 Cast saves 'Virginia' from being a disasterAs movies go, Virginia is a misfire. The film concerns a woman with psychological problems, her married lover and her 16-year-old son, but the tale wobbles between humour and drama in a disconcerting fashion.

|
 'Marigold Hotel' worth the stayIf British films such as Calendar Girls, The Full Monty or Widows' Peak are just your cuppa, you'll want to see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. It's a film about people of a certain age; as it happens, they're all played by the creme de la creme of U.K. actors of a certain age. What jolly luck!

 Summer flicks with a lot to proveIt goes without saying that with next weekend's arrival of The Avengers, the 2012 summer movie season is fully expected to get off to a super-sized start, with off-the-charts audience tracking that could put it in the $150 million-plus arena, matching or beating The Hunger Games' kick-off.
|
 Marvel stars we'd like onscreenI can't help but feel disappointed that Edgar Wright didn't hold up his end and come up with an Ant-Man movie in time for that original Avenger to be included in The Avengers.
|
 'Avengers' sequel very likelyAfter next weekend's box office returns, The Avengers will disassemble into their own respective franchises again. Officially, no sequel is planned until they "know" it's a success.
|
 'The Lady' fascinating, timelyThe Lady is a biopic of Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi. The film celebrates her role in Burma's struggle for democracy and underlines the personal sacrifices involved in her dedication to her country.
|
 'Darling' a pointless melodramaBeing the voice of affluent white Baby Boomers was something for Lawrence Kasdan to hang his hat on when Boomers Ruled The World (i.e., when The Big Chill came out).
|
 'Warriors' a sweeping war epicWith a cast numbering around 15,000, Warriors Of The Rainbow: Seediq Bale is a sweeping war epic about the indigenous people of Taiwan and their fight against oppressive Japanese forces.

 'Comic-Con' leaves questionsThere's a moment in Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope when diehard video game fangirl Holly Conrad compares her quest to create the perfect set of Mass Effect 2 costumes to that of the sci-fi saga's own doomed heroes: "It's a metaphorical suicide mission for my future," she states, perhaps aware how this must look to the outside world.
|
 Stillman makes long-awaited return"It was such a privilege from the get-go. I just loved the script. He has such a singular vision. He's so original. Just to be in his universe is such a thrill, because you're doing nothing that's cliched."
|
 Maddin's 'Keyhole' hard to unlockHas everyone in the world who "gets" Guy Maddin, found him yet?
|
 'Deep Blue Sea' a brilliant filmThe Deep Blue Sea opens with a complex, beautifully photographed suicide attempt, so it seems fair to say this is not the feel-good movie of the week.
|
