Neatly bridging the gap between this year’s glut of sci-fi films and the ongoing demand for unusual teenagers who, like, can’t fit in because they’re vampires (or werewolves or gay or whatever else), I Am Number Four will certainly be popular. Michael Bay should be crucified for ruining yet another film with his stupid flashing lights, but who cares when there’s a hunky alien loose?

As a huge proportion of horror films become ever more identikit, gory and bland, it’s very easy to write off the whole genre as worthless. But we’re standing up and saying NO MORE! There’s gold in them thar pans of muddy shite, and we’re going to find it.

Is Alien vs Ninja a stark documentary on social decline? No it is not! Look at the title – it’s a fun action adventure featuring alien/ninja fights! This film promises pure sci-fi martial arts joy and delivers it in spades. We have 3 DVDs to give away. Banzai! Competition ends 9 March 2011

Everyone loves to hate the sports movie. Oh it’s so predictable, oh it’s so dull, oh it’s so boyish.

Because they do exist. Honest.

It’s Alex Rider! His hands are glowing!

Spider-Man is bringing awesome back.

After years of lazy, pointless roles, Nicolas Cage abruptly seemed to be dragging himself back towards the light with his acclaimed performances in Bad Lieutenant and Kick-Ass. Where did it all go wrong? If Ron Perlman had any sense, he would have attacked his co-star instead of the titular baddie in this overwrought nonsense of steel, pestilence, demons and artfully tangled hair.

The Buffy reboot is happening, and while we think this bites the time has come (I think there was a memo) to give up on objectivity. As such, may I present Best or Film’s completely subjective guide to who might make a half-decent vampire slayer. Should you be a true Whedonite the following list will seem insane, controversial and completely without fruit. The harsh reality is, however, Natalie Portman is probably busy and Megan Fox is a much likelier choice even if she wasn’t, anyway. It’s like a whole big sucking thing, and this is the best we could do.

Baubles, booze and the inevitable Dave Berry Christmas DVD should all be side stepped and a run made for the queue to buy tickets for this epic.
