Let The Right One In Momentum Pictures, 16, 20 If you like blood on your snow and your winters to be dark, this highly unusual, Morrissey- referencing Swedish vampire horror is for you. It combines gruesome shocks with an exquisitely delicate love story this is teen angst with a chilling twist, elegantly filmed and beautifully acted. Gran Torino Warner Home Video, 15A, 23 Part heart-warming buddy movie, part unshowy reflection on masculinity, Gran Torino has strong echoes of the Western format Clint Eastwood knows so well. But growling Walt Kowalskis journey into understanding the complexities of modern life is a fresh new take: its so much more than Dirty Harry on Medicare. Killinaskully: The Whole Feckin Package RT, PG, 20 A 6-DVD collectors edition boxset featuring all the shenanigans and tomfoolery from the endearing country bumpkins. Every episode of Pat Shortts popular comedy including extras, bonus features and outtakes.

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen Paramount, 12A, 22 Michael Bays noisy turbocharged, special-effects saturated follow-up to 2007s Transformers has an impenetrable plot and is an hour too long. But it makes a good stocking filler especially for those who like the idea of Megan Fox (pictured) wearing precious little. Brno Universal Pictures, 18, 22 Sacha Baron Cohens mincing Austrian fashionista does a road trip across the US, guilelessly seducing its less enlightened citizens into revealing their bigotry. Outrageous and funny in equal measure. Star Trek Paramount, 12, 22 Director JJ Abrams revamps the Star Trek franchise with high-impact punch-ups, car chases, man-eating space monsters and a fresh-faced cast. Plenty of in-jokes for Trekkies but fun and accessible for everyone else. Moon Sony Pictures, 15, 22 Sam Rockwell gives a powerhouse performance as an astronaut grappling with loneliness and paranoia in one of the most intimate sci-fi films since 2002s Solaris. The directorial debut of Duncan Jones, son of David Bowie, is a beautifully crafted exploration of love and solitude.
