Did that reverence for 1970s films likeThe French Connectionprovide an enjoyable aspect to playing the character? Its really interesting to play those characters that are not allowed to show. Where doesWazfit into those categories? Was it a commercial project for you? Ad content continues below No! It doesnt pay my bills [laughs]. This was because it was an interesting role. It was Shankland that made me do it. Hes a first-time director, and Ive done quite a few of them....

He turned down Airplane. He’s the legend behind The Howling, Piranha and so many more. Without further ado… What do you remember aboutThe Movie Orgy? And when was the last time you got to see it? There was never more than the single 16mm print, with various film stocks spliced together. We billed it as a 2001 Splice Odyssey. Susan Sontag had just written herEssay on Camp, so we called it Camp Movie Night....

ITMSis possibly the last time you will ever hear anything good aboutAlien Vs. Predator Requiem, and as such has a morbid novelty value. Gigers astonishing and original creation. Rating: 3 out of 5

Asian directors don’t often successfully make the transition to American movies. If nothing else,My Blueberry Nightsis unmistakably a Wong Kar Wai film. Singer Norah Jones (in her first major acting role) plays the lead character, Elizabeth. Instead, its fascinating and managedto engage me without distraction from beginning to end. I can certainly see why it would split viewer opinion but I fall firmly into the loving it camp. A kitchen sink drama that plays like an epic fantasy....

Not to me!, under pressure of unbearable torture in Room 101. Has the otherwise unavenged victim (Selma Blair) taken the law into her own hands? Rating: 4 out of 5

Paul McGann’s Doctor and India Fisher as Charley Pollard investigate a Christmas mystery in this new audio adventure. Alex checks it out… The chimes of midnight heralding another death. The final episode lacks fresh ideas and the actual conclusion is disappointing after such a brilliant premise. Robert Shearmans witty script would perhaps have worked better as an hour-long special rather than as a four-parter. The Edwardian house setting invites comparisons with previousDoctor Whostories....

And now its come back. At the time Id been offered a whole load of Shakespeare and I opted for that instead. But I think with the wisdom of hindsight Id have gone back in for the whole season. How has Leela evolved from what we know of her in the Tom Baker era? Theres a lot more separation from the Doctor, so that shes actually driving the story. My favourite story when I was in it visually wasThe Sun Makers…...

Emma Westecott worked on Starship Titanic with Douglas Adams. Thus, she is cooler than all of us. Its fair to say she knows her stuff. (And if all that werent enough, she worked onStarship Titanicwith Douglas Adams.) (And indeed the video games panel at the Birds Eye View festival!) I had always been particularly impressed by the events mix of women from industry and the academy. I came across Birds Eye View through the Women in Games conference....

Another Pixar film gets the Blu-ray high definition treatment. But does Cars deserve another viewing? To callCarsthe first Pixar film to flop is bizarre. At the time of writing, its the ninth most successful film ever at the American box office. Some failure that is. The problem is that the middle third, where McQueen undergoes his transformation into not-a-bad-motor-actually is flabby and prolonged. It also, and its hard to remember thinking this of a Pixar film before borderline dull....

The cinematography is excellent, as are the special effects, but this is all a given with Liman. Jumperis on general release from Friday 15th February Rating: 3 out of 5

That was just how Stephen Moffat wrote it. How was the experience of going back on the set after all those years? Ad content continues below I loved it. But once I got into it I had a great time doing it. So in a way it kind of balanced out. And the moment you run through the lines, its great. It was all very quick. No no, particularly regarding Patrick....

Hidden and Everyone Says Hello are two new audio releases into the Torchwood franchise. Holger gave them a spin… Unlike previous CD releases, these stories are exclusive to this medium and have not been previously published elsewhere. The stories are both about two and a half hours long, and each come in a two-CD case. Can it be that he really is the killer? And if so, what would have motivated him?...

Everyone’s talking about it, and now Matt’s seen it - it’s Juno. Junos brilliance doesnt really lie in its story. We are offered a wide variety of colourful characters, all unique without ever becoming unbelievable. This is owing, at least in part, to the fantastic cast. The supporting cast are equally excellent. The film is littered with faces youll recognise, includingThe Offices Rainn Wilson. Ad content continues below Much has been made of Diablo Cody, the screenwriter behind Juno....
