The House with a Clock in Its Walls
Eli Roth's first family film is a confused adventure about a young boy who goes to stay with his unusual uncle and his equally strange neighbour and the clock that is hidden in the walls of house. While its based on a book pre-Harry Potter, you can see that this is aiming at the Potter fans, although the story is messy and answers to questions are never clear. Jack Black and Cate Blanchett are fun together but they need a stronger script, while Roth does add some surprisingly nasty touches.

Dan in Real Life
A rom-com that didn't make me feel sick. Steve Carell is the widower with three daughters who spends a weekend with his extended family. When out, he meets Juliette Binoche and they hit it off. What he doesn't know is that she is dating his brother. A film full of awkward moments but you like spending time with the characters and so the romance, which isn't forced, works. The mix of the two leads helped as you couldn't hate them even if you tried.

An American Werewolf in London
John Landis does the impossible by mixing comedy with horror and making it stick. Two Americans on the Yorkshire Moors, are attacked, leaving one dead and the other badly injured. Hospitalised in London, he soon discovers that they were attacked by a werewolf and the line is still in him. The transformation sequence is still incredible considering it wasn't computer generated. One moment your laughing, the next screaming. A bona fide classic.

Ocean
Slick, stylish and very cool, this all-star remake of the Brat Pack 60's classic has all the right moves as George Clooney and Brad Pitt pull a team together to rob three Vegas casinos. Director Steven Soderbergh brings together a mix of smart dialogue with a twisting heist movie that will have you scratching your head while loving every minute of it. The cast seems to be having a great time and so do you.

Press for Time
One of Norman Wisdom's later film starts to feel a little clunky as Norman plays an accident-prone man sent to a seaside town to work on a local newspaper, causing disaster everywhere he goes and upsetting the political community. A few of the set pieces work (a scene where Norman finds himself attached to a hanging lamp is amusing) but the pathos fails to work and it all comes across as laboured. A pity as Norman's previous films has charm. This doesn't

Repossessed
Terrible spoof comedy based around The Exorcist with Linda Blair as a woman who is repossessed by the devil and her exorcism will occur on TV. Leslie Nielsen plays the priest send to save her. You can see that some of the jokes could work if they weren't hammered home and delivered without a hint of good timing. It wants to be Airplane but it cannot even hold a candle to that classic. Uncomfortably embarrassing.

The Happytime Murders
A woefully unfunny comedy from Brian Henson, son of Jim. After a series of murders of puppets from a former TV series, a private investigator has to team up with cop Melissa McCarthy to find out who is committing the crime. Having muppet-style puppets having sex and swearing every other word a comedy does not make and you find yourself getting angry that you wasted your time watching a poor man's Meet The Feebles, which was terrible as well. Avoid.

Stir Crazy
Hilarious comedy with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor as best friends who leave New York for a better life but find themselves accused of bank robbery and thrown in prison. While there, Wilder shows he has a knack for rodeo that could help them escape. The film works because Wilder and Pryor play off each other so well that you can't help but laugh. Director Sidney Poitier gives them room to do what they do best.
