Cliff Richard gets together with his ol’ buddies The Shadows to release a grandma-friendly DVD release just in time for Christmas. All the old classics are there, like, y’know… that one about Young Ones, and dolls that come to life to cry and walk at you. Why not buy it and figure out why the chamois-faced crooner is still so popular? Or maybe not.

Presumably, you only went along to the first Night at the Museum to keep the kids quiet for a couple of hours, but you might have found yourself pleasantly surprised. Not so this sequel, with its muddled plot, tired-looking effects and idiotic slapstick humour.

Before you let out that hangdog, undone sigh and bemoan the state of the universe you might want to reflect on the finer details.

The rumors are true. It’s not a practical joke, Monopoly the movie is in the making. Universal, Ridley Scott and Hasbro games are in production with a film that will most definitely be another one of those which make us recoil with embarrassment. A guy gets sucked gets sucked into the Monopoly world – need we say more?

Poor old Daniel. Almost all teenagers suffer suspicious parents when it comes to the issue of drugs, but very rarely does the entire world insist on rooting through your pants..

In the grand tradition of celebrities mouthing off about social policy as if they’re highly educated experts on the subject, Michael Caine has announced he’d support the return of national service as a way to pull England’s troubled youths into line.

If even the Facebook founders are getting their own film, surely it’s only fair that the global good-doers of Greenpeace get a chance on the silver screen? Fortunately,  director Jon..

Johnny Depp and Tim Burton’s seventh film together, Alice in Wonderland is set for release early next year.
