Forget '70s remake Carrie, lurid '80s tribute act Escape Plan and the inevitable and inevitably disappointing The Fifth Estate. There is a lot more going on in your trailer mash this week than that. To begin with, 12 Years a Slave is artist-turned-arthouse director Steve McQueen's based-on-a-true-story take on American slavery in which the always brilliant Chiwetel Ejiofor is given a range of Hollywood institutions to act against from Brad Pitt to Paul Giamatti. Then there is American Promise, which looks like a riveting documentary about the experiences of two African American kids educated in a predominantly white private school.
