Ben-Hur
- 2016
- US
- 123 min
- 12A
- Directed by: Timur Bekmambetov
- Cast: Jack Huston, Morgan Freeman, Toby Kebbell, Nazanin Boniadi
Judah Ben-Hur (Huston) is a wronged nobleman who does a lot of stuff but chiefly races in a chariot against adopted brother Messala (Kebbell). Forgettable and largely pointless remake of the 1959 classic, heavy on the action but light on plot, characterisation or entertainment.

The Boss
- 2016
- US
- 98 min
- 15
- Directed by: Ben Falcone
- Written by: Ben Falcone, Steve Mallory, Melissa McCarthy
- Cast: Melissa McCarthy, Peter Dinklage, Kristen Bell
Michelle (McCarthy) is a strident businesswoman jailed for insider trading, who after her release forces herself into the life of former PA Claire (Bell). It starts well and McCarthy is clearly game for humiliating physical comedy, but the plot becomes routine and in the end it’s a raucous, proficient but forgettable comedy.

Bridget Jones's Baby
- 2016
- UK
- 123 min
- 15
- Directed by: Sharon Maguire
- Cast: Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth, Patrick Dempsey
Bridget (Zellweger) is back, and pregnant, either by handsome American Jack (Dempsey) or Mark (Firth), the ex she never got over. Cue babymaking shenanigans. Bridget's fretting about being a 'spinster' comes across as self-hatred, and the men don't deserve the poor treatment she gives them. Not cute, not charming; just awful.

- Directed by: Noel Clarke
- Written by: Noel Clarke
- Cast: Noel Clarke, Ashley Thomas, Olivia Chenery
Sam (Clarke) is settled with a wife and baby, and is working two jobs to pay the bills, when his violent past comes back to, yes, haunt him. The final part of Clarke's trilogy has gripping momentum, some astute casting and a more mature attitude towards women, despite a silly honey trap narrative.

Deepwater Horizon
- 2016
- US
- 108 min
- 12A
- Directed by: Peter Berg
- Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Kurt Russell, Gina Rodriguez, John Malkovich
The real-life tale of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, in which an oil rig explosion killed eleven men and caused the largest oil spill in American history. Berg touches on issues of corporate negligence and recklessness, but the real focus is on the courage of individuals such as Wahlberg's blue collar engineer. A solid nailbiter.

- 15
- Directed by: Brad Furman
- Cast: Bryan Cranston, John Leguizamo, Diane Kruger
Robert Mazur (Cranston) is a US Customs official who goes undercover to infiltrate the drug cartels and take down the notorious Pablo Escobar. Every cliché of the genre is present, from the resentful wife (Aubrey) to the impulsive assassinations, but Cranston is consistently sympathetic and Furman delivers the occasional sharp jab.

- PG
- Directed by: Travis Knight
- Cast: Art Parkinson, Matthew McConaughey, Charlize Theron, Rooney Mara, Ralph Fiennes, Brenda Vaccaro, George Takei
One-eyed origami expert Kubo (Parkinson) joins forces with no-nonsense Monkey (Theron) and goofy human/insect warrior Beetle (McConaughey) on a quest to defeat the Moon King (Fiennes). Breathtakingly beautiful stop-motion animation, maybe too scary for young kids, but with plenty of humour, fine voice performances and a story full of heart.

Sam Chisolm (Washington) is a bounty hunter tasked with ridding Rosewater Creek of evil prospector Bogue (Sarsgaard) and his goons, so he recruits the titular seven-minus-one. Unsubtle remake of the 1960 original; the stunt work may have improved but it's all a bit empty
