The Hangover: Part II hung over the UK Box Office this weekend, with a headache-inducing total of £10.4m.

That's a scarily high amount for Todd Phillips' offensively unfunny sequel. It's triple the amount of the first film, which took £3.2m on its opening weekend. That's the kind of figure you normally expect from a comedy (Paul opened earlier this year with a very strong £5.5m including previews), so £10.4m will be making Warner Bros very happy. Everyone else, of course, will just be dismayed.

Not even Jack Sparrow could hold it off the UK Top Ten top spot. Pirates of the Caribbean 4, which was considered to be doing well last week, earned half The Hangover 2's amount at number two, pillaging its way to a hoard of £4.7m.

That's a drop of around 40%, which gives it a large running total (just under £20m) but leaves it quite a way behind the last few in the franchise - Pirates 2 had £26.7m after two weeks in cinemas. With 567 and 469 screens respectively, though, Pirates 4 and The Hangover 2 will be serious competitors against X-Men: First Class this weekend.

With all the blockbuster action and 15-rated comedy on offer, parents with younger children have little other choice than Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2. Which explains why Fox's sequel got almost £1.5m over the weekend - a great result given the first Diary of a Wimpy Kid debuted with £600k odd. 

Disney will be looking to take family audiences away from X-Men and Thor with Jack Sparrow, but the only other half-term option is Rio, which has been around for way too long already. Greg Hefley hung around for 5 weeks last year to chalk up a total of £2.5m, so Wimpy Kid 2 will be expecting a nice healthy run - at least until Kung Fu Panda 2 bounces into multiplexes (the previews this week have had a very strong response).

The rest of the UK Top Ten remains largely unchanged, as Fast Five continues to race towards a cumulative gross of £20m. Attack the Block, meanwhile, dropped 60% down at number nine, and will inevitably lose quite a few screens to Marvel's mutants and Dreamworks' panda. Bare sad, innit, blud.

Two years ago, the world blacked out and woke up in a popcorn-covered cinema. They couldn't remember what they saw, but they knew that it was very, very funny. That and something about holocaust rings. So The Hangover crew is back for one more night of debauched misadventures. "I can't believe it's happening again..." moan the cast as they awake bleary-eyed in Bangkok. They're not the only ones.

In “The Hangover Part II,” Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Doug (Justin Bartha) travel to exotic Thailand for Stu’s wedding. After the unforgettable bachelor party in Las Vegas, Stu is taking no chances and has opted for a safe, subdued pre-wedding brunch. However, things don’t always go as planned. What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens in Bangkok can’t even be imagined.

Two videos turned up online over the weekend. The first was four minutes of footage from the upcoming Green Lantern, as shown at WonderCon. Or CinemaCon. One of the Cons. The second was the full trailer for The Hangover Part II, the sequel to Todd Phillips' drunken blackout/grossout/balls-out comedy.

One of them shows a surprising amount of promise for a pointless idea. The other is Green Lantern. Or to put it simply:

Good 

Pants 

Ok, so you may not agree that The Hangover Part II looks surprisingly ok - perhaps even funny - but hands up if you like that shiny green stuff. Anyone? Bueller?

Limitless rides a high of £2.1m at the UK Box Office this week, after beating off mild competition from The Eagle and A Turtle's Tail. Drugs are good, mmkay?

Bradley Cooper's pill-popping thriller had two days of previews to help shoot up its solid total, but practically doubled the returns for second place 3D kids film A Turtle's Tail, which actually opened on more screens.

The Eagle marched into third, almost matching Turtle's takings of just over £1m. That's a little behind the £1.5m Kevin McDonald's State of Play took in its first week back in 2009, but then Channing Tatum is hardly Russell Crowe.

Interestingly, the historical hack-and-slash adventure showed in more cinemas than the top two films - the only movie more widely shown over the weekend was fourth place Rango. The success of Limitless, then, is testament to the impact of Bradley Cooper's face, which wooed audiences into multiplexes and also formed the basis of an inspired advertising campaign on The Tube.

It's not often you get to see a happy film about hard drugs. But just when you were getting sick of overdoses, deaths and grimy one-bed flats, along comes Limitless. It's loud, thrilling, fast-paced AND happy. It's the anti-Requiem for a Dream.

Rango has reached the top of the UK Box Office after a lukewarm week that saw no-one make very much money. But don't worry: Submarine didn't sink, even if it did surface in 12th place. More on that later.

Dreamworks' animated Western took the number one spot from Battle: Los Angeles, dropping 32% down to £1.05m. That's not a lot for a chart-topper, but it's got a healthy £5m running total now, which it's clocked up outside of half term and without 3D uplifts.

It's also the only film to take more than £1 million this week, as it doesn't look like many people went to the pictures over the weekend: Rango's £500k drop is more than most of the new releases made in their first week.

Chalet Girl sloped in at number four (the highest of the debuts) with an alright £677k. Taking into account the usually reliable demographic of teenage girls, though, it's a bit of a downhill run for the rather excellent rom-com (that's right: it's excellent). Still, its Wednesday-Thursday previews helped it jump over The Lincoln Lawyer, which came in fifth with £571k.

The week's other popular release was Anuvahood, which had a solid opening, taking £536k from around 149 cinemas. That's an average of £3,600 per screen, the best of the UK Top Ten, which not only beats Felicity Jones and Matthew McConaughey but also makes it look bare easy, blud, you get me? Regardless of negative reviews and the limited print run, the audience for the gangsta comedy clearly liked the film - even more than I liked using the word 'blud' in that last sentence.

We love it when a press conference comes together. Especially if it involves four men accused of a crime they didn't commit, struggling to answer questions after a crazy premiere in London the night before. But answer questions they did, covering everything from quitting smoking to getting a suntan.

They even touched upon the recent decision to axe the UK Film Council, which Liam Neeson (Hannibal) described as "quite appalling".

Neeson was joined by Bradley Cooper (Face), Sharlto Copley (Murdock), Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (B.A.), Jessica Biel (Col. Sosa) and director Joe Carnahan to discuss bringing the iconic 80s TV show back to the modern day.

The A-Team is in cinemas now, and you can read our review over here, but why would you do that when you can hear about Sharlto Copley talking to plants?

I pity the fool who wasn't on the red carpet on Tuesday night, walking around Leicester Square with The A-Team. Which pretty much means I pity myself - although I did get to shout questions at them at the press conference the following morning. You can read about that here.

But if mute celebrities are you thing and you get turned on by still photos of Liam Neeson, then rejoice! Yes, we've got a steaming hot selection of sexy photos, of everyone from Jessica Biel and Bradley Cooper to Joe Carnahan, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and District 9's Sharlto Copley. Who sadly didn't come dressed as Braveheart. Or a prawn.

The A-Team is out now in UK cinemas. You can check out our review over here, or read on for the super-pretty photos of the premiere. Or do both. Like one after the other. You can bet Hannibal Smith would approve of that. He loves it when... oh, you get the idea. Here are the pictures:

Ok, so Tom Hardy hasn't declared war with McG. He's done something quite, quite different: he's signed up for a film called This Means War. Directed by McG.

Yes, the suave Brit who blew everyone away with his scenery-devouring Bronson performance, before going on to prove his action credentials with Christopher Nolan's mind-bending Inception, will now star in a film by McG. From James Bond contender to Charlie's Angels follow-up in the blink of an eye.

This Means War is a high-concept blend of action, romance and comedy - an action rom-com, if you allow us to coin a brand new genre. Back in 2001, Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence were attached to play two spies fighting over one woman (Reese Witherspoon). It never too off.

In recent years, it looked like Bradley Cooper and Chris Pine would be filling the manly parts. That is, until Cooper dropped out because he thought the script was a bit naff. Along came Sam Worthington - McG stalwart after Terminator Salvation - who ultimately passed as well.

And so in steps Tom Hardy to take up the battle for Reese Witherspoon, as he and Pine, two lifelong secret agent friends, declare full-on black ops warfare against each other. Then, when the film finally gets made, McG can make a sequel: This Really Means War. In which thousands of Inception and Bronson fans declare full-on black ops warfare against Tom Hardy for selling out.
