  2. Sweeney Todd

    Who is in it? Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen, Alan Rickman. The film tells the story of Benjamin Barker a.k.a Sweeney Todd, who sets up a barber shop in London and begins a sinister partnership with his fellow tenant, Mrs.Lovett.

  4. There Will be Blood

    Who is in it? Daniel Day Lewis, Paul Dano, Kevin J. O'Connor. A story about family, greed, religion and oil, centered around a turn of the century Texas prospector. This one has Oscars talk all over it - looks good.

  5. The 11th Hour

    Who is in it? Leonardo Di Caprio, Planet Earth. Narrated, produced and spearheaded by Di Caprio, this hard hitting documentary concerns how humans have messed up the earth - and what can be done about it.

  6. John Rambo

    Who is in it? Sylvester Stallone, Matthew Marsden. Yes. Rambo is back but don't laugh, old Sly managed to save the Rocky franchise - maybe he can do the same with this one.

  7. Horton Hears a Who!

    Who is in it? (voiced by) Jim Carrey, Steve Carell. Based on the 1954 book by Dr.Seuss, this animated comedy concerns an elephant who decides to defend the microscopic community of Who-ville against the evil Sour Kangaroo.

  8. Iron Man

    Who is in it? Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Samuel L. Jackson. Downey Jr brings to life the Marvel character Tony Stark who is forced to create a life support suit to keep him alive after an accident and decides to use the technology in his suit to fight crime.

  9. Speed Racer

    Who is in it? Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, Matthew Fox. This all action adventure is based on a classic 1960's Japanese animated series chronicling a young race car driver as he attempts to obtain glory with the help of a super-advanced car.

  10. Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull

    Who is in it? Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett. Indy's back after almost 20 years. Cate Blanchett plays a baddie. Ray Winstone will be Indy's sidekick and there will be a lot of jungle action.

  11. Sex and The City: The Movie

    Who is in it? Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis. The film that was on and off! The script is closely guarded secret though but expect a lot of action around a sort of city landscape. Oh, and will Carrie marry Mr Big?

  12. The Incredible Hulk

    Who is in it? Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth. This isn't a sequel to 2003's Hulk but does lead where the other film ended. The big money says it will be a much better film that its predecessor - let's hope so.

  13. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

    Who is in it? Anna Popplewell, William Moseley, George Henley. The Pevensie siblings return to Narnia where they are enlisted to once again help ward off an evil king and restore the rightful heir to the land's throne, Prince Caspian.

  15. The Dark Knight

    Who is in it? Christian Bale, Heath Ledger (RIP), Gary Oldman, Maggie Gyllenhall, Cillian Murphy. The last Batman film was brilliant - can this one match it? A strong cast with the introduction of the caped one's greatest arch enemy - a psychotic bank robber known as The Joker, should do!

  16. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Empire

  17. How To Lose Friends And Alienate People

  19. Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince

    Who is in it? Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson. We are nearing the finishing line now and as the story gets darker as the films get better. Those who have read the book will know to prepare for a shock at the end.

  20. Star Trek XI: The Menagerie

    Who is in it? Chris Pine, Simon Pegg, Eric Bana. Lost co creator J.J. Abrams is directing - and this film follows the early days of T.Kirk and his USS Enterprise crew during their time to Starfleet Academy.
