Mr Popper's Penguins

A closer look at this weeks UK film releases to see what you could possibly be letting yourself in for.

When the film is bad those cinema seats are absolute hell and you want to leave and so do the other 300 or 400 people.  But you don’t leave, you just hang on to the bitter end, the seat gets more uncomfortable, the film is not improving and that 2 hours seems like an eternity. When the film finally does finish the relief is unbelievable and there is a mass stampede to leave the cinema as quickly as possible. . Hopefully these reviews help to avoid the second scenario!

This weeks films include some crackers including the one that is getting us and the media excited and that’s the Spielberg "Super 8" is it that good?, also the Jim Carrey featured "Mr Popper’s Penguins" and the others include Knuckle, The Referees and Sarah’s Key.
