Attack the Block

On a simple level of pure alien threat, Attack the Block's beasties are bang on.

Hanna

Bold and disarming, Hanna really shouldn't work but by heck it does.

Thor

Great Odin's raven, it's good!

Insidious

You'll howl with fear or with laughter. Either way, Insidious is a hoot.

13 Assassins

Epic, violent and bloody satisfying.

Scream: The Video Game

Experience the sheer terror of the Scream franchise through the medium of an MS-DOS text game.

The Veteran

War is bad, mmmkay. Get past that and this is quite good.

Fast Five

The most furious load of bollocks yet. Amazing.

Arthur

Love him or hate him, it's hard to resist Russell Brand's manic charm. Which of course just makes you hate him even more.

Rio

If it's an advert for Angry Birds, it's a good one.

Researchers in medical sciences, and particularly genetics, seem to be the most likely to be given the Frankenstein (or "Harold Shipman") treatment. But is Hollywood right?
