A fugitive's suicide attempt is a cunning distraction in this edgy crime thriller.
When a nervous man steps onto a ledge twenty storeys above the streets of New York City, passers by stop to stare. The police are quickly on the scene and identify him as fugitive ex-cop Nick Cassidy (Sam Worthington), who was convicted of stealing a $40m diamond from David Englander (Ed Harris). Negotiator Lydia Anderson (Elizabeth Banks) is sent in to talk him down. But as crowds gather and the media start to report live from the scene, Cassidy reveals that this is all a ruse to distract attention. He claims to be innocent of the crime and that the diamond never left Englander's heavily fortified vault. And to prove it, a crack team led his brother Joey (Jamie Bell) are breaking in to steal it.
Versatile stars Sam Worthington and Jamie Bell cement their action-man credentials in this clever heist movie with a twist.

Prosperous Hawaiian estate agent Matt King (George Clooney) has never been the world's most attentive father. But when his wife Elizabeth is left in a coma following a tragic speedboat accident, Matt is forced to re-evaluate his life and his relationship with his two daughters. Alexandra (Shailene Woodley) is a wayward 17-year-old with a stoner boyfriend, Sid (Nick Krause). Her little sister Scottie (Amara Miller) is a precocious 10-year-old.

So with daughters in tow, Matt embarks on an eventful mission to track down his wife's lover. Adapted from the highly regarded novel by Kaui Hart Hemmings, this is director Alexander Payne's eagerly anticipated first film as director since the Oscar-winning 'Sideways' in 2004.

"It's time to play the music" as the Muppets return with a hilarious adventure to delight fans old and new!
Twelve years after their last big-screen adventure, the Muppets have gone their separate ways. Kermit lives in a mansion with his '80s robot. Fozzie ekes out a living as leader of feeble counterfeit troupe The Moopets. And Miss Piggy is Plus-Size Editor for Vogue in Paris. But not everybody has forgotten The Muppets. Super-fan Walter is overjoyed to visit the Muppet theatre in LA with his brother Gary (Jason Segel) and Gary's girlfriend Mary (Amy Adams). But when they find that evil oil tycoon Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) is planning to demolish the run-down old place, the race is on to save it by re-uniting the gang for a telethon. British director James Bobin, of 'Flight of the Conchords' fame, breathes new life into Jim Henson's creation with this hugely enjoyable and playful romp.

Delightful animation about a monster's love for a nightclub singer in 1910 Paris.
Ever since he was a child, Raoul (Adam Goldberg) has been in love with the beautiful Lucille (Vanessa Paradis), star of a stylish Montmartre cabaret. But one day, while delivering supplies to an eccentric scientist and his monkey assistant, Raoul manages to cause a laboratory accident that unleashes a monster. Photographed by his pal Emile (Jay Harrington), this turns out to be a giant flea! Although he's a fearsome looking beast, the monster has a beautiful singing voice (supplied by Sean Lennon). When Lucille hears this, she takes him in and disguises the now smitten flea, whom she names Francoeur. But nasty city official Prefet Maynott (Danny Huston) is determined to hunt down the monster. 'Shark Tale' director Bibo Bergeron returned to his native France to make this exquisite animated fable, which is already a huge box office hit across the Channel.

Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan star in an acclaimed drama of addiction and desire.
Smooth, handsome thirty-something Brandon (Michael Fassbender) leads a bland corporate existence in Manhattan. But beneath his outwardly confident and businesslike exterior lies a jaded sex addict with an insatiable appetite for women and pornography. When his self-harming younger sister Sissy (Carey Mulligan) arrives at his apartment unannounced, Brandon's carefully managed facade begins to spiral out of control. A stylish, uncompromising portrait of need and mutual dependency, 'Shame' is 'Hunger' director Steve McQueen's second collaboration with Michael Fassbender, who confirms his promise as one of the decade's most versatile actors. Harry Escott's powerful soundtrack music is intertwined with music from various NYC luminaries, including Blondie, Tom Tom Club, John Coltrane and Chic. And rising star Carey Mulligan gets a memorable scene in which her character Sissy croons the jazz standard 'New York New York' to Brandon in a nightclub.

Meryl Streep stars in this revealing portrait of legendary British prime minister Margaret Thatcher.
As a politician, she divided the nation, but in 1979 grocer's daughter Margaret Thatcher burst through barriers of class and gender to become the UK's first female prime minister. She was aided by loyal strategist Gordon Reece, who shaped Thatcher's image and guided her campaign - even advising her to lower her voice to sound more like a leader. 'The Iron Lady' is a surprising and remarkably personal account of Thatcher's rise to power, with an extraordinary central performance by Meryl Streep. Directed by Phyllida Lloyd (who previously directed Streep in the phenomenally popular musicl comedy 'Mamma Mia!'), the film revisits many of the key episodes in the former PM's career. Its outstanding cast includes Roger Allam as Reece, Jim Broadbent as Maggie's husband Denis, Anthony Head as Geoffrey Howe and Richard E. Grant as Michael Heseltine.
