Of Gods And Men (15)
(Xavier Beauvois, 2010, Fra) Lambert Wilson, Michael Lonsdale. 122 mins.
The spiritualism is far from abstract in this powerful, resonant drama, based on a story of French Cistercian monks in 1990s north Africa. When their harmonious village life is threatened by violent Islamic fundamentalists, they're given a real test of faith. Should they stay or go? Do they belong there anyway? Are they ready for martydom?
Megamind (PG)
(Tom McGrath, 2010, Us) Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt, Tina Fey. 96 mins.
Smart, polished animation with Ferrell's blue meanie vanquishing his nemesis, but then wanting to be good.
Monsters (12A)
(Gareth Edwards, 2010, UK/Us) Scoot McNairy, Whitney Able. 94 mins.
Low-budget sci-fi plus indie date movie equals alternative credentials, as a couple trek through a futuristic Mexico infested with aliens and metaphors.
Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (15)
(Jalmari Helander, 2010, Fin) Onni Tommila, Jorma Tommila, Rauno Juvonen. 83 mins.
This deadpan Finnish treat reimagines Santa as an evil child-snatcher.
