Gerard butler and Idris Elba in RocknRolla, out this week
RocknRolla, Bangkok Dangerous and The Duchess in this week's biggest film releases.
Celebrity marriage, controversial adoptions and critical drubbings be damned, Guy Ritchie's giving movie making another crack and with
RocknRolla, it's a triumphant return.
One Two (Butler) and Mumbles (Idris Elba), leading members of London low-life syndicate the Wild Bunch, manage to recover the money they owe to Old School mob boss Lenny Cole (Wilkinson), thanks to the crafty dealings of good-girl-gone-bad Stella (Newton). But soon the pair find themselves embroiled in the clash between Lenny and Russian oligarch Uri (Karel Roden), with the latter decidedly unhappy at the theft of his beloved painting – but what does RocknRolla and smack addict Johnny Quid (Kebbell) have to do with it?

Holder of probably the worst poster in movie history,
Bangkok Dangerous comes to the screen this week, with Nicolas Cage sporting an horrific mullet.
While in Bangkok to carry out a hit, assassin Joe (Cage) falls for a local girl while forming an unlikely partnership with an errand boy. Honestly.
They don't make 'em like this anymore…
Unfortunately, they do - somehow - still make films like
Disaster Movie, also released this week.
From the people behind the Scary, Epic and Date Movie abominations comes this 'comedy' look at the disaster genre - take a look below and then have a cold shower to cleanse yourself of this crime against humanity.
And finally, with an ill-advised advertising campaign in tow,
The Duchess sees Keira Knightley as an 18th century aristocrat who comes under scrutiny for her extravagant life - just like Princess Diana, yes. A fact the distributors have not failed to notice with their distasteful promotional material.
