Action | Adventure | Sci-Fi - runtime: 127mins/ 2h 7m
What I say: From the moment I heard about this, is filled me with doubt. the fact that the trailer played at some event recently and no one was impressed. It looks like a mess. That being said, if you want some fun and you fancy one of its stars then it will probably be for you.

Cake (15)
A woman struggling with her own tradgedy becomes fixated with a woman in her own support group.
Dir: Daniel Barnz
Starring: Jennifer Anniston, Adriana Barraza, Anna Kendrick
Drama - runtime 102mins/ 1h 42m
What I say: Rumour is that Anniston has managed to finally off her Rachel role. Not strictly true as she has done some other good stuff. I am only hearing great stuff about this film though.

Dir: Peter Spierig, Michael Spierig
Starring: Ethan Hawke, Sarah Snook, Noah Taylor
Sci-Fi | Thriller - runtime 97mins/ 1h 37m
What I say: Another one of my films of 2014 having seen it. If you do watch a trailer for it, only watch one and watch it once, as I had the story and therefore the plot spoilt. Still, the mind that came up with the idea needs a firm pat on the back.
Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter (12A)
After discovering a copy of Fargo, a Japanese woman believes it to be a map to hidden treasure.
Dir: David Zellner
Starring: Rinko Kikuchi, Nobuyuki Katsube, Shirley Venard

What I say: Another film that I know nothing about. I have read of a similar event to this story, so it may be loosely based on that.

Dir: Kornel Mundruzco
Starring: Zsofia Psotta, Sandor Zsoter, Lili Horvath
Drama - runtime 121min/ 2h 01m
What I say: The sequel to the sleeper hit of Monsters (directed by Welshman Gareth Edwards) is gaining a lot of reputation in the industry. We shall wait to see if it can replicate the success of its predecessor.

A poetic journey of self-discovery and heartbreak in contemporary Britain, a very original and visually stunning road-trip film.
Dir: Harry Macqueen

What I say: With SpongeBob now an internet icon, I am sure that there will not be just young children eager to see this. The makers have capitalised on his fame and even I will say that it did look funny.
