John Carter 3D: The Disney film adaptation of Edgar Rice Burrough's novel is an action fantasy starring Taylor Kitsch (from the superb Friday Night Lights). He plays a captain in the American Civil War who is mysteriously transported to Mars where he tries to bring peace to the planet whilst fighting 12 foot monsters. Another film made in 3D for the sake of trying to hide the problems the film has elsewhere which is a shame for actor Taylor Kitsch.
Bel Ami: Guy de Maupassant's classic novel is brought to the big screen with Robert Pattinson being cast as charming Georges Duroy, who climbs the social ladders of Paris by sleeping with the wealthiest and most influential women in the city. It feels like they when they were casting they panicked and decided to get Robert Pattinson as the lead to guarantee the Twilight crowd would pay to see it rather than lose money, a real shame.
The Raven: John Cusack is Edgar Allan Poe, his story brought to life where he has to stop a killer who inspired by his own works is committing some grisly murders in 19th century Baltimore. Directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta) this film could build into something promising.
Payback Season: Speaking of promising films, here's one that really isn't. Adam Deacon is premiership footballer Jerome whose past catches up with him as he becomes more involved in the criminal underworld just as his life as a footballer is about to take off.
