Despicable Me


In a twist on the usual 'mad scientist wants to rule the world' scenario, our 'hero' here is such a mad scientist, who merely wants to steal the moon using a powerful shrinking ray. The problem is that his arch-nemesis currently has the shrinking ray, and so the plans to steal it begin... and fail. Then he sees how three young girls selling cookies are able to get into any house. He adopts them, meaning to use them for his plans, but being a dad brings out a side in him he never knew he had ... This film is releasing in both 2D and 3D, this is the 2D version.

THE KARATE KID

A remake of the 1984 classic, the storyline is virtually identical with a few twists. Our little hero relocates to China with mom, and soon makes a new friend (female) and enemy (male). After nearly getting beaten up, and realising that the little Karate he knows is no match for the bully's Kung Fu, he persuades the school janitor to teach him the Chinese fighting style. As per the original, things culminate in a knock-down tournament.

STEP 3

The latest in the Step Up dance franchise. The storyline matters little and is just a hook to hang the dance moves on, but revolves around a college student in New York who gets drawn into the world of Hip-Hop dance, as he and his new friends compete against another team for glory. There's the usual romantic twists and turns too. Although made in the USA, it does not seem to have been released Stateside yet, but did well in the UK. This is the 2D version, it's also showing in 3D.

SALT

A Russian informer tells his interogator that she is actually an undercover Russian spy, about to kill a visiting President. She disagrees and professes her innocence, but her superiors are not taking any chances. So she has to go on the run to try and clear her name, save the world and get home in time to make supper. The storyline just provides pegs to hang numerous chase and high-scenes on, as Angelina shows James and Jason how things should be done.

Dabangg

Set in two of India's most corrupt states, we follow a (naturally) corrupt policeman as he goes about doing his job in his own way, with little regard to the law. In Bhojpuri and Hindi languages with English subtitles, the movie is curiously tied to Eid.
