**I've got my Orange Wednesday code, I'm ready to go – what should I see tonight? That depends. Do you like your Elizabeth Olsen as a damsel in distress or a sexually-confident murderer?
**
Erm what? Well, the clever clogs has got *two *of her films in the cinema ATM. Godzilla and In Secret.
**Cool! Love her! What's In Secret? **It's based on an Emile Zola novel that’s set in 1860s in Paris. It's about a girl called Therese, who's forced to marry her sickly cousin, Camille, which is something she really doesn't want to do but, this being the 19th century, she's not got much choice. The problem is, Camille's not all that into sex and Therese is really keen to get going in that area. She’s terribly frustrated until Camille’s old friend, Laurent, steps into the picture. He’s terribly dashing, and he’s an artist, which we all know is fictional code for 'good in bed'.
Definitely. So what happens? Therese and Laurent do have an affair and there’s some *very *sexy sex scenes, but when the lying and the cheating gets too much, the young lovers make a fatal decision that changes their lives forever.
Intruiging... Well, if you'd read the book at university, like you were supposed to, you'd know what happens.
**Just as well I didn't then. Is it any good? **It's not our fave Liz Olsen flick, but it's definitely got its merits. Tom Felton being one of them. You might remember him as Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter, but he's positively unrecognisable in In Secret as the simpering, sickly Camille. Also excellent? Jessica Lange as Camille's iromn-fisted mother. There are some very tense and enjoyable scenes, while Laurent and Therese are having their affair. But, ultimately, the film falls apart a bit as soon as the relationship between them starts to falter.
So Godzilla then. Bit different? Just a tad. In Godzilla, Elizabeth Olsen is a nurse and married to Aaron Taylor-Johnson and the two live in San Francisco with their lovely son. Unfortunately for their happy family set up, though, Ford's (Taylor Johnson) father – played by Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston – is convinced that the Japanese and American governments are hiding something that poses a massive threat to humankind. Of course, everyone thinks he's crazy until it's too late.
**It's Godzilla, right? They're hiding Godzilla. **Well, yes, and some other things that are potentially even more dangerous than the giant lizard. Either way, it's not looking good for Planet Earth.
Who else is in it? Oh, like, everyone. Juliette Binoche pops her head in, Sally Hawkins is brilliant as the bumbling scientist who's been researching the monsters alongside Ken Watanabe, who plays her boss who's the one that really 'gets' Godzilla.
**And is it any good? **Oh yes. Like any summer blockbuster with giant creatures attacking the earth, this film is best viewed on the biggest screen you can possibly find. If you can afford the extra quid for IMAX we'd highly recommend it. Don't be put off by the whole disaster movie thing, though – this film's got a heart, relationships you believe in and it invests in the plots and storylines of the characters that the story revolves around. Even Godzilla. Especially Godzilla actually. Who you actually start to like after a while. Go and see it with a big crowd of mates and have a bloody good time. **
