Angst in her pants Released as Greta in the USA and re-titled for its straight-to-DVD UK release, Surviving Summer occupies an awkward space between (young) adult drama and tween coming-of-age fable. For while it's clear that star (and co-producer) Hilary Duff is keen to move on [ ... ]

Released on DVD & Blu-ray on Monday August 10 is comedy Paul Blart: Mall Cop, starring Kevin James as the bumbling shopping centre security guard who takes his job very seriously. He may have bitten off more than he can chew, however, when he decides to single-handedly take on a gang of criminals who have stormed the mall...

Extra Features
There is lots of stuff to be found on both the DVD and Blu-ray releases, kicking off with a hugely entertaining commentary with Kevin James and producer Todd Garner. There's also the usual deleted scenes and outtakes, and no less than 10 featurettes looking at various aspects of the movie. Most are fairly slight, but highlights include Mike V vs Mall Cop, which sees a pro skater take on mall security while spray painting, and Not Your Average Mall Cop which looks at the huge amount of on and off screen involvement James had in the film.

The Blu-ray also contains a digital copy of the film to download to your portable device, plus CineChat which allows you to send onscreen messages to friends as you watch the movie together. Ah, isn't that nice. 3 stars

Movie Highlight

Predators

Almost a quarter of a century ago, John McTiernan's Predator cast Arnie as an alien hunter extraordinare and thrilled audiences in the process. No matter that it stuttered as a franchise, with the recent Alien Vs Predator movies smacking of desperation; the original is now heralded as one of the pinnacle moments of Eighies action excess. And riding the wave of nostalgia for this decade that has driven recent reboots like Rambo and A Nightmare on Elm Street comes the all-newPredators, a glossy homage to its 1987 godfather that celebrates all that was great about the original while introducing the concept to a new, effects-savvy generation.

Micmacs

French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet may not be the most prolific of film-makers, having made just 11 movies in the past 32 years, but he's certainly one of the most interesting. And just as there were 10 years between his masterpiece Delicatessen (1991) and Amelie (2001), so nearly a decade has passed since Jeunet introduced the world to the quirky delights of Paris as seen through the wide eyes of Audrey Tautou, meaning the time is right for another slice of French cinema Jeunet-style. And even though Micmacs doesn't have the charming Ms Tautou at the helm, it's still an utterly beguiling piece of pure entertainment.
