Review: The A Team
For the first half its harmless fun, in particular the montage of the team coming together is an OTT joy. When they get into the meat of the plot though it all falls apart sadly, ending up just as an explosive-filled mess.
A sequel seems unlikely unless they switch to Plan B and drop the budget to match the disappointing box office so far.

Review: The Coca Cola Case
Disappointing Documentary the chronicles attempts to sue the Coca Cola Corporation for Human Rights violations in Columbian bottling plants. The lack of narration or any on screen graphics to pull the story together just means it ends up a hotch potch of footage jumping between North and South America that leaves the viewer confused and lost as to who is who and what they are accused or accusing people of.
For those wanting to find more about the allegations, they are much better off looking elsewhere and should really track down a copy of Mark Thomas; Dispatches Documentary a few years back or a copy of his book Belching Out The Devil

Review: Cop Out
Its not as bad as many of the reviews would have you believe, its just pretty average but perfectly watchable stuff for 90 mins. Tracy Morgan has the best lines, but you'd be better off with a 30 Rock boxset for a tenner a better example of his comic skills.

Review: Get Him To The Greek
This could have been a car crash of epic proportions, with Russell Brand and the Frat Pack getting to run wild wild their already slightly dubious and leery comedy - however Get Him To The Greek is surprisingly one of the better recent comedy coming from the Apatow stable with plenty of laughs that don't just rely on tits and drugs.
The songs are the weakest point of film and stop it from becoming anything near a classic like This Is Spinal Tap, but it definitely works a vehicle that shows Brand has Hollywood star power.
