    Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem
    Yes, it's effectively a feature-length vid and, occasionally, the synergy of beats and visuals slip as the manga-shaped action doesn't quite match the tunes. But it largely works, the spectacular space-disco-opera sensibilities ensuring that Interstella shimmers with verve throughout.
  2. Annabelle Comes Home
    Creakily slick like the rest of The Conjuring series, this spring-loaded spook story hits the mark more often than not.
  3. Broken
    Believably charts a girl’s coming of age but is eventually capsized by lurid melodrama.

    She's the One
    She's The One is carefully observed, well-made, enjoyable, thought-provoking and even funny. And: cracking crumpet, Gromit.
  5. The Amazing Spider-Man 2
    Bright, punchy and earnest, Webb’s affable sequel is tough to dislike despite its tonal whiplash and clumsy script, which is redeemed by Garfield, Stone and DeHaan’s powerhouse trio.
  6. The Journey
    Irish politics made accessible with the help of a playful script, two fine performances and 11 years of hindsight.
  7. Renfield
    While it hardly stays with you like The Invisible Man, Renfield is a fun Friday night at the movies.
  8. Free State of Jones
    After a visceral opening battle, endless speeches dull good intentions, and the characters lack depth.
  9. The Killer Inside Me
    Taking a cold, cruel plunge into its sociopath’s world, Winterbottom’s latest genre swerve is an accomplished neo-noir.
  10. Finding Your Feet
    Its love-in-later-life insights are well-worn, but with Staunton on song, Richard Loncraine’s film mines genuine feeling.
  11. The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears
    The result is a love letter to the giallo genre spelled out in cut-up ransom-note writing – striking, but impossible to read.

    Muppets from Space
    A fair amount of decent laughs can't disguise a micro-thin plot which won't keep the kids from fidgeting. But it packs in just enough sci-fi/film references to keep fans amused. Possibly worth a look if you're a groupie.
  13. The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It
    Better than The Conjuring 2 and most of the Annabelles, this latest entry gives some zip to a stumbling franchise.
  14. Café de Flore
    Beneath the surface panache lies an overlong, emotionally shallow study of so-called 'twin flames', possible reincarnation and learning to let go of love.
  15. Hypnotic
    Rodriguez doesn’t take his foot off the gas for the entire 94-minute run time. There’s an action sequence about every four minutes and a plot twist every 10. In a world where so many films feel bloated and overextended, the frantic pace is highly refreshing.
  16. Pokémon Detective Pikachu
    Reynolds and Pikachu make an inspired combo in a CGI/live-action mash-up that otherwise adheres to a rigidly boilerplate formula.
  17. Big Game
    Drags in places and not always certain of its tone but with a sprinkling of eye-bulging visuals that wink to Spielberg’s heyday. Give it a shot.
  18. Viceroy's House
    Fascinating story, flawed telling.
  19. Malcolm & Marie
    Malcolm & Marie is a film of the moment, powered by Covid, BLM and #MeToo – but good enough to stand the test of time.

    The Awakening
    Creepy, jumpy, if somewhat samey, it's set above the spooker norm by its strong visuals, grief-steeped period setting and lingering ambiguity.
  21. Luther: The Fallen Sun
    A propulsive thriller that’ll appeal to die-hard fans and newbies alike.
  22. Red Sparrow
    A solid espionage thriller that’s lifted by its charismatic leads, Red Sparrow commits to the brutality of its subject matter, meaning it’s never easy viewing.
  23. Carrie
    One of the more solid ’70s horror remakes, but it lacks the verve and potency, romance and heartache of the original. Still, the haircuts are a vast improvement...
  24. Fly Me to the Moon
    Despite leaving its love affair on the launch pad, this sassy NASA romcom fulfils its mission to entertain.

    Kaleidoscope
    Face crumpled, eyes darting, Jones captures the wounded humanity at the core of this psychological thriller. He feels the walls of his flat closing in; we feel the influence of Polanski and Hitchcock.

    Tomorrow Never Dies
    All in all, Bond 18 is an impressive, entertainingly uproarious spy thriller, with a pinch of Goldfinger charm, an oasis of impossible stunts, gorgeous women and throw-away one-liners. Great stuff.
  27. White House Down
    Longer than OHF and just as daft, WHD makes for a more entertaining watch before succumbing to the same bombastic overkill.
  28. Stonehearst Asylum
    This is not, we’d wager, the film its director intended. Yet it’s worth watching, if only to see Caine and Kingsley together for the first time in 25 years.
  29. Love Me
    Writer/director duo Sam and Andy Zuchero take an admirably big swing with their feature debut Love Me, but it never engages emotionally in the way this kind of material needs to.
  30. Blackhat
    It’s no "Heat" but the niggles are easily forgiven given the virtuosity on show and the mood oozing from every frame. No one shoots faces, architecture and gunfights like Mann.
