Retired, Extremely Dangerous. This was originally going to be at the bottom of the list as "surprise of the week" as the trailer stunned me when I saw it before A-team at the weekend. It looks amazing. It boasts Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman and John Malkovich as....well I don't want to ruin that bit of the trailer - Watch it for yourselves.
So a gang of retired ex-CIA spies in a elaborate fight against their previous employers. Bruce Willis (without his trademark white top I'll add) in a film which could make up for Die Hard 4.0, a paranoid LSD-addled John Malkovich, Helen Mirren destroying a car with a big ass gun and Morgan Freeman! (his presence alone is amazing and bodes well for the rest of the film).
Less than 40,000 people have seen this video on youtube so enjoy it and count down the days til its October release!

Despicable Me
Family fun with Steve Carell in this animated movie with small little yellow people who remind me of "Chip" from the family quiz show "Catchphrase". But with more arms, personality and a vast array of weapons.
More surprising is the fact that both Julie Andrews and Russell Brand also appear in this film. Andrews as Carell's mother and Brand as his scientific assistant. There are also apparent references to the Lehman Brothers (the local Bank of Evil). All of which should make this interesting for adults as well as small kids.
Hopefully you like the trailer and now want to watch the movie. Unfortunately if at any point between watching the trailer and the movie you find that you do not like it and find the little yellow people and their inability to talk properly annoying then bad luck - they're already talking of releasing a sequel.

The Expendables
Action-packed trailer boasting the likes of Stallone, Rourke, Statham, Li, Couture and a cameo by Arnie.
It looks like a fast paced movie, just don't expect too much in terms of plot line which was probably secondary to how many explosions can we have (nothing against explosions!).
Every time I see Sylvester Stallone I feel a little bit sick, but I think that the slight nausea derived from his appearance will be overcome to watch what could be a really enjoyable film. Probably more so for guys than girls....
UK Release Date: ALREADY OUT
