A delightful feel-good movie about two wildly different boys growing up in the 80's and forming an unlikely alliance. Will is the sheltered son of a Plymouth Bretheren family that rejects such worldly pleasures as music, books and TV. He meets with Lee, the appallingly behaved school terror who makes bizarre home movies. During a long English summer they soon embark on a home-movie version of Sly Stallone's First Blood to enter in the BBC's Screen Test for a young film-makers' competition.

A teenager coping with pregnancy needs a strong backbone so it no wonder that director Jason Reitman cast Ellen Page as Juno. After her steely turn in Hard Candy, the young actress carries the weight of this film with consummate ease and no small degree of charm. She cuts straight to the bone with scathingly sharp dialogue (scripted by Diablo Cody), but she also brings warmth and vulnerability to soften the edges.

A brilliant update of the haunted house story produced by Guillermo del Toro of Pan's Labryinth fame. Belen Rueda returns to her childhood house and opens an orphanage, but disaster strikes when her son goes missing - and there's something nasty lurking in the basement. The film uses every cliché in the book, but still manages to turn into one of the most stunning and scary films of the year.

Persopolis is based on writer and co-director Marjane Satrapi's semi-autobiographical series of graphic novels about a young Iranian girl growing up during the Isalamic revolution. It deservedly shared the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes FIlm Festival. A beautifully animated, thoroughly engaging coming-of-age drama that is, by turns, moving, thought-provoking and laugh-out-loud funny.

The film uses the love-hate relationship between two brothers (played by Elio Germano and Riccardo Scamarcio) from a working-class family to explore the ideological cracks within Italian society during the 1960's and 1970's, the so-called "years of lead". Scripted by Sandro Petraglia and Stefano Rulli, it's an amusing and engagingly acted film, which respects the contradictions of its characters.
