This week's new films

Marley (15) (Kevin Macdonald, 2012, US/UK) 145 mins Authoritative to the point of exhausting, Macdonald's documentary compiles an awesome amount of footage, photos, interviews, etc – but then it's a big subject.

Salmon Fishing In The Yemen (12A) (Lasse Hallström, 2012, UK) Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt. 106 mins An incongruous setting for a mushy fish-out-of-water romcom, with Blunt and her sheikh boss lured by McGregor's tackle.
