Following the success of its 2002 movie outing, the MTV stunt boys are back for a second instalment. For those not in the know Jackass involves a group of American guys injuring themselves and taking part (sometimes as unknowing victims) in dangerous and outrageous stunts all in the name of comedy. The sequel reunites all of the original Jackass team, bar Raab Himself, allegedly due to an alcohol problem. Even Knoxville, now famous for films including Men In Black II and The Dukes of Hazzard, returns.

Director: Kevin Smith
Stars: Brian O’Halloran, Jeff Anderson, Rosario Dawson, Jason Mewes, Trevor Fehrman
Release Date: 22 September

Harvey Weinstein was well renowned for his marketing genius whilst at Miramax so it may be no mere coincidence that the sequel to the funniest, the smartest, in short, the best slacker comedy of all time, is released just in time to catch a new year of students. Think Black Adder set in small town America without the royalty. Think The Office, with 2 American Tim’s and a corpse in the toilet that Dawn accidentally has sex with. Think Jay and Silent Bob but with just the funny bits. The original Clerks, financed on credit cards and shot on weekends, not only made Kevin Smith - it also made us laugh, a lot. Now he’s about to do it again.

Nottingham has a wealth of fantastic cinemas, from the tiny to the megaplex. From stadium seating to a small living room. From nachos and cheese [sic] to fresh baked brownies. Check out Impact's authoratative rundown.

Director: Niki Caro
Stars: Charlize Theron, Frances McDormand, Sean Bean, Woody Harrelson
Running time: 126 minutes

‘North Country’ stars Theron as single mother of two, Josey Aimes, who escapes to her home town of Northern Minnesota after an abusive relationship. Upon arrival she gets a job at the local mines, alongside its predominantly male workforce. From this a regurgitation of the clichéd ‘struggling female story’ follows, culminating in Theron’s character suing the company for sexual harassment; making it the first of its kind in US legal history. So it’s based (loosely) on real life events. This does not excuse its unhealthy mix of gendered stereotypes, so extreme they border of caricatures. In brief, the women are moralistic, while the men chauvinistic – with Sean Bean’s character floating somewhere in the middle.

Jim Carrey seems to be rather like marmite. You either love him or hate him. Cleverly though, Fun with Dick and Jane - a remake of the 1970s comedy of the same name - appears capable of alienating both camps. Those who are fans of his rubber-faced goofiness will be disappointed by the film’s comparative lack of it and those who aren’t, by the absence of anything to take its place. Yet it is difficult to see what more could have been done with a script that is, at best, mildly amusing and characters as wet as particularly soggy fish.

I had shaken off the fever in my bedroom , the cold had been left behind in a Kleenex and, as part of my re-integration back into society, a dimly lit cinema screening of ‘walk the line’ sounded ideal. I must confess to not being a great fan of the late Johnny Cash, although the uber-biographical film does have a certain appeal.

Watching Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke’s new film is like being locked into a two hour game of Cluedo where it turns out someone forgot to shuffle some solution cards. Caché rushes along with the impending sense of dread and perfectly calibrated suspense of a well-oiled psychological thriller, but there are few conclusions and consolations to be drawn.

Jake Gyllenhaal has been a busy man, turning his back on end-of-the-world-disaster epics and worming his way back to respectability by fooling around in a Stetson and starring in one of the first films properly focusing on the Gulf War. Here he is a rampant young marine chasing combat from a Kubrick-style boot camp to Iraq and Operation Desert Shield, where he finds himself wading through charred corpses and oil gushing into the sky and returning as a sickly, slick rain.

Director: Peter Jackson
Stars: Naomi Watts, Jack Black
Running time: 187 mins

Jackson once again shows that with a load of cash and special computer effects he can recreate pretty much anything. Forget Gandalf and a bunch of hairy hobbits, this time it comes in the form of reworking the 1933 classic King Kong. The film stars Jack Black as ambitious film director Carl Denham, who in his determination to make his movie on an unknown exotic island, despite being dropped by his sponsors and losing his female lead (if these weren't big enough hints that it wasn't meant to be), decides to pursue it anyway. In comes struggling actress Ann Darrow, played by Naomi Watts, and off they set for the appropriately named Skull Island, inhabited by an array of dinosaurs, disgusting insects, and if that wasn't all, a 25 foot tall gorilla, who falls in love with Ann.

Showing in cinemas in Nottingham this month...

Brokeback Mountain centres on the lives of two cowboys, played by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, who meet when they sign up to work together sheep-herding on a remote mountain range one summer in the 1960's.

You don't need to tell Harry Potter and Ron Weasley that puberty's a bitch. A ball-dropping, voice-breaking, pimple-sprouting car-crash of a time, where - to really mess with your melon - that dowdy, bookish girl you hang around with has blossomed overnight into a genuine, a-grade, pro-hottie. But having to face up to the worst the wizarding world can throw at you at the same time - Jesus-pole-vaulting-Christ - that's a tough ask.

Based on the bestselling novel of the same name by John le Carré, The Constant Gardener is a welcome return from the dynamic and highly talented director that brought us City of God: Fernando Meirelles.

Director: Cameron Crowe
Stars Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst
Running Time: 124 minutes

More famously known for being the effeminate one from The Lord Of The Rings, this time Bloom stars in his own film. Drew Taylor is a shoe designer who upon being fired for losing his company millions of dollars on a pair of trainers, decides to commit suicide only to be saved just in time by the news of his father's death.
