The latest example is the comedyHot Tub Time Machine, which arrives in cinemas in the UK today. Here, were picked out ten of our favourite 80s films that werent made in the 80s. Ad content continues below Showgirls (1995) Paul Verhoeven has made some outstanding movies.Robocop. Basic Instinct.Sadly,Showgirlscannot be included in that list. Resolutely entrenched with the spirit of the 80s,Showgirlsforgets the 90s ever happened. Forget sexual equality, forget that leering over the female form is widely considered to be a bad thing....

Mark checks out the DVD… Enter Natalie (Anna Kendrick), who has an ambitious proposal to modernise Ryans job using video conferencing. It covers similar ground in that Ryan is estranged from loved ones because of the demands of his job. Nevertheless, it feels innately fresh and heartfelt throughout, with a witty script and some sparkling performances. My incredulity at Anna Kendrick here knows no bounds after seeing this film. Shes been slumming it inTwilight!...

The comedy cameo is an artform in itself. They are one-off moments of hilarity, often where you least expect it. This is, in many ways, the ideal cameo formula. Ad content continues below Step forward, Chuck Norris. Who knew basketball players could do comedy? He doesnt quite manage it, although scenes like this are comedy gold. Whats your vector, Victor? David Hasselhoff The Spongebob Squarepants Movie Comedy cameos dont get much stranger than this....

(They call it the Pit, by the way.)… Maybe I just have a dirty mind, but, well,Creature From The Pitis a bit kinky. Actually, its very kinky. Quite frankly, its kinkier than Dame Diana Rigg in her Queen of Sin get-up. Ah, my dominatrix outfit, says Myra Francis (Lady Adrasta) scant minutes into the commentary. And yes, yes it is. I couldnt imagine you in a subordinate role, says Adrasta....

Pack the thermal pants and bug spray, its time to head back to E.D.N. III as Aaron reviews Lost Planet 2… Ad content continues below Lost Planet2s story takes place ten years after the events seen in the original. The planet of E.D.N. There are several episodes each split into chapters, and then into missions. The single player campaign is an odd one. Some later missions are notably longer than these short early skirmishes, though....

Just think of all the classic movie moments we could visit and experience with our own eyes. He turns round a deeply anti-American crowd to his way of thinking. If he can change, heck we all can change. Anyway, our reasons for wanting to be here are several. Timing is all important on this one. Naturally, the later into the night we go, our chances of survival greatly diminish. Menacing, powerful and hanging out with our mates....

Firstly, most obviously, it isnt a spin-off fromThe Mighty Boosh. But thats where it ends. Bunny And The Bullis instead a surreal, cartoonish comedy road movie with a heart-warming, tragic heart. The story is told in flashback. Stephen (Edward Hogg) is in his flat, and doesnt leave, not ever. The score is lovely, spare and haunting. Hogg and Farnaby are terrific, both endearing. Bunny And The Bullwill not be for everyone....

The Doctor is back on BBC One, in the shape of bandy-legged nutjob Matt Smith. With his debut on TV comes a somewhat inevitable range of spin-off novels for the Eleventh Doctor. Its been perfectly preserved in ice for thousands of years, so how on Earth is it alive? Thankfully, my fears were allayed by Brian Minchins excellent prose and dialogue for the character. Nevertheless, her double act with the Doctor is preserved....

A film that works best the less you know about, Mark checks out The Disappearance Of Alice Creed… Danny and Vic are two men with a plan. Theyve kidnapped the eponymous Miss Creed and secured her in a dingy flat-turned inescapable fortress. And thats as much as I dare give away of the plot. Im not being overly cagey- youll thank me once youve seen it. This is mostly because the first 20 minutes of the film is superbly realised....

George A Romero and Dario Argento. What could go wrong with Two Evil Eyes? George Romero and Dario Argento. And goodness, thats what you expect to get from this one. The cover of this DVD is absolutely vile. Missing the days of crazy video rental artwork? Unfortunately, he chooses to die during the process, leaving his soul somewhere between here and over there. However, you might not stick around that far, as this is not his finest hour....

Note: This review is STUFFED withspoilers. There are no more spoiler warnings after this point! Everyone knows the rule. The better a comicbook movie, the better its sequel. It was true ofSpider-Man. It was true ofX-Men. It was true ofBatman(twice). And yet, somehow, it did. Dont get me wrong, this film is good, and sometimes even great. At no point is it ever any worse than your typical summer action blockbuster....

Our look back at the work of Joel Schumacher arrives at easily his most infamous film. Carley braves the horrors of Batman & Robin… Ice to see you!- Mr. Freeze The Recap By 1997, Joel Schumacher must have felt on the top of the world.

How do spin-off book writers tackle the Matt Smith era of Doctor Who, wonders Michael? And inApollo 23, he certainly makes a valiant attempt at it. Richards does equally as well in capturing the Doctors voice. There are instances of Tennants Ten bubbling under the surface. Doctor Who: Apollo 23is out now andavailable from the Den Of Geek Store.
