New DVD releases

HSCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD (12) is a clever and witty assault on the senses, a cross between a video game and a comic book with extra graphics and gimmicks. Michael Cera (pictured) plays our geeky-but-cool hero, a bass player in a band who meets the girl of his dreams, literally, in Mary Elizabeth Winstead. But to win her heart, he must first battle to the death with her seven evil exes. The great support cast includes Kieran Culkin and Anna Kendrick.
HPIRANHA 3D (18) is a fairly entertaining, tongue-in-cheek thriller about man-eating fish, starring Elisabeth Shue, Richard Dreyfuss and Kelly Brook. It comes with 3D glasses so you can fully enjoy all the gore.
HJONAH HEX (15) is a disappointing, messy and dull horror based on a DC Comics character, all flashy effects and no substance. Josh Brolin is a soldier-turned-bounty hunter, out for revenge on nasty John Malkovich. Megan Fox has little to do and even less to wear as a prostitute.
HTHE LAST EXORCISM (18) is a clever and gripping spoof documentary about a charismatic preacher, Patrick Fabian, who sets out to expose exorcisms as a scam but finds dark forces at work. The tension builds well, though the end is a let-down.
