The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Director: Marc Webb
Cast: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx
Genre: Superhero Adventure
Plot: The reboot returns, and this time there's a brand new villain courtesy of Electro (Jamie Foxx). Throw in a new Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), supporting villain The Rhino (Paul Giamatti) and all the flirty banter we loved in the original and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is on the right track.

Locke
Director: Steven Knight
Cast: Tom Hardy, Tom Holland, Olivia Colman, Andrew Scott, Ruth Wilson
Genre: Drama
Plot: A one-man show starring Tom Hardy isn’t exactly a hard sell, and this taut road movie looks set to seriously thrill. Set almost entirely in a car, we follow Ivan Locke (Hardy) as he embarks on a trip from Birmingham to London but runs into a fair few obstacles on the way. Part Buried, part Drive, said we after catching it at Sundance. http://www.totalfilm.com/news/sundance-2014-locke-reaction

Transcendence
Director: Wally Pfister
Cast: Johnny Depp, Morgan Freeman, Kate Mara, Rebecca Hall, Cillian Murphy, Paul Bettany
Genre: Sci-Fi Thriller
Plot: Acclaimed cinematographer and Christopher Nolan collaborator Pfister's directorial debut isn't going down the easy route. The all-star cast are attached to a head-scratching plot that follows Depp's scientist, whose consciousness is uploaded into a computer before he's killed by anti-technology terrorists. Intriguing.

The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence)
Director: Tom Six
Cast: Eric Roberts
Genre: Body Horror
Plot: Aiming to deliver on the stomach-churning set-up from the first two movies, Tom Six returns to his weird and bonkers body horror universe in which people are stitched mouth-to-anus because… erm… we're still not entirely sure of the motivation. Anyway, this time around Oscar-nominated actor Eric Roberts is inexplicably on-board for a tale that is said to include a 500 person Human Centipede. Delightful.
