Blu-ray

The IT Crowd's Richard Ayoade joins Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill and Vince Vaughn for this big budget sci-fi comedy. Unfortunately, it would appear that the filmmakers spent the entire $68m budget on visual effects and forgot to pay anybody to write jokes – a solution they try (and fail) to cover up with a witless parade of swearing. Still, as you'd expect from such a costly Hollywood failure, The Watch does at least look and sound rather neat in high-definition. The Blu-ray also boasts a reasonable  batch of extras including a 12-minute Making of… and a spoof interview with an alien actor.

When Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) is deleted from existence by a time-travelling alien, Agent J (Will Smith) has to take a trip back to 1969 to save his partner’s life in this overdue third outing in the action-comedy sci-fi franchise.

Only Paul W.S Anderson could ever dream of giving us a car chase through the streets of Moscow that features zombies on motorbikes firing machine guns. But that's just one of the many brilliantly daft action treats he has in store in this fifth outing in the popular videogame spin-off.

Not since Gus Van Sant's 1998 remake of Psycho have a witnessed as futile an exercise in filmmaking as this latest outing from former kings of comedy Peter and Bobby Farrelly.

A revolution is underway in your local cinema. 'Older' audiences have broken out of the special screening ghetto that multiplexes used to put on in the hope of pulling them in, and are now spending significant amounts of money at the box office. And realising that they aren't necessarily looking for films about its usual subjects (superheroes, serial killers and the like) Hollywood has set about making films aimed specifically at this more mature demographic, resulting in recent hits like The King's Speech and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

Michael Mann's lavish screen adaptation of James Fenimore Cooper's novel makes a belated bow on UK Blu-ray. The AVC 2.40:1 1080p visuals are extremely dark and grainy, which often robs the picture of detail and gives it a softer appearance, but this appears to be true to the source material. The visuals are backed-up by a powerful (if front-heavy) DTS-HD MA 5.1 track that comes alive during battle scenes. In addition to the so-called 'Definitive Cut' of the film, the BD also includes a chat-track and a three-part Making of… documentary.

Jennifer Lawrence and Elisabeth Shue add some class to this disappointing flick that aspires to the status of 'A Hitchcockian thriller… geared towards a younger audience' (according to producer Aaron Ryder), but simply comes across as being a completely formulaic, forgettable and surprisingly bland addition to the girl-in-peril sub-genre. On a positive note, the Blu-ray's grainy AVC 2.40:1 1080p encode authentically replicates the film's striking visual style, while the DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix holds some pleasing surprises (particularly during the finale).
