This week's new films

Silent Souls (15) (Aleksei Fedorchenko, 2010, Rus) Igor Sergeev, Yuriy Tsurilo, Yuliya Aug. 78 mins Even by Russian standards, this lyrical road movie is a strange world of its own. It's a journey back in time, as much as across a remote landscape, with a friend helping his boss to give his deceased wife her last rites, according to their ancient tribal ways. Along the drive, we're steeped in strange folklore involving vodka, rivers, small birds and ornamental pubic hair. Is it for real? Or an elaborate joke told with a very straight face? Does it matter? The Five Year Engagement (15) (Nicholas Stoller, 2012, US) Emily Blunt, Jason Segel, Chris Pratt. 124 mins The obstacle to true love is built into the title of this romcom, but it's at least smartly handled, as high-flyer Blunt keeps her fiance in perpetual limbo. Where Do We Go Now? (12A) (Nadine Labaki, 2011, Fra/Leb/Egy/Ita) Claude Baz Moussawbaa, Leyla Hakim. 110 mins Another Arab comedy where women take control, tackling Christian-Muslim tensions by importing Ukrainian exotic dancers. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (15) (Timur Bekmambetov, 2012, US) Benjamin Walker, Dominic Cooper. 105 mins American history rewritten as action horror, in a movie draped with special effects and patriotism. Lay The Favourite (15) (Stephen Frears, 2012, US/UK) Bruce Willis, Rebecca Hall. 94 mins Willis inducts Hall into Las Vegas sports betting in an inconsequential comedy-drama. Chernobyl Diaries (15) (Bradley Parker, 2012, US) Jesse McCartney, Jonathan Sadowski, Olivia Dudley. 88 mins A clandestine tourist excursion to Chernobyl goes wrong but the Paranormal Activity team struggle to come up with another horror original. Cloclo (12A) (Florent-Emilio Siri, 2012, Fra/Bel) Jérémie Renier, Benoît Magimel. 149 mins French singer Claude François justifies a lengthy biopic, with his ambition, womanising, cheesy disco and lurid death. Think Like A Man (12A) (Tim Story, 2012, US) Michael Ealy, Jerry Ferrara, Gabrielle Union. 122 mins Ensemble African-American battle-of-the-sexes comedy about a self-help book. White Collar Hooligan (18) (Paul Tanter, 2012, UK) Nick Nevern, Simon Philips, Rita Ramnani. 81 mins British manhood at its worst in this fusion of football and criminal violence. Teri Meri Kahaani (PG) (Kunal Kohli, 2012, Ind) Priyanka Chopra, Shahid Kapoor. 150 mins Ambitious romantic fantasy in which three couples meet in 1910 Lahore, 1960s Mumbai and 2012 England. Victim (15) (Alex Pillai, 2011, UK) Ashley Chin, Ashley Madekwe. 86 mins Competent youth drama in which a country girl meets an inner-city bad boy.
