Janice Forsyth reviews 'superior actioner' The Raid, plus she has interviews with Chris Rock, Julie Delpy and Jonny Lee Miller.

Even The Rain - Film critics, Nigel Floyd and Graeme Virtue review this powerful, richly layered indictment of the plight of Latin America's dispossessed that cunningly parallels the Spanish conquest of the Americas with the 20th-century spread of capitalism.(and which drives its big ideas home through a tightly knit Paul Laverty script.) 

Dark Shadows - Jonny Lee Miller discusses his role as Roger Collins in Dark Shadows the fantasy comedy film based on the 1966-1971 gothic soap opera of the same name. The film is directed by Tim Burton and stars Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins, a 200-year-old vampire, and Michelle Pfeiffer as his cousin.

Chris Rock and Julie Delpy discuss 2 Days in New York - a witty romp, it's the follow-up film to 2 Days in Paris with the addition of Chris Rock, who this time plays the straight man as Delpy's hipster American boyfriend. 

The Life and Death Col. Blimp - Writer and broadcaster, Pasquale Iannone discusses Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's epic wartime masterpiece forensically restored and back in cinemas from Friday 18 May. Long singled out by Martin Scorsese, Stephen Fry and Wes Anderson as a personal favourite and one of the most singular, brilliant and influential films of the 20th century, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp is an examination of love, friendship, patriotism, war and aging like no other. 

The Raid: Film critics, Nigel Floyd and Graeme Virtue discuss this superior actioner - an Indonesia action flick, directed by Welshman Gareth Evans which arrives surrounded by a mountain of buzz after standing ovations at the Toronto Film Festival and SXSW.
