Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol review
Simon Brew
If the occasionally breathtaking photography of Ghost Protocol gives you spectacle, it’s the willingness to cut the sound to the bare minimum that injects plenty of tension
Mission: Impossible 4 recruits director Brad Bird, and heads to the sky as it attempts to inject fresh life into action cinema. Simon finds out if it's Mission: Successful...

The Muppets review
Ron Hogan
Don’t mistake the joy for simple nostalgia. Segel, Stoller, and Bobin have taken the traditional Muppet formula and have reinvigorated it. The Muppets feel fresh again

Hugo review
Ryan Lambie
James Cameron reportedly said that Hugo’s 3D is the best he’s ever seen, and he may be right – this is 3D used to heighten our sense of wonder rather than paper over storytelling cracks.

Duncan Bowles
The gods are seen lounging about with what look like Christmas tree decorations around their heads, as if they were awaiting a poor man’s Jean Paul Gaultier photo shoot
