More intrigue suspense weirdness and laughs in the return of the cliff-hanging comedy thriller... After the explosion at Ravenhill Hospital Mr Jelly Joy David and Maureen Sowerbutts Mr Lomax and Robert just want to get on with their twisted mad and sad lives. But the shadowy if technologically-deprived Grace Andrews and the enigmatic detective Finney are tracking them down - one by one - in search of Nurse Kenchington's locket. Meanwhile we meet some new but equally bizarre Psychoville characters: Jeremy Goode a librarian tortured by a silent singer as he hunts for 50 Great Coastal Walks of the British Isles Volume 2; Peter Bishop whose toy shop Hoyti Toyti has a very strange basement and a desperate and dateless overworked make-up artist Hattie. What could they all have to do with the mystery - and why is it truly a matter of life and death?
As the eagerly awaited Cowboy Bebop feature film reunites the original director, screenwriter, composer and vocal cast, it's not surprising that the film plays like an expanded TV episode. What should be the routine capture of a two-bit hacker by Faye escalates into a deadly game of cat and mouse, as Spike and the gang struggle to prevent the evil Vincent Volaju from murdering every human on Mars. Director Shinichiro Watanabe handles the action sequences with his usual panache: inside the sinister Cherious Medical research facility, Spike fights a beautiful agent, using a push broom in a series of manoeuvres Jackie Chan might envy; the climactic duel between Spike and Vincent plays against innocent yet eerie images of a Halloween carnival. This will delight fans of the series and provide an excellent introduction for the uninitiated. --Charles Solomon

Although it's enjoyable as a brainless diversion, National Security is one of those forgettable entertainments that denies its own considerable potential. It's a police action comedy in the mould of Beverly Hills Cop, tailored to the buddy-flick formula and laced with racial tensions of the post-Rodney King era. It's set in Los Angeles, where dedicated cop Hank (Steve Zahn) does jail time for allegedly beating Earl (Martin Lawrence), whose only real assailant was an overzealous bumblebee. As fate and lazy screenwriting would have it, the two adversaries reunite as security guards, teaming up to crack a team of violent smugglers led by bleached-blond Eric Roberts (further proof that this movie's got nothing new to offer). Routine stunts distract from the comedy's mostly untapped resource: Lawrence pointedly riffs on racial profiling, and his prolific ad-libs play well against Zahn's by-the-book straight man. If their partnership had been allowed to develop more believably, National Security might have been more than a blip on the box-office radar. --Jeff Shannon
