There's no denying that Epic looks stunning; with beautiful, lush, green landscapes; a multitude of well-rendered animals and insects; and an impressively immersive world comparable to that of Avatar. But, like James Cameron's 3D game changer, Epic relies too heavily on aesthetics and not nearly enough on character.

While it has its problems, Black's Iron Man 3 is smart, funny and consistently entertaining, and serves as a reminder of just how fun blockbuster cinema can be when in the right hands.

Theatre Delicatessen has undoubtedly cornered the 'pop-up theatre' market. The mind-child of Roland Smith, Frances Loy and Jessica Brewster, Theatre Delicatessen was born in 2007 and has since made it's mark by inhabiting disused buildings around London, then transforming them into immersive theatrical experiences.

Ever since Marvel announced plans to finally produce an Iron Man movie, rumours of an Avengers film have been circling the internet. 

Nostalgia is a very effective marketing tool. Over the last few years we've seen many much loved cartoon characters of yester-year resurrected and given the 3D/CGI make over.

There is much to like about J. Edgar, but the strong performances, solid script and a genuinely engaging love story are somewhat suffocated but its turgid direction, lethargic pacing and formulaic narrative.

Where No Vultures Fly (1951) is, in many ways, an overlooked Ealing film of the early 1950s, being released after the one-two hit of The Lavender Hill Mob (June 1951) and The Man in the White Suit (August 1951), and belonging to a genre - colonial action-adventure - that is less well-covered in histories of the studio.

The Thing ticks all the boxes but does it without the true chills of John Carpenter's original. Unfortunately there was a real opportunity to make something new and exciting, but The Thing feels more like a by-the-numbers slasher that we've all seen done better before.

Loaded with this much creative resplendence, one would expect to sit through The Sleeping Beauty with a Cheshire Cat grin, clapping like an over-enthusiastic seal and emoting enough blindly zealous praise to rival American Idol judges.

Amongst the guest stars is a barely recognisable David Walliams as Gibbis; a member of an alien raced famed for it's cowardice.  It has become somewhat of a tradition to cast popular comedians in Doctor Who, with previous parts for Simon Pegg, James Cordon, Peter Kay and Catherine Tate, and Walliams put in a good performance.  He was given some of the best lines in an episode whose gag rate was a bit hit and miss.

Conan the Barbarian 2011 is unlikely to win over any new fans but if your keen on frantic pacing, blood by the bucket load and abs and biceps galore, you may well have a decent night out, just remember to set your brain to pantomime mode!

The discussion of 3D is a horse that has been flogged to within an inch of its life over the last few years, with powerful film writers such as Roger Ebert being particularly vocal in their resentment of cinema's latest technological development. But with the vast majority of critics uncharacteristically singing from the same hymn sheet, and audiences beginning to turn their back on inflated ticket prices, what do people on the creative side of the film industry think?
