The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor (12a)

IT starts in a Shanghai nightclub filled with dancing girls, there’s a fight over a jewel and then the action moves to the Himalayas. Read

Man on Wire (12a)

It's an odd time to make this film now, 34 years after the event and seven years after the World Trade Center was destroyed. Read

Cass (18)

THIS testosterone-fuelled film, full of bad language, is based on the true story of Cass Pennant (Nonso Anozie), a 1980s football hooligan who was sentenced to four years in prison. Read

The Love Guru (12a)

THE Love Guru is Mike Myers’ first new character since Austin Powers, but you won’t be saying “yeah, baby”. More like “please, no more”. Read

The X Files: I Want To Believe (15)

I WANT to believe, I really do. I was a fan of the TV series and even hung on to the bitter end, when it had gone way past its best. And I liked the first film a decade ago. Read

A Complete History Of My Sexual Failure (18)

If nothing else, it will make you feel better about your own life. Read

Baby Mama (12A)

HIGH-flying businesswoman Kate Holbrook (Tina Fey) has a new promotion and a great Philadelphia apartment, but all she wants is a baby. Read

Angus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging (12A)

BASED on Louise Rennison’s bestselling books and directed by Gurinder “Bend It Like Beckham” Chadha, this has all the ingredients for a great British teen comedy. Yet despite funny and charming moments, it doesn’t quite work. Read

The Dark Knight (12a)

IT’S one of the year’s most anticipated films. It’s broken box office records in America with the biggest-ever opening weekend. Read

Donkey Punch (18)

It gets laughable by the end, but this is an original and pretty entertaining take on the young holidaymakers in peril movie. Read

Meet Dave (PG)

OK, I admit it. I laughed, several times, at an Eddie Murphy film. Read

WALL-E (U)

Its charming, amusing and enjoyable, but not as amazing as Toy Story or The Incredibles. I'd say it was more of a Ratatouille or Monsters Inc, which is certainly no bad thing. Read

The Forbidden Kingdom (12a)

AMERICAN teenager Jason (Michael Angarano) is a huge fan of kung fu films. He loves hanging out at the pawn shop in Chinatown, where he finds an ancient staff. Read

Journey To The Centre Of The Earth 3D (PG)

PROFESSOR Trevor Anderson (Brendan Fraser) is a college teacher, unsuccessfully trying to keep alive his late brother’s theories about seismic activity. Read

Mamma Mia! (PG)

MORE than 30 million people can’t be wrong. Read

The Mist (15)

FRANK Darabont and Stephen King last teamed up to create the prison classics The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, so we have high hopes for their latest collaboration. Read

Kung Fu Panda (PG)

It’s not quite good enough to call it a Chinese cracker. Still, despite not being as brilliant as animated movies like Toy Story or Finding Nemo, it’s amusing enough to keep the family entertained. Read

Female Agents (15)

SET in France in 1944, a British army geologist with vital knowledge of the location of the forthcoming D-Day landings lies injured in hospital, pretending to be a German soldier. Read

Wanted (18)

It would have been even better, and achieved a wider audience, if they’d toned down the relentless violence and settled for a 15 certificate, but that’s about my only complaint. Read

The Edge Of Love (15)

WELSH poet Dylan Thomas (Matthew Rhys) seems to have been a selfish, unpleasant man, yet somehow he had two gorgeous, clever women falling for him. This film still doesn’t explain how – surely writing the odd love poem wouldn’t be enough? Read
