Small Screen – This week’s top ten DVDs…

  1. Nim’s Island
  2. Novel approach… A young girl from an isolated island seeks helps from the reclusive author of her favourite adventure books when her father goes missing. Also features a whale.

  3. Never Back Down
  4. It’s a knockout… A rebellious teen is drawn into joining an underground fight club at his new school. He learns mixed martial arts from a wise mentor then kicks and punches people in the face.

  5. 27 Dresses
  6. Always the bridesmaid… A lovelorn serial bridesmaid reevaluates her life when her sister bags the man she fancies. It’s a romantic comedy, apparently.

  7. Awake
  8. Under the knife… Hayden Christensen plays a man who ‘wakes up’ during heart surgery only to discover his entire surgical team are trying to kill him. Shame he woke up really.

  9. Vantage Point
  10. Points of view… An attempted assassination is seen from a number of different perspectives – high, low, left, right, skewed, I could go on – in this jigsaw-like mystery thriller.

  11. 10,000 BC
  12. Troubled times… This prehistoric epic sees a young hunter going to mammoth lengths to secure the future of his tribe. MAMMOTH lengths!

  13. Step Up 2: The Streets
  14. A young woman pursues her dream of becoming a street dancer by wearing skimpy vests and dancing in the rain. She’ll catch her death!

  15. Son of Rambow
  16. Child’s play… Coming-of-age film in which two schoolboys set out to make their own sequel to Sylvester Stallone’s Rambo: Film Blood. Chances are they’ll do a better job than this year’s actual sequel, Rambo.

  17. In Bruges
  18. Firing line… A pair of Irish hit men lie low in Belgium after a bungled job in London. They try to adapt to local customs but fail and shoot stuff.

  19. Meet The Spartans
  20. The spoof is (still) out there… The ‘creative’ team behind Date Movie and and Epic Movie rely on 300, Spider-Man 3 and Transformers for their latest parody. Their mothers must be proud.
