It's Kind of a Funny Story (2010)

released in cinemas: Oct 8 (US)  Jan 2011 (UK)

A clinically depressed teenager gets a new start after he checks himself into an adult psychiatric ward.Based on the book of the same title in which Ned Vizzini tells of his experience checking himself into an adult psychiatric ward at the suggestion of a suicide hotline. This is a genuine funny feel good movie.

The Road

Released: To Watch Online from January 1 2011

Striding across a bleached, post-apocalyptic landscape, Viggo Mortensen jealously guards a rather important person – his son – from all manner of evils. It’s hard to tear your eyes away from John Hillcoat’s (The Proposition) tense, harrowing adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy novel, and it’s hard to shake ‘what-would-I-have-done?’ thoughts from your head afterwards.

The Next Three Days

Released: In cinemas from January 5 2011

When Elizabeth Banks has a blazing row with her boss, and he winds up rather dead not long afterwards, all the evidence leaves Banks in prison and husband Russell Crowe desperately trying to prove her innocence. And when that falls short, in this Paul Haggis (Crash) directed crime thriller, Crowe does what we’d all do in the same circumstances, and begins plotting a jailbreak.

127 Hours

Released: In cinemas January 7 2011

Even after all the Slumdog heroics, this eye-watering true story may well be Danny Boyle’s best film yet. James Franco gets the goblin off his back with an outdoorsy, actorly turn as real-life mountain-climber Aron Ralston, who bounds off on a canyoneering jaunt in Utah, and gets pinned by a boulder. Out of sight. Miles from anywhere. Having told no-one where he was going.

The King’s Speech

Released: In cinemas January 7 2011

A touching, impeccably made drama; Colin Firth does the stutter rap as George VI, elevated to the throne of England when big bro Edward VIII clears off with Mrs Simpson in 1936. Public speaking makes him very nervous, and stumble on every word he utters. So George’s wife, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter), hires speech therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) to work some unorthodox magic. Clear some space on the mantelpiece, Colin. Overall this is a finely crafted period movie.

The Green Hornet

Released: in cinemas from 14 January 2011 (UK)

Following the death of his father, Britt Reid, heir to his father's large company, teams up with his late dad's assistant Kato to become a masked crime fighting team.

Morning Glory

Released: In cinemas January 21 2011

Sounding a bit like Anchorman played in the modern-day and mostly straight, veteran journo Harrison Ford finds himself plonked opposite sunny, breakfast TV co-host Diane Keaton, and he more than resents being there. Ambitious producer Rachel McAdams has her work cut out to stop the sliding ratings and get the gruff, legendary reporter to play ball. Jeff Goldblum and Patrick Wilson also star.

The Rite

Released:in cinemas January 28, 2011(US) 25 feb (UK)

'The Rite' is directed by Mikael Hafstrom (1408) and also stars Alice Braga, Rutger Hauser (as Michael's father) and Toby Jones. An American priest travels to Italy to study at an exorcism school.The best thing about this film is Sir Anthony Hopkins...giving a performance that is both subtle and terrifying...reminiscent of his portrayal of the infamous Dr. Lechter (Silence of the Lambs).

Please Give

Released: On DVD January 31 2011

Friends With Money director Nicole Holofcener’s fourth collaboration with Catherine Keener stars the latter as a well-off New Yorker torn between making a tidy profit in her furniture business and doing more to help the homeless. There’s also the grouchy old lady next door (and her chalk-and-cheese grand-daughters) to contend with, in this intelligent and thought-provoking comedy-drama.
