Cloverfield

Starring: Michael Stahl-David, Mike Vogel, Lizzy Caplan
Directed by: Matt Reeves
Release date: 1 February

Very little is known about this film as yet - it\'s all a bit too cloak and dagger for our liking. What we do know is that it involves a blooming big monster/alien who seems to be a tiny bit ticked off. From the look of the trailer it\'s mostly angry with New York and/or the Statue of Liberty.

Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull

Twelve years after his last crusade, Indiana Jones returns to the silver screen, this time to fight the Russians rather than then Nazis. As well as our hero Indiana, Karen Allen, who played Indy\'s true love Marion in the first film, is also set to make a comeback. There is some conjecture that rising star, Shia LaBeouf will be playing the couple\'s love child and that this will pave the way for more Indiana Jones films with Shia taking the lead role.
