What’s it about?
A teenager suspects his neighbour is a vampire. What? In this day and age? But what IF he really is…?
What did we think?
Anthony says: Not quite horror and not quite comedy, Fright Night is simply fun. A vampire movie either has to be suspenseful or an entertaining romp. This is the latter. A remake of the 80s film of the same name, Fright Night dishes out laughs and suspense in equal proportions. Colin Farrell and David Tennant steal the show.

What’s it about?
When the evil wizard Gargamel chases the tiny blue Smurfs out of their village, they tumble from their magical world into New York City.
What do we think?
Anthony says: The movie poster asks “Where the smurf are we?” I’m inclined to ask “what the smurf was that?” With a storyline from cliche central, there’s nothing truly engaging here if you’re above the age of 12. In fact, it seems to spend more time trying to appeal than actually coming up with an entertaining story.
They smurfed it up.

What’s it about?
A computer disk containing CIA secrets ends up in the hands of two unscrupulous everyday normal people who try to sell it.
What we think:
Anthony says It should have been Burnt Before Screening. Pretentious rubbish that attempts high-brow but can’t resist some cheap laughs and completely loses its way. Not even an all-star cast will keep you awake.

What’s it about?
A frail but stubborn youth is so determined to enlist to fight in WWII he volunteers for an experimental project that injects super serum into his body turning him into a superhero. Based on the Marvel comics character,
What did we think?
Anthony says: This movie simultaneously manages to demonstrate what can be great and awful about movies based on comics. The first half is impressive character building and backstory. Sadly the second half is just cheesy CGI and scenes fraught with plotholes.
