammer. He was lucky enough to meet Lionel Logue, an Australian speech therapist who was unwilling to be deferential, but whose methods were more effective than anything that had been tried before. This is a film to make you laugh, cry and feel uplifted. Don’t miss it.
One of the stand-out films in this year's Sundance and Cannes Film Festivals, Blue Valentine is an intelligent, heartbreaking story of a couple nearing the end of their marriage. Dean and Cindy are parents of a beloved young daughter, but their relationship seems set in a downward spiral. In flashback we see the pleasure and promise of their early relationship, and the film pulls us between past and present, giving us a subtly drawn, non-judgemental portrait of the ebb and flow of love.
Starring: Michael Lonsdale, Lambert Wilson
Mila Kunis
Starring: Javier Bardem, Hanaa Bouchaib,
The harrowing true story of a brotherhood of French monks in the highlands of North Africa who find themselves threatened by Islamic extremists during the Algerian Civil War of the 1990s. When insurgents arrive, they find themselves faced with an impossible decision: to flee, or to stand their ground and fulfil their spiritual mission. A poetic, austerely beautiful triumph.
A psychological thriller set in the world of New York City ballet, Black Swan stars Natalie Portman as Nina, a featured dancer who finds herself locked in a web of competitive intrigue with a new rival at the company. Black Swan takes a thrilling and at times terrifying journey through the psyche of a young ballerina whose starring role as the duplicitous swan queen turns out to be a part for which she becomes frighteningly perfect. With stunning visuals and masterful performances, Black Swan combines a rare mix of beauty and grotesquerie to shape a remarkable narrative. Potent and dazzling, Aronofsky’s latest feature is a testament to his visionary talent.
Starring: Ben Barnes, Skandar Keynes

Back by popular demand! Set in 9th century Ireland, the film opens in the fortified Kells Abbey, whose outer walls provide the last line of defence against the Vikings, while also acting as a frustrating limit to the playground of our hero, twelve-year-old Brendan. His uncle, Abbott Cellach, rules the abbey with an iron rod but despite this, young Brendan finds fun and friendship with the motley crew of illuminators who work on the abbey’s greatest treasure, The Book of Kells.
