Now, Eli Roth has donned his producer hat to bring usThe Last Exorcism. (Hint: you dont.) How did the film come about? The script came to you first, Eli, is that right? Eli Roth:Well, actually it was producer Eric Newman who had the idea years ago. He wanted to do this documentary of an exorcism gone wrong. He developed the script at Strike Entertainment and Eric and I started a company called Arcade and we thought …...

Three years on from the original, writer and director Adam Green returns with the slasher sequel Hatchet II. It was for the originalHatchet. Speculation for the headline begins now. Rating: 4 out of 5

Dario Argentos 1980 horror epic Inferno arrives in the UK in this uncut and restored DVD release. But have the past 30 years been kind to the Italian directors follow-up to Suspiria? 1980sInfernofollowed on fromSuspiria, the surreal nightmare that cemented Argentos reputation as a consummate horror director. A woman is mewled and scratched to death by dozens of cats. Even by Argentos standards,Infernois an unusual, unique film. Its a striking piece of cinema, if not quite as dizzyingly memorable as the directors earlier masterpiece....

Aaron tags along with gamings most notorious in Kane and Lynchs far eastern second outing, Dog Days … debacle, and was far from the smash hit people had hoped for. Now you have to press X to stick to cover, which is a far better option. The one, supposedly, original feature is the knock down system. It also only works about half of the time. This may sound like a bad idea and....

Luke finds out… Its not often that Alan Partridge is the go-to guy for sage-like wisdom. Titanic, Titanic, Partridge screams back. Save for the hundreds of hours bit, he could have been talking aboutThe Last Exorcism. And a not very good one, at that. Its an iceberg that threatens to sink the film. That it doesnt is testament to the unexpected thrill of the journey up to that point. Ad content continues below...

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg play a pair of hapless law enforcers in buddy cop parody The Other Guys. But how does it compare to McKays classic Anchorman? Heres our review… Highsmith and Danson are the undisputed alpha male cops of New York. A bang-on-the-money parody of the buddy cop movie,The Other Guysis blessed with three expertly judged comedy pairings. The most important pairing, however, is arguably Ferrell and director Adam McKay....

Whats also apparent is Maozs talent as a director. The film opens and closes with two incredibly striking shots of a field of sunflowers. The view from inside the tank is also incredibly claustrophobic. At no point in the film does the camera work seem gimmicky. Its a refreshing perspective, as I havent seen a film utilise these methods to this extent. For the most part, the film doesnt play out like a typical war film....

Avatar returns to multiplexes for an extended Special Edition. But does its extra footage warrant a return trip to the cinema? And so Pandora returns to the big screen in all its luminous glory. Youll know all this, of course, because youll have seen the film already. If so,Avatars numerous shortcomings may still linger in your mind. When the confrontation between human and Navi finally arrives, however, its with a familiar Cameron crunch....

What follows is, in Wrights terms, a musical, but with fighting instead of singing. Witness Rouths unexpected gift for comedy. Marvel at Winsteads mastery of deadpan. Yield to Wongs super-enthusiastic portrayal of Knives Chau (17 years old). There simply isnt a duff player amongst them. InScott Pilgrim, he seems to take his dedication to the form almost to another level. If theres any major problem, its thatScott Pilgrims frame of reference sometimes seems self-consciously narrow....

Sylvester Stallones barnstorming action movie The Expendables gets an equally urgent soundtrack courtesy of composer Bryan Tyler. The Expendablesis a film that I have been anticipating ever since the first news of the assembled cast hit. Ever since then, it has been a long wait. Now, whilst those previous statements arent true, the film is a whole lot of testosterone packed goodness. One of the biggest surprises for me was the quality of its score....

Harry Harrisons hugely popular anti-hero first appeared in 1961 and has schemed his way through nine subsequent novels. Whilst Harrison agreed to the adaptations, its left to 2000ADs first editor Kelvin Gosnell to write the script. They also constitute the full quota of adapted stories to appear to date. So, Slippery Jim remains a unique part of prog history. Its a journey from the far-flung future to 1975 Earth and an encounter with a victorious Napoleon....

Where now, the notion of intergalactic travel and distant civilisations are much less revolutionary. And at the other end is a perfunctory story, diabolical dialogue, and painfully poor acting. Its like a bizarre experiment has taken place where Fellini had been convinced to directCarry On Cleo. When I first saw the movie, I was in a constant state of shock, I recall. Actually, in Blesseds case, with the entire pig production of a major European country....

Its not the most accessible piece, but its very effective within the context of the film. Its as cold and chilling as previous pieces, which is a perfect complement to the films setting. There are times that I cant quite believe what Im hearing, but Im always completely captivated. Shore won the first Academy Award of his career for his score here and it was very much deserved. It provides a perfect accompaniment to the film as well as working brilliantly well as a standalone listen....
