Warner reboots Superman again, with some inputs from Dark Knight wunderkind Chris Nolan. The basic storyline generally follows the expected introductary arc, but the timeline is juggled and there are a few adaptations. With his home planet Krypton about to be destroyed, a father sends his son away in a spaceship, which eventually lands on Earth. A farming couple raises the boy, who gradually learns of his super powers. When grown to manhood, the baddie from Krypton arrives, intent on destroying Earth, and it’s up to Superman to see off the threat. Note that this movie is far more violent than previous instalments.

Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Diane Lane, Russell Crowe, Antje Traue, Harry Lennix, Richard Schiff, Kevin Costner

The year is 1991, and Spud Milton’s long walk to manhood is still creeping along at an unnervingly slow pace. Approaching the ripe old age of fifteen, Spud is coming to terms with the fact that he may well be a freak of nature. With a mother keen to emigrate, a father making a killing out of selling homemade moonshine, and a demented grandmother, the new year seems to offer little except extreme embarrassment and more mortifying Milton madness. He is soon beset with women trouble, coerced into misguided late-night adventures and finds his dreams of a famous career on the stage in tatters after landing a bad role. Then things get worse.

John Cleese, Troye Sivan, Jason Cope, Tanit Phoenix, Jeremy Crutchley, Aaron McIlroy, Julie Summers, Graham Weir, Charlbi Dean
