Consensus: Engrossing tale of family angst, highlighted by Hathaway's powerful performance.

Anne Hathaway proves there is life beyond Bride Wars when she channels her Serious Actor Within as Kym, the drug addicted, pain-in-the-ass sister in Rachel Getting Married. Director Jonathan Demme goes to town with the hand-held shooting style he loves so much but it is Jenny Lumet's (Sidney's little girl) quick-fire script that keeps you gripped in the stomach-churning discomfort of familial dysfunction overload.

There are a lot of speeches, the family is unlikeable and it goes for just a bit too long; still, you can't help but love it. Basically it is every family wedding you have ever been to -- so pop the champagne, throw rice at yourself and get into it.

Special features: commentary with producer Neda Armian, screenwriter Jenny Lumet and editor Tim Squyres; commentary with actress Rosemarie DeWitt; Behind the Scenes; The Wedding Band; cast and crew Q&A; deleted scenes.

Available to rent and buy on DVD on Wednesday, 8 July.

Consensus: A surprisingly sympathetic portrayal of the 43rd American president, W. is fascinating in spots, but merely rudimentary as a whole.

Oliver Stone is at it again....the presidential biopic. He has done JFK and Nixon, and is now turning his gaze on our old mate, Dubya. If Bush-bashing is what you are after, you won't find it here. What you will find is an entertaining film that is performed quite well and is... um... kind of nice. 'Nice' is not a word that should ever be used to describe an Oliver Stone film or George W. Bush -- but there you have it. It focuses more on George's relationship with his father and God than the effect his particular brand of leadership had on the world, and arguably its biggest crime is that it doesn't dig very deep.

Still, it is surprisingly funny, in a good way, and the performances from Josh Brolin as the good ol' boy himself, Elizabeth Banks as Laura and James Cromwell as Daddy Bush are very sound. Watch it for its well-performed character study, rather than any political insights.

Special Features: commentary with director Oliver Stone; Dangerous Dynasty: The Bush Presidency; No Stranger to Controversy: Oliver Stone's George W. Bush; deleted scenes; and filmmakers' research and annotations Guide.
