Top 5 Releases To Look Out For This Christmas

There isn't long now until Christmas and inevitably the end of 2010, but there are a few more releases in and outside of the cinema that you might want to think about getting in line for...
5. SUPER MARIO ALL STARS: 25TH ANNIVERSARY- As the title shows, our good friend Mario is 25 whole years old now (in the real world, anyway), so this Wii re-release of his original adventures, Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 2, Super Mario Bros 3 & The Lost Levels should be worth a look for fans. At only £20, and featuring a history booklet and soundtrack spanning everything to Galaxy 2, it's a real collector's item!
4. GULLIVER'S TRAVELS- Jack Black, Catherine Tate, Billy Connelly and James Corden all star in this comedy adaptation of the classic novel (which also served as the inspiration for a theme park) about a man amongst a world of midgets. Yes, really.
3. HARRY POTTER: FILM WIZARDRY- The HP saga is coming to a close next summer, but before that is this new book which features a menagerie of classic Rowling creations (e.g. Galleons) which we caught glimpses of in the films but never got a proper look at. For £15, this should be a worthy contender for your cash!
2. NARNIA: VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER- Prince Caspian proved a real let-down for the Narnia adaptations with its lack of magic and thus heart, so it falls to Voyage to restore the glory subtly glimpsed in The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe when it was its best. Can it do it? Judging by the trailers...yes!
1. TRON: LEGACY- This tops my Most Wanted list this Christmas despite never having seen the original Tron (which I'm told is a sci-fi classic) simply as the combination of Jeff Bridges, Olivia Wilde and so many other big names might just have to be seen to be believed...expect my review on each of these releases in December!
