Burlesque Undressed

Alison Grist’s documentary about mild striptease is a history of the theatrical art of burlesque

Invictus

Morgan Freeman’s Mandela and Matt Damon's Pienaar demonstrate idealism and morals that are capable of moving one to tears

Astro Boy

It’s not clever, cute or terribly original and offers little in the way of CGI innovation — but it’s damn entertaining

Youth in Revolt

A rare cinematic creature: it is a charming and witty coming-of-age teenage tale of love, lust and all things French

Holy Water

A comedy about Viagra can’t afford to be weak, floppy and lacking in comic potency, but that’s the fate of this effort

Malice in Wonderland

Ultimately, the film is too laddish for art-house tastes, but too arty to be much good as a cockney gangster caper

The Island

If Andrei Tarkovsky had decided to make a comedy about a bizarre monk on a desolate island, it might have been like this

Tony

If the formula hadn’t been used already, Gerard Johnson’s film could have been called Tony: Portrait of a Serial Killer

Malice in Wonderland

Occasionally surreal, but mostly random and episodic, the movie isn’t half as charming as it thinks it is

Invictus

Invictus works because it concentrates the story into the year that Mandela became South Africa’s first black president

Astro Boy

The script gestures towards political satire, but the director David Bowers’s ambition exceeds his grasp

The Island

This wintery Russian parable about a modern-day saint is an engrossing, atmospheric art-house offering

Oil City Confidential

Oil City Confidential looks like a series of Martin Parr seaside photographs, with occasional incongruous Turner sunsets

Holy Water

An egregious movie curio for those wishing to witness just how low Linda Hamilton’s career has plummeted

Youth in Revolt

A deliciously uncomfortable study of adolescent pretension and reluctant virginity. Sharp, sly and witty

Oil City Confidential

A rockumentary that centres on the R&B band Dr Feelgood is not Julien Temple's best work, but offers some great lines

Tony

Fans of gratuitous violence will be thrilled with this extended short film. Those looking for anything else, not so much

Malice in Wonderland

An unimaginative depiction of London’s underworld stars Danny Dyer as a cab-driver version of Carroll’s white rabbit

The Island

Your eyes will be smarting from this brilliant depiction of snowy plains and the White Sea

Invictus

At long last, Mandela is a Freeman as ‘Madiba’ wins the 1995 rugby World Cup and is Oscar nominated in the process
