The adventures ofThe Inbetweenerslook like theyre coming to an end, asThe Inbetweeners Moviehits the big screen. We had a very small period of time, from when the film was conceived until now.

Wondering what games to spend your cash on this Christmas? Looking past that, which big incoming games should you be really excited about? And then, this week, something happened and suddenly those forums are singing a different song. Chuck in some spiffing use of 3D and new hanglider and underwater sections, and Im sold. Could this be the pinnacle of PS3 gaming? This time the whole city has become an asylum, and youre here to deliver the medicine....

That its not very good probably didnt help its fortunes, either. Thats right, $4,600. Im a big fan of Brodys work. Here, I just feel sorry for him and not in the way I was meant to. Why has he been in a car crash? And why is there a dead guy in the back seat and bags of money in the trunk? Oh, the intrigue and mystery! I checked how much longer the film had to go three times and thats never a good sign....

Positioned in front of Brendan Gleeson, as your intrepid interviewer entered the room, was a low table. So low, in fact, that said interviewer didnt notice it until his leg crashed into it. Just for good measure, he repeated the trick on the way out, too. Photos of the bruising are available on request. In better news, Brendan Gleeson was on fine form, and he had good reason to me....

Its a comedy, gangster picture, moody drama, and a masterpiece of filmmaking. Harry:What do you mean its not really his thing? Whats that supposed to mean? Its not really his thing. What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Ken:Nothing, Harry. Harry:Its a fairytale town, isnt it? Hows a fairytale town not somebodys fucking thing? In fairness to the marketing and advertising suits, however, how exactly wouldyoumarketIn Bruges? Where would you pigeonhole it?...

Note: This interview was undertaken the day after the London riots. Its an interesting time for your film to be coming out. Rupert Wyatt:I think so. Hopefully, any films we do in the future will continue to explore more of that. Ad content continues below RW:No, Andy was the obvious choice. Very early on we decided to go with performance capture rather than live apes. RW:Yes, mainly because unlike the original films we were dealing with real apes....

Richard Ayoades feature debut, Submarine, arrives on DVD. Hes not a bad boy without moral values hes just a teenager in love. Craig Roberts carries the film as the central character. He may be pretentious, but hes never dislikeable. Roberts performs with conviction, showing hes a talented actor with wonderful comic presence. Richard Ayoades film is beautifully shot, and he adopts a personal, warm style of filming. His script, based on the book by Joe Dunthorne, creates a world familiar to many of us....

Elsewhere, he memorably played Steve the Pirate inDodgeball(Steves gotta go drain the sea-monster! ), and has lent his vocal talents to animated features such asIce AgeandRango. What drew you to work onTucker And Dale Vs Evilin the first place? The script; just the idea. But he did, and thats exciting to me, something new and hard to pull off.

Ad content continues below Your role in Pappys is as the authority figure. Is that quite a demanding role? I never really feel stressed on stage. The other thing people seem to think a lot is that Im genuinely angry....

John Carpenter, Wes Craven, Sam Raimi, and even Peter Jackson are some examples. So why isnt Spielberg seen in the same light, as a horror director done good? An auteur in his field, he is the directors director. Horror, in its current incarnation, is cheap, streamlined, and gritty. Think about his body of work in the late 70s and early 80s. Each film is set or based around something very, very familiar....

The Fifth Doctor, for the first time, was a deliberate reaction against his predecessor. An explorer with no other agenda than just wandering around looking for things that intrigued him. This got him a permanent job as script editor, having performed the role partially uncredited after Bidmead left. Saward had an idea for the direction of the show that required the character of the Doctor to change. The universe according to Eric was a more cynical place, where the Doctors idealism became misplaced....
