Outlander
A new film that is supposed to be out this month. Basical plot sounds bad, but the trailer looked fun.
Plot: Space man comes to earth during the time of the vikings, chasing an alien beast. The alien beast looks and acts very like a dragon. Vikings and spaceman fight the alien/dragon.
It was originallly supposed to have a big budget and the effects by Weta, but one of the backers pulled out, so it was filmed for less in America - but as I said the trailer looked pretty good.
The Cottage
Comedy/horror, about two men that kidnap the daughter of a local crime boss and hold for ransom. Turns out they are really really bad at kidnapping, and they've picked a cottage to hide in that is near the home of an insane murderer. . .
I enjoyed this film lots. Found it to be a giggle.
Indiana Jones and the crystal skull
OMG! what did they do!! I did not like this film. The plot was horrible. The villians were more silly than villinous and their accents sounded fake to me.
I did like some of the action scenes and dialogue, but for me the plot about aliens completely ruins the world setting. Some of the action scenes were over-the-top and really didn't fit the feel I expect form an indi film (eg surviving a nuke by hiding in a fridge!).
Was fun to see a character from the original film back, but it wasn't enough to off-set the stupid plot.
Oh, and did I mention the plot was silly?

) Amazon.co.uk has it for about £10.99 which seems a fair price of a new film.
