Simon Morris welcomes the appearance of some familiar faces this week in movies that depend on some reliable acting performances. The Personal History of David Copperfield is a non-traditionally cast version of the Dickens classic. Stars Dev Patel, Tilda Swinton, Peter Capaldi, Hugh Laurie and many more. Directed by Armando Ianucci (Death of Stalin). The King of Staten Island stars the latest graduate of TV series Saturday Night Live, Pete Davidson. Directed by Judd Apatow (40 year old virgin), it features Marisa Tomei (Spiderman) and Bel Powley (A Royal night out). And the story of Nobel Prize winning physicist and chemist Marie Curie, Radioactive, stars Rosamund Pike (Gone girl) and Sam Riley (Control).
