From the superheroes of X-Men, to metaphysical goats and a thriller featuring Jane Russell, Robert Mitchum and Vincent Price, Francine Stock reviews the best of this week's cinema.

In the Film Programme this week Francine Stock talks to the screenwriter Jane Goldman about the latest X-Men feature; discusses metaphysics and the intractability of goats with Michelangelo Frammartino, the director of the brilliant and mysterious Le Quattro Volte; and shares in the author and critic Kim Newman's enthusiasm for a comedy thriller featuring Jane Russell, Robert Mitchum and Vincent Price. There's also a master class in the kind of music that makes an action sequence really fizz from Neil Brand.

Producer: Zahid Warley.
