  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.

  One of the year's most original films - a charming tale of two actors set during the silent movie era.

  It's 1927, and suave, moustachioed matinee idol George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. He's dashing, he's just a little arrogant, and his romantic swashbucklers have women swooning. But silent movies are about to be washed away by new-fangled talkies. When studio boss Zimmer (John Goodman) offers him a chance to steal a march on his rivals in this exciting new format, Valentin rejects it out of hand in favour of his own epic silent project. Alas, this proves to be a flop. But as Valentin's life falls apart and his star wanes, the young actress whose career he nurtured, Peppy Miller (Berenice Bejo), finds hers in the ascendant. A heartfelt love letter to Hollywood's silent era, writer/director Michel Hazanavicius's lovely film is even filmed in black and white without dialogue!

  Wimpy Greg suffers at the hands of his brother in a sequel to last year's hit comedy.

  When we last met tweenie Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon), he was enduring the miseries of adolescence at his new school. Now he faces an even bigger challenge: being nice to nasty big brother Rodrick (Devon Bostick). Mum Susan (Rachael Harris) has decided to deal with their constant arguments by offering them cash to get along. To help them bond, she and dad Frank (Steve Zahn) go away for the weekend, leaving Rodrick in charge. Naturally, he throws a huge house party and locks Greg in the basement. Adapted from the second of Jeff Kinney's bestselling novels, the sequel builds on all the elements that made the first film such a huge success. A lovably flawed anti-hero, a cruel sense of fun, and an insightful if light-hearted approach to the traumas of growing up make this a must-see for anyone who's ever been a kid.
