New releases in UK cinemas Why not grab your buds, pop some popcorn and head to the cinema this weekend for some brand new releases? Struggling for inspiration? Baffled by the blockbusters? No worries - we've got five simple suggestions to aid your weekend cinema experience. Black Nativity Based on the play by American poet Langston Hughes, Forrest Whitaker and Angela Bassett star in this all-singing Christmas movie. The story follows a street-wise teen who reluctantly travels to New York to spend the holidays with his religious grandparents. No bearded men in red suits in this one - Black Nativity refocuses Christmas values on the importance of family and forgiveness. Homefront Jason Statham expands his cinematic horizons (cough) in this American action drama. We jest - the man does action and he does it well. In this one he's playing an ex-DEA agent who moves to Louisiana's backwoods to take care of his daughter. Punching and kicking ensues when Statham runs into a meth operation run by James Franco. If that wasn't enough for action fans, the screenplay is by Sylvester Stallone. Job done. Kill Your Darlings Star of the Harry Potter saga Daniel Radcliffe and Dane DeHaan (Chronicle) star in this gritty new release based on the friendship between Beat icons Allen Ginsberg and Lucien Carr. Radcliffe gives a stunning performance proving he's not just a one-trick wizard. Oldboy This one is definitely not for the squeamish. A remake of the stomach-churning South Korean cult movie released in 2003, Oldboy follows a man held in captivity for 15 years. We don't know who, we don't know why - we only know that he's out for revenge. Frozen Gory torture not your bag? No problem - Frozen will whisk you away to the fairytale world of Arendelle, a land under the spell of perpetual winter. Heroine of the story Anna sets of to rescue her home town joined by mountain man Kristoff and a talking snowman named Olaf. Despite the chilly title this one will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy.
