Released on Mon Nov 17

22 Jump Street

(Sony, cert 15, Blu-ray/DVD/digital)

Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum return for more bromantic chuckles – this time they go to college – in a comedy so uber-infra-meta referential it threatens to implode.

Human Capital

(Arrow, cert 15, DVD/digital)

A cyclist’s death lifts the stone on a super-rich Italian family in a drama so chilled its moral message barely intrudes. The remarkable Valeria Bruni Tedeschi stars.

Earth to Echo

(E One, cert PG, Blu-ray/DVD/download)

Teenage guys on their bikes find an alien. This is how robust Spielberg’s ET is: that it can be re-written idea for idea and it not only survives but thrives. A charmer.

The Purge: Anarchy

(Universal, cert 15, Blu-ray/DVD/download)

John Carpenter’s Escape from New York is the template for this dark, electro-synthed guilty-pleasure sequel, about a night of lawless mayhem on LA’s streets.

How to Train Your Dragon 2

(Fox, cert PG, Blu-ray/DVD/download)

There’s a massed-armies, they-shall-not-pass LOTR quality to this scenic, busy animated sequel about a Viking juvenile called Hiccup and his friendly dragon.

Monty Python Live (Mostly)

(Eagle Rock, cert E, Blu-ray/DVD)

The O2 show for those who didn’t go. The Pythons enjoy themselves and there are enough reminders of their uniqueness to make this more than light-ent spam.

Transformers: Age of Extinction

(Paramount, cert 12, Blu-ray/DVD/digital)

Mark Wahlberg replaces Shia LaBeouf while director Michael Bay tinkers with the robots v robots formula, but it’s still like being shouted at in an echo chamber.

Box Sets

Downton Abbey Series 1-5

(Universal, cert 12, Blu-ray/DVD)

Series six of the Sunday evening phenomenon is on the way. Until then a five series data-dump, plus Christmas episodes and a doc on Downton manners

Peaky Blinders Series 1&2

(2entertain, cert 18, Blu-ray/DVD)

Two series of “the Brummie Boardwalk Empire” – Cillian Murphy, Helen McCrory, Sam Neill and Tom Hardy, wobbly accents, outrageous caricature and brilliant storytelling.

Withnail & I

(Arrow, cert 15, Blu-ray/DVD)

Find your favourite line (“We’ve gone on holiday by mistake”?) in the four-disc blu-ray debut of Bruce Robinson’s 1987 cult film, restored and with lots of extras.
