Helen Mirren and Jessica Chastain star in The Debt, an intriguing thriller of two halves. Its whenThe Debtflashes forward to the 90s that the narrative stumbles. Here, were left with a protracted and faintly ridiculous coda, with Helen Mirren playing the 50-something Rachel. Instead, what we have is a mildly diverting thriller sandwich. Rating: 3 out of 5

Ryan Goslings come a long way since the Mickey Mouse Club. Gosling, like McAdams, is far more convincing than the film deserves. For his efforts, the actor was nominated for his first Best Actor Academy Award. Blue Valentine,despite receiving widespread acclaim, missed out on the Oscar race. One wonders, however, if awards even register for Gosling. When laid alongside similarly talented actors in his age bracket, it becomes even more startling....
Here’s Ryan’s review… Summers over. The days are beginning to shorten, and the leaves are already starting to shrivel on the trees. Colin Firths suave bicycle rider, Bill Haydon? Ciaran Hinds shark-eyed Roy Bland? Toby Jones stern Percy Alleline? David Denciks jittery Toby Esterhase? Or someone else entirely? Posters warn intelligence workers that Telephone talk is not secure; graffitti reminds us that The future is female. And then theres that star-laden cast mentioned earlier....

There’s a reason we’ve never gone back to the moon, the tagline goes. But is there a reason to go to the cinema and watch Apollo 18? Constructed from hours of leaked footage,Apollo 18is the story of mans REAL last trip to the moon. Was it space madness? A horrible shaving accident? Or something… more alien in nature? How they got this footage is not explained, and I guess it really doesnt matter....

One of the finest gangster movies of the past 30-odd years gets a 21st century reissue. The fact is that everyone who has seenScarfacealready has an opinion of it which is unlikely to change. Yet despite this, it cannot be said that the films messages are delivered with nuance and subtlety. De Palmas direction is equally schizophrenic. Stones script also lacks the self-aggrandising controversy and stylistic excesses he can sometimes be synonymous with....
Just in time for the fifth films cinema release, Final Destination 3 makes its debut on Blu-ray. The filmmakers here seem to have decided to forgo such things, and deliver ridiculous deaths instead.

As expected its full HD 1080p for the picture and Dolby Digital True HD 5....

Kill List is a really interesting cross-genre film. What was the starting point for the film? Did you set out to make a horror movie? Ben Wheatley:Theres a lot of different starting points, I think. Theres one which is that we definitely were going to make a horror film after making a crime film. We didnt want to make another crime film. But I never think of them as criminals, theyre more like blue-collar soldiers....
