Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

BLUE STREAK (12, 93 mins)

Director: Les Mayfield

Starring: Martin Lawrence, Luke Wilson

A strutting action-comedy in the Simpson-Bruckheimer vein, Blue Streak turns an indulgent camera on Lawrence's wisecracking jewel- thief. A film with nothing new to say, and a noisy way of saying it.

West End: Odeon Camden Town, Odeon Kensington, Odeon Marble Arch, Odeon Swiss Cottage, Ritzy Cinema, UCI Whiteleys, Virgin Chelsea, Virgin Trocadero, Warner West End And local cinemas

DOGMA (15, 125 mins)

Director: Kevin Smith

Starring: Matt Damon, Ben Affleck

Dogma tackles a sprawling canvas of life, the universe and everything. A slipshod, rollicking, yet sporadically charming comedy.

West End: Clapham Picture House, Notting Hill Coronet, Odeon Camden Town, Odeon Kensington, Odeon Swiss Cottage, Ritzy Cinema, Screen on Baker St, UCI Whiteleys, Virgin Fulham Rd, Virgin Haymarket, Virgin Trocadero, Warner Village West End

And local cinemas

MUPPETS FROM SPACE (U, 88 mins)

Director: Tim Hill

Starring: David Arquette, Andie MacDowell

In which the crooked-beaked Gonzo discovers that he is an alien from outer-space and his Fuzzy Felt cohorts jiggle in time to various musical interludes.

West End: Clapham Picture House, Odeon Camden Town, Odeon Kensington, Odeon Marble Arch, Odeon Swiss Cottage, Ritzy Cinema, UCI Whiteleys, Virgin Chelsea, Virgin Trocadero, Warner Village West End And local cinemas

MYSTERY MEN (PG, 122 mins)

Director: Kinka Usher

Starring: Ben Stiller, William H Macy

When the preening superhero Captain Amazing (Greg Kinnear) is foiled by his arch nemesis (Geoffrey Rush), the Mystery Men - a raggle-taggle troupe of Walter Mitty types - seize their shot at glory. Usher's comic- book spoof ambles merrily on its way, buoyed by bold, primary-coloured design and genial playing.

West End: Empire Leicester Square, Virgin Trocadero And local cinemas
