This week's releases
Alpha Papa: One of the funniest TV characters of all-time is returning and this time to the big screen. Steve Coogan is back as Alan Partridge whose pursuit of TV and radio stardom is still alive and kicking. But here he becomes the unlikely hero as he tries to save North Norfolk Digital Radio and his own reputation as a hostage situation ensues.
Lone Ranger: Johnny Depp only seems interested in roles where he can dress up in bohemian fashion and wear excessive makeup, from Pirates of the Caribbean to being the Lone Ranger. Surprisingly its the same team that was behind the aforementioned Pirates of the Caribbean but I think the audience is going to grow tired of this franchise much sooner.
Grown-Ups 2: The first thing that strikes me about Adam Sandler's sequel is that it must have been a lot of fun to make, but then its the same with all Sandler's films. He turns up has a great time making it, siphons off a boatload of cash and then also cleans up at the box office (until recently), all without worrying about whether anyone actually likes it. I would normally describe the plot here but from the trailer and previews I can't honestly find one.
Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters: Lavish CGI action for kids and teens here as Percy and his gang have to journey to the sea of monsters as they are attacked by an ancient evil so that they can find the golden fleece. A rather understated cast but a reasonably big budget and extensive marketing campaign must mean someone has high hopes for this.
