The Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson has been jetting round the world to meet with potential cast members of The Hobbit.

I like to couple my film watching with Chinese food, ice-cream and doughnuts, as well as regular intervals in which I like to dance on the table to High School Musical! I’m a Zefron fan and proud!

It’s seasonal, and getting set on fire is way cooler than being honey-trapped by Natalie Portman in a tutu. Here’s our top 10 flaming film characters.

Before the legend of vampires went all vegan and sparkly and werewolves held about as much menace as a puppy dog, they were kick-ass in Underworld. Written by the then unknown Len Wiseman, Danny McBride and Kevin Grevioux, the franchise, which spawned two sequels and a prequel, infused these popular supernatural beings with a scientific…

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is a horrendous mishmash of CGI-dependent action sequences and poorly-paced unconvincing drama; but rather like a dwarf in a river-borne barrel, it bobs along rather nicely. Also like a dwarf, it carries quite a lot of extra flab around the middle, but its unassailable charisma and magnificent facial hair…

Katniss Everdeen is back in cinemas today with The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, in which she will once again rock out with a bow while namby pamby Josh Hutcherson makes croissants and cries for his mummy.
