Сватбен обет / The Vow - Though it doesn't steer significantly away from your typical Valentine's Day movie, The Vow at least has the decency to not underestimate its viewers. It's still a predictable film but with a heart and two likeable and giving their best leads in the face of Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams. Of course, if you don't stand romantic movies and Channing is the symbol of wooden acting for you, The Vow will not make you change your mind. On the other hand, if you've been appalled by recent garbage such as Valentine's Day and How Do You Know, The Vow will probably restore your faith that Hollywood is still capable to represent a good romance now and again.

Боен кон / War Horse - All who hate director Steven Spielberg may be now green with envy, but his latest masterpiece has just come around the corner, or, should I say, galloped its way to the cinemas. Just some three months after the magnificent Tintin (and its box office disaster in Bulgaria), the greatest living director (TM) delivers a movie so epic in scope, so reminiscent of the golden Hollywood age, that only Spielberg could actually dare to do and eventually succeed in his undertaking. Unlike Saving Private Ryan, War Horse is a movie focusing on optimism and warmth, showing that war, as ugly as it is, can still preserve humanity in those most affected by it. But it's not only the war scenes which strike in the movie (the no man's land episode and the tank scene are heartbreaking) but the peaceful scenes in UK's countryside are also masterfully crafted, full with drama and humour. The numerous young cast is meticulously selected, while the camerawork of Janusz Kaminski and the music of legend John Williams just ensure that War Horse will be long remembered. Just don't forget your handkerchiefs. (Forum Film) *****

Пътешествие до тайнствения остров / Journey 2 The Mysterious Island - Although many will hardly remember the 2008 flick Journey To The Centre of The Earth, the movie, albeit unremarkable, put the beginning of the new era of 3D feature films. Now, here comes the inevitable sequel, which more or less delivers the same. It will once again appal all Vernians, if there are any in Bulgaria, but it will be a perfect weekend getaway for many families, especially on the IMAX screen. Apart from the little ones, The Mysterious Island will be also loved by all Dwayne Johnson fans (we know, there are many on these shores), as his Rockness comes in to fill the steps of Brendan Fraser. Sir Michael Caine is also added to the mix, bringing the best in the movie, i.e. his interplay with the Rock character. The effects are top notch perfect, while some action pieces on the island are terrific. Unfortunately the plot is too derivative, while the characters of Luis Guzmán and his daughter Vanessa Hudgens are annoying, to say the least. (Alexandra) ***
Лопе де Вега - разпътник и съблазнител / Lope (Spain) (Limited) - This story of the early years of dramatist Lope De Vega may be interesting plot-wise, but the movie does little to engage the audience. At places it drags for far too long and the problems with acting do not help either. Still, all who crave for European cinema should seek it. ** (Pro Films)
Мед / Honey aka Bal (Turkey) (Limited) - See the last sentence above... (Art Fest)
