The Help

Set in 1960's Mississippi, aspiring writer Skeeter (Emma Stone - Zombieland) begins to write a story that may shake the lives of her dear friends and even an entire town. She starts to interview the black women who look after Mississippis southern families, known as 'The Help'. With an extremely strong streak of racism and discrimination, more and more 'Help' women come forward to have their say. This rocks the town as tradition is thrown out the window, and times of change start to move in.
This inspiring and feel-good film tells the story of many courageous women, as they create unlikely friendships to stand up for 'The Help'. Emma Stone looks to play a powerful role which seems to suit her, and with a strong cast behind her, this could be the best film of the year.

The Dark Knight Rises

The third installment of the Batman series arrives! The very first, Batman Begins, brought us to the beginning of Bruce Wayne's journey, which included fantastic effects and an ending which left us pleading to see the next one.
The Dark Knight then blew us all away with Heath Ledgers mind-blowing Joker and pretty impressive stunts as Bruce Wayne fought off harsh villains as well himself. Now, we are introduced to a new Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) and one of Batmans most powerful foes; Bane.

The trailer alone, although it doesn't contain much, will guarantee to leave you glued to the screen and begging to see it.

Hanna

This action flick looks entriguing with a complex storyline.

16-year-old Hanna (Saoirse Ronan) is raised by her father, who has trained her to be the perfect assassin. When grief strikes, she travels across Europe to terminate her first victim, the ruthless agent Marissa (Cate Blanchett).

At times in the trailer it does look a little far-fetched, and to be honest the story-line is, but the action and the simple fact that Cate Blanchett looks rather amazing, you just can't resist.

An impressive and great looking film that should definitley be on the watch list.

NEDs

Peter Mullan, director of the fantastic Magdalene Sisters, presents NED’s (Non-Educated Delinquents). The story begins in 1970’s Glasgow, with a young boy starting high school where he hopes to continue with his glittering and bright academic future. However, with things bad at home and with the popular gang culture that surrounds him, will he prove to himself and his family that he can make something of himself? Or will he too be roped and trapped into the hard and criminal life of gangs?

Fantastic looking, action riddled, historic and with emotion running high, NED’s seems to have all of the elements for a great, unforgettable film. Sure to be another fantastic film by Mullen.

Based on the book written by Kazuo Ishiguro, this moving drama looks promising, dramatic and a good tearful watch.

Brighton Rock

A young aspiring gang member Pinkie (Sam Riley) gets into a spot of bother. He brutally kills a man and his worst nightmare is realised as theres a witness in the form of a young woman named Rose (Andrea Riseborough). Doing everything that he can in order to keep his crime under the rug, he resorts to desperate measures in order to silence her. However, love blossoms between the two, much to the dismay of Roses boss, the worried Ida (Dame Helen Mirren). Ida realises whats going on and watches as more bodies pile up. Will Rose realise and confess? Or will she too delve into the frightening world of gangs and murder?

This 1940's film looks much better on trailer than on film. This remake of the 1947 oldie was promising, however it sadly is slightly disapointing and even slow in certain parts.
