Review: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Tinker Tailor Blooming Marvellous

Drive

10% cars, 20% Carey Mulligan and 70% Ryan Gosling smiling slowly, Drive is 100% awesome.

How to Stop the End of the World

If you were affected by the issues raised in Melancholia, here's a guide to avoiding the apocalypse.

Warrior

A heavyweight drama, Warrior is obvious, but undeniably moving. It's a hard slog, but it's worth it.

The Skin I Live In

A sexy masterpiece that excites as much as it unsettles. Demented, disturbing and terrifyingly brilliant.

Crazy, Stupid, Love

The film can't quite classify itself as drama or comedy, but it's the mix of the two elements that makes it all so true.

In between scrawling "THE END IS NIGH" on a sandwich board and running around naked like Kirsten Dunst, you rifle through your DVD collection of movie apocalypses to work out what to do. Armageddon? Deep Impact? What about zombies or natural disasters? Then you realise that you've actually just been watching Lars von Trier's Melancholia, out this weekend in UK cinemas, and that the world isn't about to end after all.


Oh well, at least you've got this handy set of instructions for when the apocalypse actually arrives...
