This week's new films

Enter The Void (18) (Gaspar Noé, 2009, Fra/Ger/Ita) Nathaniel Brown, Paz de la Huerta, Cyril Roy. 143 mins Noé adjusts your set from the inside with a film so hallucinogenic you might need to check into rehab afterwards. Despite some of the furthest-out visuals ever seen, nobody could accuse him of glamorising drugs. Following an American loser through the sleazy side of Tokyo, mostly after his death, it's a long, miserable tale, but the execution is amazing. The Town (15) (Ben Affleck, 2010, US) Ben Affleck, Rebecca Hall. 125 mins Affleck takes on a whole Boston district in this crime saga, which overextends him a little. It's a serious drama struggling to get out of a generic cops-and-robbers thriller. Eat Pray Love (PG) (Ryan Murphy, 2010, US) Julia Roberts, James Franco, Javier Bardem. 140 mins Roberts goes to Italy, India and Bali but she's never been to "me" in this emetic hymn to self-absorption. World's Greatest Dad (15) (Bobcat Goldthwait, 2009, US) Robin Williams, Daryl Sabara. 99 mins Satire of modern attitudes to grief, with Williams as a teacher who gives a family tragedy a more respectable makeover, with unexpected results. The Hole (12A) (Joe Dante, 2009, US) Chris Massoglia, Haley Bennett. 92 mins Fantasy fun from the Gremlins director, as teens discover a bottomless pit of mild fear under the carpet, which cures their boredom. Peepli Live (15) (Anusha Rizvi, 2010, Ind) Omkar Das Manikpuri. 107 mins Un-Bollywoodish satire with a social conscience, in which a poor Indian farmer's proposed suicide turns into a media event. True Legend (15) (Yuen Woo-ping, 2010, Chi) Chiu Man-cheuk. 115 mins Broad-strokes martial arts epic that's interspersed with kick-ass action. Confucius (15) (Hu Mei, 2010, Chi) Chow Yun-fat, Zhou Xun. 125 mins Little of the Chinese sage's wisdom has gone into this historical sermon, whose onslaught of subtitles might scramble western brains. Budrus (PG) (Julia Bacha, 2009, Isr/Pal/US) 82 mins Doc following peaceful protesters from both sides of the Israel-Palestine security barrier. Frozen (15) (Adam Green, 2010, US) Emma Bell, Shawn Ashmore. 93 mins Adequate disaster minimalism as three youths are stranded on a chairlift in mid-air in midwinter. Dragon Hunters (PG) (Guillaume Ivernel, Arthur Qwak, 2008, Fra/Ger/Lux) Forest Whitaker, Rob Paulsen. 83 mins Euro answer to How To Train Your Dragon. The Wildest Dream (PG) (Anthony Geffen, 2010, US) 94 mins Top-notch rock doc retracing George Mallory's ill-fated Everest climb. From Here To Eternity (PG) (Fred Zinnemann, 1953, US) Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift. 118 mins The raciness looks quaint today, but this portrait of pre-Pearl Harbor military life still has the feel of a juicy, adult drama. Anjaana Anjaani (PG) (Siddarth Anand, 2010, Ind) Priyanka Chopra, Ranbir Kapoor. Bollywood romcom bringing together two would-be suicides in Las Vegas. Out next week The Secret Of Kells Oscar-nominated Irish kids' animation. Buried Ryan Reynolds finds himself six feet under without a shovel.
