Visually War Horse looks spectacular and this is a film that you have to see on the big screen, a TV screen just won’t do it justice. Dramatic and easy to understand War Horse once again shows that Spielberg really has perfected the formula of making these kind of films.

The Iron Lady is a brave and unique look at a historical figure that will be foreign to the younger generation. With a ground-breaking script from Abi Morgan and a brilliant performance from Meryl Streep this is one of the must sees of 2011.

An amazing film which can only be described as one of the finest espionage films ever made. This film keeps you guessing minute-by-minute and has your heart in your mouth at all times.
