You've been Trumped
Anthony Baxter - Starring: Donald Trump, a bunch of ordinary folk

You've been Trumped is a riveting spectacle: a documentary front seat as Donald Trump bullies and manipulates his was into creating a golf course – inevitably it will be 'the world's greatest golf course” – on one of Scotland's last unspoiled wilderness dunes, land prized both ecologically and scientifically.
It's a David and Goliath struggle as a handful farmers and home owners who have lived on the land for decades and generations find their properties will possibly be subject to Compulsory Purchase Orders and that their coast, once the preserve of everyone, is about to become a playground for only the very wealthy.
What follows is an uneven struggle and Trump, his flat expression, awful hair and dead eyes appearing like a relentless devouring great white shark, is obviously unconcerned at how his actions – from outright lies to the grossest of insults about those who stand in his way – will affect his reputation. His company's approach is equally ruthless and the clearly complicit nature of the local police force is alarming.
I wouldn't normally quote another review but I'll make an exception. The Toronto Star calls it 'a shattering chronicle of greed, hubris and stupidity.” And I really can't think of any better way to put it.
Warning: This documentary might put you off watching The Apprentice forever as catching sight of The Donald will probably produce uncontrollable nausea.

In the aptly-named isolated mountain town of Cold Rock, Bad Things are happening. Children are being taken and locals blame it on The Tall Man. Jessica Biel is the widowed town nurse with a young troubled boy and it's not hard to guess – especially after the prologue – that mother and son will soon be in jeopardy. But the plot takes several unexpected turns. Nothing, it seems, is what it seems, and the film keeps you guessing for a big part of its running time. This is richly atmospheric, particularly in its depiction of the rundown community, and it's good to be genuinely surprised by a story, even if the final act lurches a little.

While Moneyball championed a cash-strapped baseball franchise that pioneered the use of statistics over old-fashioned traditional wisdom and gut instinct, Trouble with the Curve bats for the other team. Clint Eastwood's Gus is an ageing scout for the Atlanta Braves. The game – as we're told – has changed and Gus, the only man not using modern technology, has one last scouting trip to prove he's not over the hill. Accompanied by his estranged daughter (Amy Adams) and rival scout/love interest Justin Timberlake, Clint seems effortlessly at home as the ornery old battler, eyesight failing but refusing to go quietly and slowly bonding with his bruised daughter. There's also quite a lot of baseball.

The South Korean film industry has been doing great things in recent years and The Thieves is pretty good. It's a casino heist thriller, bringing to mind Ocean's Eleven with its slick looks and ingenious planning. It has action, smarts and general clever stuff happening. But, what with double-crossing occurring every few minutes, it does get a bit confusing, not helped by the fact that a considerable amount of humour apparently derives from differences between the Korean and Chinese languages, subtleties that get completely lost in the subtitles. Fun, but not one for the ages.

Kill For Me is a low-rent direct-to-DVD thriller with few distinguishing features. It begins when college student Amanda looks for a new flatmate after the disappearance of flatting buddy Natalie. Amanda has an abusive ex-boyfriend and quickly bonds with new arrival Hailey who has a similarly nasty father. But when the ex shows up and starts threatening the girls, violence soon ensues, followed by a series of twists and a general ramping up of tension. Sadly, the twists are predictable and the suspense fails to grip. Bland.
