New Films out in Cinemas (Released Feb 6, 2014)

Watch Robert Redford float adrift in the ocean in All is Lost or warm your heart with Kim Mordaunt's The Rocket, set in Laos. Also, we think Joaquin Phoenix falling in love with the voice of Scarlett Johansson in Spike Jonze's Her (read our review here) should set you up nicely for Valentine's Day.
