In Stand Up Guys, Val (Al Pacino) is released from prison after serving 28 years for refusing to give up one of his close criminal associates. His best friend Doc (Christopher Walken) is there to pick him up, and the two soon re-team with another old pal, Hirsch. Their bond is as strong as ever, and the three reflect on freedom lost and gained, loyalties ebbed and flowed, and days of glory gone by. And despite their age, their capacity for mayhem is still very much alive and well – bullets fly as they make a hilariously valiant effort to compensate for the decades of crime, drugs and sex they’ve missed. But one of the friends is keeping a dangerous secret – he’s been put in an impossible quandary by a former mob boss, and his time to find an acceptable alternative is running out. As the sun rises on the guys’ legendary reunion, their position becomes more and more desperate and they finally confront their past once and for all.

What started as an ultra-cheap 1974 splatter-fest from Tobe Hooper continues to mine as much money as possible from punters with Leatherface returning with an extra dimension in Texas Chainsaw 3D. The idea with this one is to go back and tell us what happened just after the very first movie (the new film apparently ignores all the other sequels). It’s believed Leatherface and his family have disappeared, but then a young woman discovers she’s inherited a remote Texan house. Suffice to say when she and her friends head there, it doesn’t turn out too well. The film hits cinemas early next year.

It’s taken a long time to get a trailer for Spielberg’s Lincoln, but now it’s here, showing the director in full on soft-tint epic historical mode. It all looks very worthy and Oscar-bait, but we’ll have to wait and see if Spielberg can get over his tendency to get slightly boring when he goes back beyond the Second World War. The movie concentrates on the last years of Lincoln’s life, when with the Civil War raging, many believed the only way to end conflict and save the union was to rescind the Emancipation Proclamation (which freed slaves and was relatively flimsy legally, as it was a Presidential order that had never been backed by the Congress, Senate or courts). However Abraham pressed forward trying to find support for a Constitutional Amendment, which would ensure black people could not be enslaved in the US ever again.

While for the last few years, Disney’s homegrown animation hasn’t always been that great, it looks like they could be on to a winner with Wreck-It Ralph. Here’s the synopsis: ‘Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore (TV’s “The Simpsons,” “Futurama”) take moviegoers on a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping journey in “Wreck-It Ralph.” Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly, “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,” “Step Brothers”) is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix (voice of Jack McBrayer, “30 Rock”), the “good guy” star of their game who always gets to save the day. But after decades doing the same thing and seeing all the glory go to Felix, Ralph decides he’s tired of playing the role of a bad guy.He takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a game-hopping journey across the arcade through every generation of video games to prove he’s got what it takes to be a hero. On his quest, he meets the tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch, TV’s “Glee”) from the first-person action game Hero’s Duty. But it’s the feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman, “The Sarah Silverman Program”) from the candy-coated cart racing game, Sugar Rush, whose world is threatened when Ralph accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens the entire arcade. Will Ralph realise his dream and save the day before it’s too late? “Wreck-It Ralph” crashes onto the big screen in February 2013, in Disney Digital 3D™ in select UK cinemas.’

It’s over two years since they filmed The Oranges, but its only now a trailer has arrived, ahead of a US release this autumn, with a UK debut currently set for December 7th. The movie sees Hugh Laurie as a middle-aged man who falls for the daughter (Leighton Meester) of a family friend, with the May to December romance causing all sorts of problems. Check out the new, ruder red band trailer.

Viggo Mortensen has long proved he’s more interested in an acting challenge than mainstream success, he’s certainly got that with Everybody Has A Plan, as he plays twins and has to speak Spanish. The movie tells the story of Agustín (Mortensen), a man desperate to abandon what for him has become, after years of living in Buenos Aires, a very frustrating existence. After the death of his twin brother, Pedro, Agustín decides to start a new life, adopting the identity of his brother and returning to the mysterious region of the Delta, in the Tigre, where they lived when they were boys. However, shortly after his return, Agustín finds himself unwillingly involved in the dangerous criminal world that was a part of his brother’s life.
