You'd be forgiven for thinking that Miracle in Cell No. 7 was another tired take on The Green Mile. After all, both films feature mentally challenged individuals, near miraculous circumstances and flawed judicial procedures. While Miracle in Cell No. 7 doesn't exactly reinvent the wheel, it does stand as a solid, emotive drama in its own right.

It's not necessarily the most evenly executed horror movie we've seen, but we'll say one thing about Mama: the film is aptly named. In its creepiest moments, the movie will have you screaming for your mama, crying uncle and calling on deceased ancestors to save you.

At the risk of sounding like an unwashed philistine, I've gotta admit: I've never dug ballet as an art form. I mean, Black Swan was cool, but so was Happy Feet. Tchaikovsky? C'est okay, but the dude ain't John Lennon. And while it's easy to admire the beauty of a ballerina's form, the initial thought that ran through my mind when the male dancers of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake first pranced onscreen was as follows: goddamn, those pants have gotta chafe.

'Mad Max' fans will get to see Furiosa and Nux reunite under very unlikely circumstances.

  It's easy to assume the worst of And So It Goes. It looks like every other generic “comedy” that's been hastily slapped together to appeal to a more mature audience – the kind of film in which, these days, respected veterans of the silver screen appear in order to...

There have been many versions of the classic fairytale of Beauty And The Beast – from operas and television shows to science-fiction re-tellings. The best-known incarnation of the story, of course, bears the Disney brand and features singing teapots and dancing candlesticks. It sounds ridiculous, sure, but anyone who's watched that film will know that it packs a genuine emotional punch.

While 'Marauders' wants to be more than your average direct-to-DVD crime movie, it’s woefully lacking in thrills and its mystery is too muddled to be engaging.

If you roll your eyes when you hear the term 'YA paranormal romance', this is the very thing you’re thinking of.

It’s the Year of the Horse, but Sun Wukong will have none of it, barging into theatres two years before the Year of the Monkey. The classical 16th Century novel Journey to the West by Wu Cheng’en has inspired countless works across various forms of media, its opening chapters...

The Low-Down: Based on the true event where Sichuan Airlines pilot Li Zhangjian and flight crew managed to save 119 passengers onboard 3U8633 by an emergency landing in Chongqing, The Captain is packed with intense sequences that will keep you gasping and holding your breath. Hong Kong veteran director Andrew Lau...

Nothing but mechanical aliens, guns and lasers, “Revolt” is shot very much like a video game with impressive visual effects but mediocre plot and characterisations.

"Coco" pops off the screen in a blast of colour, humour and heart. Bring tissues.
