Leap Year (Film) Film icon 3 star rating PG certificate
Amy Adams and Matthew Goode star in this transatlantic romcom from Shopgirl and Red Riding director Anand Tucker. Anna is living a contented life in Boston, or she would be, if only her heart-surgeon boyfriend - currently working in Dublin - would pop that all-important question. Deciding that she's waited long enough, and encouraged by her Irish father, who reminds her of the tradition of women proposing to their beloved on the 29th of February, she hops on a plane to Ireland. However, the Emerald Isle's weather defeats even her steely determination and forces the flight to land on the other side of the country from the capital. Now she has limited time to get to Dublin, a long way to go and a pub-owner-cum-taxi driver, Declan, who, though handsome, is a little too testy for her liking. But as the pair make their slow way towards her goal, they gradually begin to view each other differently... Edited for content.

Watchmen (Film) Film icon 4 star rating 18 certificate
A dystopian fantasy adventure based on an unusually faithful adaptation of the highly regarded graphic novel by Alan Moore, directed by Zach Snyder. It is 1985 and Richard Nixon continues his tenure in the White House, massively popular with the electorate following his crushing defeat of the Viet Cong. However, it seems that the American public have fallen out of love with their superheroes, one of whom, Dr Manhattan, was largely responsible for the winning the Vietnam War. Now, he and his fellow crime-fighters are regarded as reprehensible vigilantes and have been banned by law. But, when one of their number - the vile, ironically named Comedian - is murdered, the former heroes begin to re-emerge from the shadows to investigate. They discover that a terrifying plan is afoot.
Director: Zack Snyder
Starring: Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Patrick Wilson
(Widescreen, Subtitles, Audio Described, 2009, 18, 4 Star)
