Thriller based on the true story of a 1971 London bank robbery that baffled the authorities and captivated the public. Jason Statham stars as Terry Leather, a former crooked car salesman who wants to put his shady past behind him and start a family. But when Terry's old neighbour, Martine Love (Saffron Burrows), proposes a foolproof plan to rob a Baker Street bank, Terry reluctantly agrees to come on board. As the operation gets underway, the resourceful group of thieves tunnel their way into a safe-deposit vault at the Lloyds Bank in Marylebone where they discover millions of pounds worth of cash and priceless gems. However, Terry and his crew don't realise the boxes also contain a treasure trove of dirty secrets that will thrust them into a deadly web of corruption and illicit scandal that spans London's criminal underworld, the British government, and even the Royal Family.

A young boy is left with a growing problem when he finds a mysterious egg on the shores of Loch Ness, in this big screen adaptation of Dick King-Smith's children's favourite. One day, while beachcombing beside his home on Loch Ness, Angus MacMorrow (Alex Etel) finds an egg that he's never seen before. After taking it home, the egg hatches, and Angus is amazed to find he is the proud owner of a 'Water-Horse', the loch's most famous, fabled inhabitant, which Angus decides to christen 'Crusoe'. But with his new friend growing ten times its own size every day, and some not too friendly locals to contend with, Angus soon has his hands full trying to keep Crusoe under wraps.

Feelgood comedy-of-errors starring Jack Black as a man who accidentally erases all the videos in his friend's store, then has to re-make them to keep the business going. Junkyard worker Jerry (Black) thinks the power plant directly opposite is threatening his health. Taking matters into his own hands, he opts for a pre-emptive strike, but in the process manages to magnetise his brain. Turning up at 'Be Kind Rewind', the video store where his friend Mike (Mos Def) works, Jerry's electro-brain succeeds in erasing all the tapes in the store. Desperate to keep the business from going under, Mike and Jerry hit on a plan to remake every film in the store in their own inimitable way. Unfortunately for them, their scheme is soon scuppered when news of their plan escapes, prompting legal threats of copyright infringement, and the closure of the store. But just when all seems lost, the friends' belief in human nature is finally restored in the most unexpected way.
