Tom Hardy himself popped up at the press screening for his stylish and entertaining movie
Legend, in which he delivers two astonishing performances as the Kray twins, who ran London's gangland in the 1960s. Ed Helms stars in
Vacation, a next-generation sequel to the Chevy Chase comedies that's just as rude but more silly than edgy. Robert Redford and Nick Nolte star in the enjoyably earthy comedy
A Walk in the Woods, based on the Bill Bryson book. Marcia Gay Harden heads to Costa Rica in the warm comedy-drama
After Words, and has a life-altering encounter with a cheeky local. And Josh Hutcherson heads to Colombia in the realistic, gritty thriller
Escobar: Paradise Lost, where he becomes entangled with the 1990s drug kingpin, played with disarming charm by Benicio Del Toro.
A little further afield, we had the sequel
Sinister 2, which has an extreme embargo on it: until the day it opens. We also saw the beautifully made gentle Los Angeles drama
Brahmin Bulls, with Sendhil Ramamurthy and Roshan Seth as father and son; actor-turned-filmmaker Craig Roberts' perhaps too audacious,but skilfully made British coming-of-age movie
Just Jim; actor Steve Oram's even more experimental, and rather genius, sociological pastiche
Aaaaaaaah!; the rather bleak but moving Australian homophobia drama
Drown; and
Dishonoured Bodies, a collection of nine somewhat preachy but very cleverly assembled experimental shorts by Spanish filmmaker Juanma Carillo.
This coming week we have the NWA biopic
Straight Outta Compton, Zac Efron in
We Are Your Friends, Kevin Costner in
McFarland, Rupert Friend in
Hitman: Agent 47 and M Night Shyamalan's
The Visit.
