Quotation Quiz:

“Off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush” ... probably quite easy but that quote came from which film? The answer is at the bottom of the page.

Our feature presentation:

"Shooter" is released on 13 April, starring Mark Wahlberg. He plays Bob Swagger, a retired army sharpshooter betrayed by his commanders on a black op in Ethiopia, then called back into the fold to stop an assassin from sniping the President. Unfortunately though, Swagger is framed as a patsy and goes on the run.

It may be a boy's toy action flick - sniper rifles, DIY field surgery, helicopter gunships - but Shooter is not entirely mindless. It refuses to let its non-stop, close quarters rough stuff get in the way of acerbic political cynicism, but it still has the rookie FBI agent this time played by Michael Peña believing every word of Swagger's conspiracy theory, and Kate Mara as the love interest.

It's no masterpiece, but it's way better than the usual big gun fare.

Forthcoming attractions:

To be released in the coming weeks we have "Magicians" out on Friday 18th May. This is a Brit comedy about two rival conjurors whose estrangement springs from an unfortunate guillotine mishap. The cast includes Robert Webb, David Mitchell, Jessica Stevenson and Peter Capaldi.

Then on Thursday 24th May there’s "Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End". It's all aboard as Will, Elizabeth and Captain Barbossa sail off the map to save Cap'n Jack.

Friday 22nd June sees the release of "The Hitcher". The 1987 stalker horror hits the road again with Sean Bean instead of Rutger Hauer as the hitchhiker from hell.

And on Friday 29th June there’s "Shrek The Third". Justin Timberlake joins the mighty franchise as the heir to kingdom of Far, Far Away. Wonder if he gets to sing as well?

Jodie Foster and Abigail Breslin are headed for "Nim's Island". It's an adventure yarn based on a book by Wendy Orr and Kerry Millard. Breslin will play a young girl left alone on an isolated island in the South Pacific when her scientist dad is lost at sea. She communicates electronically with someone she thinks is a character from a book but is in fact a reclusive author.

Steven Spielberg has snapped up Ray Winstone for a starring role in the forthcoming "Indiana Jones 4". The plot is still a secret, but The Hollywood Reporter claims that Winstone will be playing some sort of sidekick to our whipcracking hero. Cate Blanchett has already signed up.

Martin Scorsese will direct Leonardo DiCaprio in "The Wolf Of Wall Street". It's a thriller to be based on an upcoming autobiography by stockbroker Jordan Belfort. DiCaprio will play Belfort who served time in prison for refusing to cooperate in a massive securities fraud case in the 90s. It involved widespread corruption on Wall Street and New York's corporate banking world, including mob infiltration.

And talking of Mr Di Caprio, he and Kate Winslet will reunite for "Revolutionary Road". Sam Mendes will direct this adaptation of Richard Yates' acclaimed 1961 novel about the frustrations of a suburban couple in post-war USA.
