This week's releases

Rock of Ages: Based on the Broadway musical, it is a love story set to the backdrop of tunes by Def Leppard, Journey and Whitesnake as they both try to make it big in Hollywood. The film has performances from the likes of Russel Brand, Catherine Zeta Jones and Tom Cruise as well.


Cosmopolis: After polarising judges at the Cannes festival this year, Cronenberg's latest film is actually quite surreal even though its just based around a millionaire Wall Street traders trip across New York City to get his haircut. As the trip unfolds he realises that he could be losing it all on the markets and in his own life. Starring Robert Pattinson of Twilight fame.


Fast Girls: I know what you were thinking and now it isn't about that, riding the Olympics wave it follows four athletes as they prepare for a ''major world championships'' in the female sprint relay. It follows the the tough training and fall outs as they chase their dream and I'm sure inevitably win gold in this feel-good film (I dont know that, I'm guessing).


Red Lights: Directed by Rodrigo Cortes, the man behind Buried, we see an impressive cast including Robert de Niro and Sigourney Weaver. Elizabeth Olsen also looks to build on the huge success critically with Martha, Marcy, May Marlene in this thriller which sees two scientists try to disprove paranormal activity which produces mysterious results.
