Chalet Girl

Tonight I have been to see Chalet Girl.

Felicity Jones overcomes all odds, both on and off the slopes, in this icy rom-com.

Felicity Jones plays Kim, a girl whose dreams of becoming a champion skateboarder are thwarted after the death of her mum. Depressed by her job in a burger bar and struggling to make ends meet, she accepts a well-paid position as a chalet girl at a ski resort. From the very beginning Kim is totally out of her depth among her wealthy employers and can't even stay upright on a set of skis. Only the boss's son Jonny (Ed Westwick) sweetens the deal. That is until she gets back on her board - only this time it's a snowboard - and finds her old thirst for competition coming back full throttle. Will this give her the strength to tackle Jonny's snooty girlfriend Chloe (Sophia Bush) head-on, as well as the end-of-season snowboarding trials? 

Limitless

Tonight I have been to see Limitless.

If you could unlock the full potential of your mind, what kind of wonders - and dangers - would await?

This is something that Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) is about to discover. Eddie is a slacker, a former cocaine addict, and an author who has failed to write a single word of his novel. But when he is introduced to a mind-expanding drug, his brain starts to function at the full 100 per cent, enabling him to write his novel, learn new languages at lightspeed, and master the complexities of Wall Street. Of course, a man with these skills is going to draw attention from some powerful characters. Robert De Niro plays the marvelously named Carl Van Loon, a tyrannical businessman who wants to use Eddie for his own purposes, and will baulk at nothing to bend him to his will.

When such powerful forces are ranged against you, is great intelligence enough to save yourself and the ones you love?

Unknown

Tonight I have been to see Unknown.

Imagine you've woken from a coma to find that another man has stolen your identity so thoroughly that even your wife doesn't recognise you.

That's the reality facing Dr Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) in the action thriller Unknown. After a car accident in Berlin, Martin lapses into a coma. On awakening, he finds himself alone, exhausted and on the run from mysterious assassins. His wife doesn't believe what he says, and the authorities are backing the man who claims to be him. His only ally is a secretive woman (Diane Kruger), who warns him to trust no one. As Harris is pulled further into the deadly mystery, he is forced to question his own sanity, and to wonder just how far he will go to uncover the truth.

With Neeson an action star after the success of Taken and director Collet-Serra hot from Orphan, this fascinating thriller is elevated to the ranks of must-see.

Hall Pass

Tonight I have been to see Hall Pass.

Two best pals are granted a whole week off from marital responsibilities in the Farrelly brothers' latest comedy.

Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis) have been best buddies for years. Both are, to all appearances, happily married, but privately they're frustrated with their lot in life. Sensing Rick and Fred's 'grass is greener' attitude, their wives (Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate) decide to grant them each a "hall pass" - one week of freedom where they can do exactly as they please without any consequences. The ladies are confident that the guys will quickly realise that even though there's plenty of totty available, none of it is interested in them. And they're right - it doesn't take long for the sheen to rub off single life, but the boys are determined to make it work for the sake of men on hall passes everywhere...

This afternoon at Cineworld in Llandudno I have been to see Yogi Bear

Yogi and Boo Boo must join forces with their amiable nemesis Ranger Smith to find a way to save the park, but can the Ranger keep his eye on the prize with pretty documentary filmmaker Rachel (Anna Faris) around to distract him? And can Yogi and Boo Boo curb their greedy urges - and put aside their haphazard plans to steal visitors' lunches - to save the only home they've ever known? Let's hope that, this time, Yogi really is smarter than the average bear!

Following the murder of her beloved father, 14-year-old farm girl Mattie Ross hires the grizzled Marshall Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn (Jeff Bridges) to hunt down the killer - the infamous 'gun for hire' Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin).
