For his fourth film as director, Ben Affleck has returned to where he started with an adaption of another Dennis Lehane novel. Sadly, unlike that superb first effort (2007's Gone Baby Gone), this Prohibition-era gangster film is an oddly flat and lifeless affair that is primarily undone by Affleck's choice of leading man – himself.

A melting pot of mythology, romance, tragedy, social commentary and comedy, this 1991 film stars Jeff Bridges as cynical New York City radio shock-jock Jack Lucas, whose life falls apart when an unstable listener takes his latest hate-filled rant to heart and goes on a killing spree.

While foiling yet another of the villain's schemes to destroy Gotham City, Batman (Will Arnett) adds insult to injury by telling the Joker (Zach Galifianakis) that he isn't his greatest foe; the Caped Crusader prefers to promiscuously 'fight around'. Outraged by Batman's unwillingness to acknowledge the huge role he plays in his life, Joker plots his revenge.

Following the box office success of 1978's Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, director Yuen Woo-ping and star Jackie Chan immediately set about producing a second film together. And while it followed a very similar formula, Drunken Master (released later the same year) proved to be an even more accomplished blend of action and comedy.

Sleepwalking during her first night at a boarding school in the 'Swiss Transylvania', American student Jennifer Corvino (Jennifer Connelly) witnesses the brutal murder of another girl. Fleeing the scene, she eventually ends up at the home of local forensic entomologist John McGregor (Donald Pleasance) and his chimpanzee attendant, Inga. Learning of her unique ability to telepathically communicate with insects, John asks Jennifer to use her unusual talent to help him catch the psychopath who has been butchering girls at the school.

Suffering from shock and amnesia following a car crash on Mulholland Drive, a dark-haired woman (Laura Harring) takes refuge in a nearby apartment. Calling herself Rita, she befriends Betty (Naomi Watts), an aspiring actress who has just moved to Hollywood. Together they set about finding out who Rita really is and why she has a bag full of cash.

After a spate of mysterious deaths in his home town, 13-year-old Mike (Michael Baldwin) becomes convinced that strange things are afoot at the local mausoleum. With the aid of his older brother Jody (Bill Thornbury) and friendly ice-cream seller Reggie (Reggie Bannister), Mike discovers that a mysterious undertaker he dubs the Tall Man (Angus Scrimm) is robbing graves and transforming the corpses into an army of murderous dwarfs. So begins a decades-spanning battle for the fate of our planet…
