Billboard for Edinburgh: Mark Wallinger

The punchy sentence 'MARK WALLINGER IS INNOCENT', shouted out from the well placed Ingleby Billboard, is intriguing, but with little in-gallery material to explain it, it appears to be a meaningless pharse, disappointing from such an overtly political artist.

RocknRolla
Date Location
Ritchie's story is told with a signature narration and follows the pursuits of a bunch of get-rich-quick, bumbling, loveable rogues who could have walked straight off the set of an Ealing comedy. With trademark flashes of visual panache and humour, it's all perfectly serviceable, but still leaves us guessing over whether Ritchie is just a one-trick pony.

WALL-E
Date Location
Inspired by sci-fi classics from the 1960s and 70s, Pixar have created a post-apocalyptic story set in a future in which the Earth has been abandoned by humankind, where a solitary robot named WALL-E executes his now pointless trash collecting programme.

You Don't Mess With the Zohan
Date Location
Zohan (Sandler) is a superhuman Mossad agent who renounces violence to pursue his real dream - a new life as a NY hairdresser.

Sandler's latest attempt to un-stereotype himself is a tragic attempt to use outrageous comedy to smooth relationships between New York's Israeli and Palestinian communities
