You may think you know all the ways to kill a man. Even the really cool ones. You don’t. It turns out there are loads. And The Raid knows all of them. Some involve filing cabinets.

Of course, you may not want to know how to kill a man with an office-based storage facility. You may want to watch a quiet, character-driven piece about policeman or drug dealers. This is not that film. Yes, there are characters. And they are policemen and drug dealers. But their only narrative function is to die. And to do it as messily as possible.

Has there ever been an actor harder to like off the screen but so easy to like on it? The world is all too familiar with Mad Mel’s meltdown, but old Gibson just keeps on going, popping up in front of the camera to remind us why we all used to love him. You know, before he was so racist.

Like The Beaver, Get the Gringo is a film that comes surprisingly close to Gibson’s real life controversy. Perhaps that’s why it’s been renamed for UK audiences to How I Spent My Spent My Summer Vacation – a title so inoffensive you expect Cliff Richard to turn up halfway through. Don't worry, he doesn’t.

A British play about young Indian newly-weds that won plaudits across the globe, it was inevitable that someone would look at Ayub Khan-Din’s Rafta, Rafta and think “BAFTA, BAFTA”. Enter Made in Dagenham’s Nigel Cole, who directs this likeable screen adaptation. Together, his light touch and a talented cast make sure it isn’t (ahem) naff-ta, naff-ta.

When my pet rabbit died, I didn't get it cloned, raise it as my son, and then try and sleep with it. BUT EVA GREEN DID. If, by rabbit, you mean Matt Smith. Yes, Clone is one of those films. Those incest films. Those incesty films with incest in them.

After the orchestrated mayhem of 13 Assassins, everyone expected Takashi Miike’s next samurai remake (of the 1962 Harakiri) to be an equally bloody stream of brilliance. The addition of 3D promised even more entrails and splattering gore. But Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai has none of that. Not even a burning cow. It’s an impressive show of restraint - and also a little disappointing.

Trailer

“I don’t even know who you are!” “I’m Piggy.”

That’s the moment that Piggy builds up to: the point at which harmless little Joe (Compston) starts to question what he’s done. The problem is that the film doesn’t know what to do once it gets there.

A quiet young man living in London, Joe’s lonely routine – sleep, work, get high – is shattered when his bolshy older brother (Kill List’s Neil Maskell) is attacked by a gang in an alley. He goes into extreme hibernation, barely speaking to the cute and kind love interest Louise Dylan. But then Piggy (Anderson) turns up on his doorstep. An old friend of his brother, he talks Joe out of the living room and into getting revenge. Physical revenge. With a hammer.

I've never walked out of a film, but I almost wish I had left Silent House halfway through - not because it's a bad film, but because I would've avoided the rubbish ending, taken from 2010's La Casa Muda, a Uruguayan movie which had the same structure and style, mainly consisting of scaring the crap out of you for 60 minutes by presenting everything in one single take before blowing the tension on a silly twist that defies logic and continuity...

Trailer

Academically-gifted children must live in constant fear of being abducted by criminal overlords - or even worse, guys with no hair determined to save them from criminal overlords. No wonder grades are slipping. Kids are scared that if they display a modicum of intelligence, some bald bloke will turn up outside the school gates and whisk them away to a life of bullets and car chases. You know, for their protection.

Directors: Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg

Can you name all five male actors from the original American Pie movie? If so, then this film is for you.

Bringing back together Jim (Biggs), Stifler (Scott), Finch (Thomas), Oz (Klein) and, erm, the other one (Nicholas), it's a self-proclaimed return to the glory days of the franchise. You know, before American Pie Presents: The Book of Love, American Pie Presents: Band Camp and, erm, the other ones.

And it is better than that straight-to-DVD drivel. Not that it's saying much: burning your genitals in a scalding hot pie has already been proven to be more fun than American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile.

Director: Jeff Orlowski

In under 80 minutes, Jeff Orlowski’s documentary Chasing Ice manages to capture something that disaster movies have been trying to for years: the colossal, beautiful and horrifying destruction of our planet.

Using still photography and staggering video footage, he follows the gradual annihilation of glaciers around the globe due to climate change. The results are jaw dropping, easily eclipsing any amount of Hollywood CGI. In terms of size, impact and ecological message, Chasing Ice is 1,000 times the movie The Day after Tomorrow wanted to be. If Roland Emmerich saw it, he would probably pee his pants.
