COLLATERAL (15): See review.

STAGE BEAUTY (15): Ned Kynaston (Billy Crudup), who's made his name as an actor in women's roles, faces ruin when Charles II permits actresses to take the stage. Bawdy costume romp with strong performances, and an affecting love story.

OPEN WATER (15): Two divers surface from a diving excursion to find their boat has left without them. The only thing on an otherwise empty horizon is the fin of a circling shark. Superb low-budget thriller.

ANCHORMAN - THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY (12A): Seventies news anchorman Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) finds his cosy empire threatened by calculating Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), who wants his job. Spluttering comedy.

WICKER PARK (12A): Josh Hartnett is thrown off-balance when he overhears his lost love talking in a bar. Trying to track her down, he bumps into another, very alluring woman. Flat-footed thriller.

HELLBOY (12A): Demon Hellboy (Ron Perlman), raised by the Nazis but weaned from the dark side by paranormal expert John Hurt, joins a team fighting present-day fascist sorcery. Classy hocus pocus.

THE TERMINAL (12A): Eastern European everyman Tom Hanks is trapped in JFK's transit lounge, unable to enter or leave America. Being a Steven Spielberg film, this doesn't stop him finding love. A classy confection.

THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK (15): The presence of Dame Judi Dench, as an ethereal being who anoints bad apple Vin Diesel as a champion to fight the nice-as-they-sound Necromongers, is probably the least unlikely aspect of this credulity-straining action romp.

DODGEBALL - A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY (12A): Menaced by slimeball tycoon White Goodman (Ben Stiller), small-time gym owner Peter LaFleur (Vince Vaughn) recruits a team of his lardy members to compete in a big-money dodgeball contest. OTT lampoon of sports movie cliches.

THE VILLAGE (12A): In a remote US hamlet in 1897, rash young Joaquin Phoenix provokes the malevolent beasties of the forest. Who can save the villagers now? Classy and spooky..

I, ROBOT (12A): It's 2035 and the future is not looking so bright. Thank goodness there are still maverick detectives like Dr Spooner (Will Smith) to sniff out the conspiracy when robots turn against humanity. Slick and speedy thrills and spills.

GARFIELD: THE MOVIE (U): A celluloid outing for the corpulent cartoon cat, voiced brilliantly by the ever-droll Bill Murray.

CINEWORLD WEDNESDAY SPECIAL: WONDEROUS OBLIVION (PG): Coming-of-age comedy drama about a Jewish lad who befriends his new, cricket-mad Jamaican neighbours in 1960s London.

CINEWORLD MONDAY CLASSIC: girl with a pearl earring (12A): Scarlet Johanssen and Colin Firth star in this beautifully filmed tale of the painter Vermeer and his obsession with a servant girl who inspired one of his most famous pictures.

CINEWORLD MOVIES FOR JUNIORS (SATURDAYS, 10AM): HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN (PG): Black magic from director Alfonso Cuaron (Y Tu Mama Tambien) makes for the best Potter film yet, as Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) squares up to the sinister Sirius Black (Gary Oldman).

NEW YORK MINUTE (PG): The Olsen twins visit The Big Apple, get kidnapped and meet boys. Predictable teen fun.

TWO BROTHERS (U): Tiger cubs are separated at birth and live very different lives until they are reunited. Beautifully filmed delight for the kids.
