This week's releases

The Book Thief: Based on the popular novel, during the horrors of World War Two Germany we see young Liesel (Sophie Nélisse) steal books and share them with others. Whilst at home they have a Jewish refugee seeking refuge from the Nazi's. Naturally no-one speaks German despite the obvious setting although the Nazi officers speak German to each other, not the first film to work in this hugely odd manner with language.

Non-Stop: Hot off the success of Taken and the not so popular Taken 2, Liam Neeson returns into action as Bill Marks who is an air marshal on a flight that is at risk unless the airline transfers $150 million to an off-shore bank account. So naturally only one man can save the passengers and stop the evil guys from escaping with the money.

Ride Along: Fast-talking security guard Ben (Kevin Hart) joins his cop brother-in-law James (Ice Cube) on a 24-hour patrol of Atlanta in order to prove himself worthy of marrying Angela, James' sister. Very much a comedy version of the film Training Day.
