Jet Li's Fearless (Huo Yuan Jia)

The true story of the Chinese martial arts master, Huo Yuan Jia. The founder of the Jin Wu Sports Federation.

Yeah, we know. Another Jet Li film. But we like him, okay?? Jet Li stars in this true story of the most famous fighter in all of China at the turn of the 20th century. Spectacular fight scenes and an absorbing story that highlights how the West affected the Chinese culture when it ploughed into China. Brilliantly acted with some very emotional scenes and amazing set pieces. This is a great film, despite the horrible haircuts! Humour aside, we highly recommend this film.

How to Lose Friends & Alienate People

A British writer, Sidney Young (Simon Pegg) struggles to fit into life at a top notch magazine in New York.

Do we really need another movie that tells us that all people in showbiz and the media are transparent, shallow, youth-obsessed slimeballs? We think not. As per usual with this kind of movie, all the best bits are in the trailer. We giggled - twice. It really wasn't that funny and just turned out to be a run of the mill romcom with a cliche ending. The movie is based on Toby Young's memoirs and to be honest it made us embarrassed to be Brits. And other thing. In our opinion Simon Pegg (of Run Fat Boy Run fame) cannot hold his own in a movie without his hilarious sidekick Nick Frost. See Hot Fuzz and Shaun Of The Dead if you don't believe us.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Alex O'Connell (Luke Ford) the son of mummy fighters Rick (Brendan Fraser) and Evy (Maria Bello) O'Connell unearth the first Emperor of Qin with disasterous results.

You can't take a film like this seriously and you can't compare it to any other, because this is not what the film is about. It is simply a good 'ol family movie with great stunts. But we have to take issue with two things. Firstly, Rachel Weisz isn't in it and we missed her quirky take on the character. Maria Bello didn't bring anything to the movie. Secondly, c'mon now you casting people, are you serious? You cast Luke Ford as Brendan Fraser's son when in real life Luke is only thirteen years younger. The first thing we said when the movie started was that he looked way too old to play the son and that was a little distracting.

The Forbidden Kingdom

After getting knocked out during a fight, a Kung Fu obsessed American teenager Jason Tripitikas (Michael Angarano) wakes up in ancient China where he meets Lu Yan (Jackie Chan) and sets about freeing the Monkey King (Jet Li).

The Forbidden Kingdom unites two of the most well known Kung Fu masters in an epic trip across China. More Hollywood family fun than martial arts masterpiece this movie knew wanted it wanted to be. But it's a shame it didn't go down the Crouching Tiger or House of Flying Daggers route because it would have been amazing. Oh, and by the way, after spending five minutes in China, Jason miraculously grew a ponytail...how?

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Famed archaeologist Dr Henry "Indiana" Jones is called back into action when he becomes entangled in a Soviet plot to uncover the secret behind the Crystal Skulls.

Rewind to 1981 when Indiana Jones burst onto the cinema screens and blew the cobwebs out of the movie business. Fast forward to 2008 and "Indy" is back. The movie business has moved on but Indiana Jones hasn't. BUT that isn't a bad thing because Indiana Jones has everything we've come to know and love from this movie franchise. Creepy crawlies, plunging waterfalls, death defying action scenes that are so ludicrous and yet so much fun to watch we don't care. Okay, there's perhaps too much CGI and the storyline is flimsy but we can't help but marvel at the intricate openings to doors and caves and the way Indiana drops over monumental waterfalls and still manages to keep his hat on. This movie is fast paced action and good, clean family fun. And when Indy's fedora blows to the feet of his son "Mutt" (played by Shia LeBeouf) we wonder if he will take up the mantle. We hope so.

Get Smart

Analyst Maxwell Smart dreams of becoming an agent for top secret organization CONTROL. When CONTROL is attacked by its nemesis KAOS and some of its agents are compromised, Smart is promoted to Agent 86 with a reluctant partner Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway) and they set out to thwart KAOS plans for world domination.

We expect Steve Carell's 'Maxwell Smart' to be a hapless character. A loser who get's everything wrong. But he isn't. He's smart. Really smart. And, apart from a really good storyline, that is what makes this film so good. We laughed out loud and we want to see it again and that means for Saturday Night Bright - it's a great movie.
