Ben Child surveys the fallout from one of the weekend's major releases
The Other Guys: star stand-ins or subs-standard?
Ben Child: If, as Time Out suggests, this Will Ferrell vehicle is the funniest movie of the year, then 2010 is an annus horribilis for comedy
The Runaways: Rock chicks' biopic burns out before its begun
Ben Child: Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning can't quite capture the onstage verve of the 70s teenage girl band who blazed a trail and then imploded in a haze of drug-taking and jealousy
Dinner for Schmucks: this putz won't win any prizes
Ben Child: Semantics aside, Steve Carell is in danger of becoming that funny guy who always appears in the really unfunny movies
Grown Ups: Adam Sandler is older, less wise, yet consistently lucrative
Ben Child: Adam Sandler's reunion of Saturday Night Live alumni has been a US box-office hit – despite being bottom-of-the-barrel material from an infantile mind
The Expendables: old-timers wheel out the one-liners
Ben Child: Sylvester Stallone and his faded action co-stars have produced the movie equivalent of a momentarily diverting puff of smoke
The Last Airbender: Racially dubious, or just not very good?
The bizarre casting of M Night Shyamalan's new fantasy epic has provoked a race row – but would it have been a stinker in any case?
The A-Team: About as authentic as a Turin shroud beach towel
Ben Child: A strong cast, a hotshot director, technical knowhow, explosions, locations, muscle. So why is The A-Team a bit, well, Z-list?
Will Angelina Jolie's Salt be a seller?
Ben Child: After a decent US opening, Angelina Jolie's bid to become an action star proper looks a fairly safe bet. Just mind the holes
Toy Story 3: fitting finale or tired rehash?
Will Woody and Buzz's final outing be a shallow retread of its predecessors or an emotionally fulfilling conclusion to the saga?
London River: an outsider's journey to the heart of a very London tragedy
Is Rachid Bouchareb's 7/7-themed drama 'a film no Londoner should miss' or a morally bankrupt enterprise that uses the bombings as a gimmick?
Predators: Can buff Adrien Brody slay the Twilight vampires?
Ben Child: Robert Rodriguez and Nimród Antal's remake of the 1987 Arnie-starring gorefest has had hype and glowing reviews, but can it match the original's trashy cool?
Post-credits scene: Get Him to the Greek
Has Russell Brand got what it takes to make the leap to Hollywood stardom?
Post-credits scene: Killers
This tediously unoriginal Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher vehicle should be dead in the water. But Twitter threw it an improbable lifeline
Post-credits scene: Black Death
Ben Child: It probably won't sell many tickets, but this pulpy medieval thriller could well remind the world about Sean Bean's talent, make its director a star and do well on DVD to boot
Post-credits scene: The Brothers Bloom
Rian Johnson struck critical gold with Brick, but where does this follow-up leave his career?
Post-credits scene: Sex and the City 2
The critics have spoken, the people have tweeted, and the box office receipts are coming in. Ben Child assesses the fallout from the release of Sex and the City 2
Post-credits scene: Bad Lieutenant
Ben Child: Werner Herzog's fruitcake remake of the Abel Ferrera classic opened in the UK last Friday. But how have the rave reviews been received around the web, and at the box office?
