The losers

Cast Zoe Saldana, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Idris Elba
Director Sylvain White
genre Action
rating PG-13

A five-member elite American team led by Colonel Clay (Dean Morgan) is deep in the Bolivian jungle to eliminate a drug lord. Just minutes before the swoop they discover that the drug dealers have got wind of the mission and are holding 25 kids hostage. Meanwhile a helicopter has been dispatched to help them blast the hideout, and Max (Jason Patric) the mission controller refuses to abort the job.

No problem. Our heroes manage to storm the fortress and rescue the kids before the air strike. Now the copter which has to take the team home has to ferry the kids first - and this is where the story takes off. Believing that Clay's men are on-board, Max has his men blow up the copter. Presumed dead, Clay and his team, assisted by a mysterious fighter, Aisha (Saldana), have to find Max and foil his plans.

Nothing new about the plot but if you like action, this movie could brighten up your weekend.

Ben 10 returns

Cast Ben, Grandpa Max
Director Cartoon Network
Genre Animation
rating PG

If you wondered what the fuss your kid made over Ben 10 was all about, watch this! You'll be enlightened on most of the stuff children talk about - first of all, who is Ben?

It's obvious that Ben is a boy superhero. He first chanced upon the Ominitrix five years ago which gave him the ability to transform into 10 different aliens, each with its own unimaginable powers. After some time, he gave up his role and returned to normal life. But when Grandpa Max disappears, Ben comes back to save the world.

And yes, it's quite watchable for adults too - it's fast-paced and highly imaginative!
