The past couple of weeks have been fantastic for film-lovers, with some of the greatest movies of recent memory being released in quick succession. Unless you've got extra cash to spend, seeing them all can be quite expensive, so we're here to help make sure that you see only the best of the big screen.
The Dark Knight Rises (Christopher Nolan, 165 mins, 12A - out now)
The final chapter to legendary director Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy is packed full of explosive action, sultry chemistry and some of the most amazing effects to grace the silver screen. Christian Bale reprises his role as the Caped Crusader, with Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Liam Neeson all returning from the previous films. Anne Hathaway puts in a cool performance as Catwoman and Tom Hardy is terrifying as the masked madman, Bane.
5/5 - do not miss, guaranteed to be film of the year
Ted (Seth MacFarlane, 106 mins, 15 - out now)
From the creator of Family Guy, American Dad and The Cleveland Show, comes Ted - the story of how a child's wish can turn a stuffed teddy bear into a foul-mouthed, marijuana-smoking, borderline-alcoholic celebrity has-been. Mark Wahlberg plays Ted's owner and best friend, John, who must choose between his long-time girlfriend (Mila Kunis) and career, or his 'thunder buddy for life'. Ted is bursting with raunchy humour and very near-to-the-knuckle comedy so be prepared before you view!
4/5 - hilarious and original, though non-Family Guy viewers may be less than impressed
Next time: The Expendables 2, Keith Lemon: The Film and The Bourne Legacy
If the epic conclusion to the Dark Knight trilogy hasn't satisfied your appetite for Batman, download the official Dark Knight Rises app for iOS and Android and take on the mean streets of Gotham from the safety of an armchair!
Giving you access to Batman's huge arsenal of gadgets, including the Bat-Pod and The Bat, you'll take on dozens of varied missions to protect the city from Bane and his henchmen.
The iPad version of the game is especially fantastic to look at, bringing the dark and eerie city of Gotham to life, right in your hands.
