Co-directed by Shinji Higuchi (last year’s Attack on Titan) and Hideaki Anno, the man behind seminal 90s anime Neon Genesis Evangelion – a giant monster series whatever the metaphors – Shin Godzilla ought to have been in good hands. The first such film in 12 years from the studio originally behind the ‘king of monsters’, the movie begins with a leak in the Aqua-Line tunnel, which runs beneath Tokyo Bay, and a massive spot of blood red water boiling on the surface. From there, things quickly escalate with gradually more revealing shots of the eponymous monster as it moves from water to land. In theatre on March 9th.

Engaging scenic tale of a lovelorn, starry-eyed mediterranean postman. In theatre from March 16th.

If the result proves hard to dismiss completely, it’s largely down to Butterfield – his performance is sweet, committed and charmingly ungainly. But his thoughtful, resonant turn is marooned in a sea of crude overacting, dire, distracting pop tunes and cloth-eared dialogue (Oldman actually yells, ‘You had one job!’). In theatre from 16th March.

Directed by Nabuhiro Ymashita, Over the Fence is a contemporary Japanese drama based on the short story Ogon no Fuku by Yasushi Sato. The lead character Shiraiwa (played by Joe Odagiri), who is recently divorced, heads back to his hometown of Hakodate to enroll in a vocational school for carpentry. While living a rather mundane life there, Shiraiwa visits a local hostess bar with a classmate. When he meets Satoshi, an eccentric hostess, his plain life finally begins to take color. In theatre on March 16th.

In this live-action re-imagining of the fairy tale, a young woman (Emma Watson) takes her father's place as prisoner in a beast's castle, only to fall in love with her beastly captor (Dan Stevens), who turns out to be a prince. In theatre on March 16th.

 The subject which the film mainly deals with is 'love.' What is particularly interesting in this regard is that the film has the power to make the subject a rather tempting pursuit, while it does a great job in drawing out love’s misery, that is. In theatre from 23rd March.
