Churchill, Romola and Stephen. Remember Romola Garai from the latest Emma and the young girl in Atonement? She has just made a film with Stephen Poliakoff – a mystery thriller – Glorious 39 which promises to be next in line of exciting British films released in the last year. A fan, already I predict Romola will be the next Keira Knightley. Interestingly she has had no formal dramatic training....

This is an enjoyable conspiracy thriller in the manner of John Frankenheimer's Seven Days in May , starring the fetching Romola Garai as Anne, politically naive movie star and adopted daughter of a rich Tory MP with a country estate in Norfolk, who, in the long hot summer of 1939, stumbles across an establishment plot involving the SIS and the aristocracy. They'll stop at nothing, including blackmail...

It's ironic that Steven Soderbergh's new film should be called The Informant!, given that the director's primary tactic is to keep the audience as ill-informed as possible.

2012: Box Office Armageddon In the US : Roland Emmerich's fetishist disaster movie 2012 explodes into the chart at #1 with an impressive $65m (that's $19,000 at every cinema it was screening at), so looks on course to earn back its $200m budget... and festival darling PRECIOUS debuts at #3, and will likely drift downwards... also, PIRATE RADIO (aka The Boat That Rocked) proved to be a hopeless flop...

British period pieces are regularly mocked as pretty pieces of cinema devoid of real bite. But you couldn't call Stephen Poliakoff's first film for more than a decade, Glorious 39, namby-pamby

How does Stephen Poliakoff get away with this stuff? Glorious 39 begins, in mildly intriguing fashion, in the run-up to the Second World War, positing an appeasement conspiracy cooked up by a bunch of toffs who believe Britain hasn't a chance against Hitler.

Stephen Poliakoff returns to the cinema after a 10-year absence and, by jingo, he appears to have secured the ghost of John Buchan to be his chaperone. Glorious 39 is a ripping, old-school conspiracy thriller, played out in the fraught run-up to the second world war. It gives us dotty aunts and dodgy spies, showbiz starlets and imperilled young firebrands. There are secret documents in the outhouse...

Today was a gloriously spring like day here in London, and the minute I walked out the door, I passed Emma. I really really hope she didn't lose my card: Emma if you're reading this please get in touch! - because I didn't source anything, ask where she's from, what she does... nothing. I noticed her eyes first thing. She said she always does them like this. It's a stunning effect and I swear to
