Irvine Welsh's Ecstasy
Date Location
(2 stars) Lloyd (Sinclair) is a club-loving drug-smuggler who dumps his girlfriend (Andrup) in favour of Heather (Kreuk), but their happiness is threatened by psychotic club owner Solo (Rota). This drear, witless compilation of drug-movie clichés has no sense of time or place, and replaces Welsh's strength of detail with limp vagueness.

Jeff, Who Lives At Home
Date Location
(3 stars) Jeff (Segel) is a sweet-natured thirtyish loser whose brother Pat (Helms) ropes him into tracking Pat's possibly adulterous wife (Greer). Diversion (rather than hilarity) ensues, and the film's tendency to elevate Jeff's charming hopelessness over the values of those awful people with jobs and families feels somewhat disingenuous and pandering.

Learn How To Make Charcoal
Date Location
Be honest – which of us hasn't, at some time or other, wanted to learn how to transform wood into a reliable and efficient solid fuel by means of pyrolysis in a charcoal kiln? We know we have. This two-day course will show you how it's done (it's two days because the process has to happen overnight) and at the end of it, you'll have your own supply of charcoal to take home for the BBQ, stove or open fire. This is a hands-on course which will involve getting dirty, tired and probably also wet…

The Lucky One
Date Location
(2 stars) A US Marine serving in Iraq (Efron, stretching credibility) finds a photo of an unknown blonde beauty (Schilling), credits it with bringing him luck, and after returning home, sets out to find her. The latest adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel is schmaltzy, contrived, unconvincing and empty.

Marley
Date Location
(3 stars) Kevin Macdonald's documentary chronicles the rise of Bob Marley, the first musical superstar from the developing countries to gain a global audience. With many archival treasures, the result is a comprehensive portrait but it's overly reverential and the interviews could have delved a little deeper.

The Muppets
Date Location
(3 stars) When Muppet fans Gary (Segel), his girlfriend Mary (Adams) and brother Walter (a puppet) learn that oil millionaire Tex Richman (Cooper) plans to demolish the Muppet theatre, it's time to reunite the original cast. If the plot could be fresher, the well-chosen guest stars, self-referential humour and old-school bonhomie should raise a smile.

Outside Bet
Date Location
(1 star) Hoskins piles on the geezer as Percy 'Smudge' Smith, the head of a band of Fleet Street hacks who unwisely entrust their redundancy money to Bax (MacNab), who invests it on a racehorse. Dated misogynist comedy, bargain-basement sentimentality and glib moralising cause the film to fall at the first hurdle.
