This week's new films

American Pie: Reunion (15) (Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, 2012, US) Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott, Eugene Levy, Alyson Hannigan. 113 mins It's rare to see teen-movie characters all grown up, and this illustrates the reason why: they just make us feel old. The gang's all here, reverting to their old non-PC habits even as they mourn their lost youth. It's patchy and often dodgy comedy, but there's still something heartening about Stifler's defiant idiocy and Jim's dad's middle-age second chance. Safe (15) (Boaz Yakin, 2012, US) Jason Statham, Catherine Chan. 94 mins Triads, Russian mobsters, cops and everyone else in New York falls foul of Statham in another ludicrous but fast-moving actioner. Two Years At Sea (U) (Ben Rivers, 2012, UK) Jake Williams. 90 mins Extraordinary, otherworldly observation of a modern-day Scottish hermit. Goodbye First Love (15) (Mia Hansen-Løve, 2011, Fra/Ger) Lola Créton, Sebastian Urzendowsky. 111 mins Heartfelt study of a young teen's formative romantic fortunes. The Lucky One (12A) (Scott Hicks, 2012, US) Zac Efron, Taylor Schilling, Blythe Danner. 101 mins Bulked-up Efron plays a returning marine drawn to a country belle in this Nicholas Sparks romance. Angel & Tony (15) (Alix Delaporte, 2010, Fra) Clotilde Hesme, Grégory Gadebois. 83 mins Halting love in a Normandy fishing town. Monsieur Lazhar (12A) (Philippe Falardeau, 2011, Can) Mohamed Fellag, Sophie Nélisse, Emilien Néron. 95 mins The "inspirational teacher" tale benefits from an immigrant twist. Silent House (15) (Chris Kentis, Laura Lau, 2011, US) Elizabeth Olsen, Adam Trese. 85 mins Inevitable remake adds very little to the original one-take stumble around an isolated haunted house. Hara-Kiri: Death Of A Samurai (18) (Takashi Miike, 2011, Jap/UK) Ebizô Ichikawa, Kôji Yashuko. 128 mins Miike crafts a slow-moving story of samurai honour that lacks a certain sharpness. Juan Of The Dead (15) (Alejandro Brugués, 2011, Spa/Cub) Alexis Díaz de Villegas. 92 mins The lingua franca of the comical zombie apocalypse comes to Cuba. Clone (15) (Benedek Fliegauf, 2010, UK) Eva Green, Matt Smith. 107 mins Subdued sci-fi that can't do justice to its intriguing premise: Green gives birth to her dead lover's clone. Piggy (18) (Kieron Hawkes, 2012, UK) Paul Anderson, Martin Compston. 106 mins Compston is co-opted into a revenge plan that gets out of hand in this Brit thriller. Dinotasia (PG) (David Krentz, Eric Nelson, 2012, US) 83 mins CGI natural prehistory with a scientific basis, narrated by Werner Herzog. Jannat 2 (15) (Kunal Deshmukh, 2012, Ind) Emraan Hashmi, Randeep Hooda. 134 mins Bollywood arms-dealer action based on Nic Cage vehicle Lord Of War.

Dangerous Ishhq Bollywood kidnap thriller. Charlie Casanova Irish portrait of an evil executive. Coming soon In two weeks … Sacha Baron Cohen winds back the Arab spring in The Dictator … Bone-crunching Indonesian action movie The Raid … In three weeks … Wes Anderson's all-star Moonrise Kingdom … Down memory-wipe lane with Men In Black III … In a month … Ridley Scott's anticipated sci-fi Prometheus … Whisky galore in Ken Loach's The Angels' Share …
