Set 60 years prior to the events of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit tells the story of reluctant adventurer Bilbo Baggins, who joins the wizard Gandalf and a group of dwarves on a quest to reclaim their former home and the treasure it contains from the dragon Smaug.

With a title like that, Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity carries with it a weight of expectation that - to be fair - it never really had a chance of truly living up to. This sci-fi version take on Richard Connell’s The Most Dangerous Game stars Elizabeth Kaitan and Cindy Beal as Daria and Tisa, a pair of bikini-clad prisoners who break out of their cell, steal a spaceship and ending up crashing on a nearby planet. There our nubile heroines meet the seemingly friendly Zed (Don Scribner), who invites them to come and stay with him in his fortress home. But it soon becomes clear that Zed has a secret hobby – hunting his guests in the surrounding jungle and mounting their heads as trophies on his walls.

Based on a novel by Don Winslow, Savages stars Blake Lively as 'O', a somewhat unreliable narrator ('Just because I'm telling you this doesn't mean I'm alive at the end,' she says early on) and beach bunny girlfriend to Southern Californian dope growers Chon (Taylor Kitch) and Ben (Aaron Johnson).

The humble television is changing. As if touched up by a troupe of Kubrick monkeys, yesterday’s Full HD TV is now on course for a revolutionary image upgrade to 4K Ultra high-definition, an evolution fuelled by advances in panel production, the development of new compression codec technology and a crying need to inject life into the moribund global TV market. Frankly, we couldn’t be more excited.

Stephanie Meyer didn't so much rewrite the rule book on vampires as completely throw it out of the window with her dreary saga of the love between a pouty living girl and a brooding undead boy who sparkles in the sunlight.

Stealth has always been the cornerstone of Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid franchise. Sneaking around and avoiding detection is its entire raison d'être. Or at least it was, until now. Trust us – this isn't your typical Metal Gear... outing.

Having been quite taken with English filmmaker Michael J. Bassett's swords 'n' sorcery outing Solomon Kane, we were looking forward to seeing what he'd do with this videogame-inspired horror sequel. Sadly, apart from adding 3D to the mix, the answer is not very much.
