Three teenagers acquire incredible superpowers, but soon learn the downside of their amazing gift.
What would you do if you suddenly found you'd been blessed with mind-boggling telekinetic abilities? For teenage schoolfriends Andrew (Dane Dehaan), Matt (Alex Russell) and Steve (Michael B. Jordan), the answer is obvious: - have a lot of fun! Naturally, they decide to chronicle their prankstering using a camcorder, howling with laughter as they scare a child by bringing a teddy bear to life and take control of a leaf-blower to lift girls' skirts. As the trio's powers continue to grow, they find that they can even move cars using their minds alone. But this also unleashes the dark side in Andrew, and it's not long before events start to spiral out of control. Written by 'An American Werewolf in London' director John Landis's talented son Max, this mind-blowing cautionary tale is told in edgy, 'Cloverfield'-style found footage format.

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.

Leonardo DiCaprio stars in the incredible story of the most powerful man in 20th century America.
As founding director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover held onto the job for 47 tumultuous years. Admired, reviled and feared in equal measure, he served eight presidents and became virtually untouchable. Hoover placed great value on uncovering the secrets of friends and foes alike, but his own personal life was shrouded in gossip and speculation. Written by Dustin Lance Black, this is the first collaboration between veteran director Clint Eastwood and superstar Leonardo DiCaprio. Spanning seven decades, it covers key events of 20th-century American history as it explores Hoover's crucial relationships with the three people who were closest to him. After his stunning performance as Howard Hughes in 'The Aviator', DiCaprio is perfectly cast as Hoover. Armie Hammer plays Hoover's lifelong companion Clyde Tolson, with Naomi Watts as loyal secretary Helen Gandy and Judi Dench as doting mother Annie.

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.
