Cast: Liam Neeson, Frank Grillo, Dermot Mulroney Director: Joe Carnahan The world is inhabited by people who seem alive, but are really like zombies, merely existing than living.

Cast: Taylor Kitsch, Rihanna, Alexander Skarsgard, Brooklyn Decker, Liam Neeson Director: Peter Berg If the only yardstick you're meant to use while judging an action blockbuster is the number of gigantic explosions it contains, then Battleship, from Hancock director Peter Berg, belongs right up there with the big boys.

Cast: Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Rosamund Pike Director: Jonathan Liebesman 'Wrath of the Titans' has better action set-pieces and uses special effects a little more judiciously than 2010's campy 'Clash of the Titans'. The film's plot however, is still a hoot, and exists only to provide some catch-your-breath moments in the middle of all that wall-to-wall action. What this sequel is missing clearly is the cheesy sensibility of the earlier...
