Another summer blockbuster, another hastily cobbled together video game tie in which doesn't quite pass muster? Alas yes, although there's more than enough here to keep a casual gamer entertained for a while.

There seem to be no new ideas in film anymore. As we wait for the Fame remake to hit the screens (the renaissance of legwarmers can only be a matter of time), Star Trek takes its place near the top of the 2009 box office chart and Pelham 123 prepares for release this week. Not so with games though, right? Wrong.

Being a celebrity chef seems fairly straightforward nowadays. Back in the day you used to have to be able to, yannow, cook. Now it's more about being able to swear like a trooper (Gordon / Jamie) or pout alluringly into the camera while making innocent vegetables look dodgy (Nigella). But it's not as easy as it looks, as Restaurant Empire 2 proves.

Herding sheep could potentially get a bit dull after a while. Unless you throw in some LED lights and a bit of imagination to make something special.

Smithy takes on the England manager's job
Comic Relief's aim of 'being funny for money' got no better than when James Corden's Smithy ended up at a posh hotel doing a plumbing job and met the entire England squad.

It feels a bit Emperor's New Clothes to admit this, but I'm not a huge fan of Tarantino, Rodriguez et al. They all seem a bit too smug about their cinematic geekiness – if you don't get the auteurs' vision from the film then it's your fault not theirs apparently.

I chose the latter.

Having one actor carry a film is a bit of a risk. If it's someone good then it's all well and good. But when it ends badly it ends really badly. Now personally I'm not a Tom Hanks fan, so watching Castaway where he spent a great part of the film alone bar his furrowed brow and increasingly beardy facial hair was my idea of cinematic hell. Will Smith as the last survivor of an apocalypse? I was fearful it'd go the same way...
