If you're looking for a bit of DVD froth and fun on the couch on a cold winter's night, what could be better than a Julia Roberts/Clive Owen rom-com-caper? The dialogue is witty, the stars are charismatic and it has plenty of laughs.

Some of the plot gets a bit convoluted and it has a few moments of over-the-top silliness, but in general it won't tax your brain and is a nice, stay-at-home date flick.

And if 'nice' isn't your thing, you can always check out director/screenwriter, Tony Gilroy's earlier and meatier, Michael Clayton -- or more explosive Bourne franchise.

Consensus: Well-crafted, smart, and often funny, but it's mostly more cerebral than visceral and features far too many plot twists..

If thoughts of gore and hockey masks make you nostalgic, then get yourself down to Crystal Lake, happy campers, because Jason is having a reboot.

This is number 12 in the franchise and despite the rather shaky Tomatometer rating, it is unlikely to be the last; this film is made for sequels. While it's not a brilliant re-imagining of the franchise, it does stay true to form, providing a hefty helping of creative deaths.

Consensus: Though technically well-constructed, Friday the 13th is a series rehash that features little to distinguish it from its predecessors.

Once again Hollywood has taken a truly haunting and terrifying Korean film and remade it as a perfectly adequate horror. Based on A Tale of Two Sisters , The Uninvited explores family dysfunction under the weight of ghosts, dread and evil new girlfriends.

It is quite scary in parts, and really -- you're just asking for trouble when you live in a big house by a lake with that many corridors and doors. And seriously, don't keep a bell in the house: it's creepy and will only ring at odd times of the night.

The two sisters, played by Emily Browning and Arielle Kebbel, are a little stiff and two-dimensional but ludicrously good looking, and Elizabeth Banks shows off her versatility.

Consensus: Moody and reasonably involving, but suffers from predictable plot twists.
