The most complete Darth Vader costume ever to reach auction is to be auctioned for an expected price of nearly a quarter of a million pounds. Gosh.

In 2012 Batman will return in The Dark Knight Rises, but with no Riddler, who the fudge will he be doing battle against?!

Not content with getting us all in a flutter with Top Gun 2 news, our favourite scientologst (and seriously, that’s top of a big list) has set the film world a-flame once again with rumours that he’ll be appearing in musical Rock Of Ages. Singing? Dancing? Presumably platform disco shoes? We’re pretty much in.

Legend of the Guardians is a CGI fantasy kids film featuring a war between owl empires. Starring Australians, directed by Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen) and based on a novel, this is a quirky cinematic treat worth paying the IMAX ticket price for. Did we mention it features owls?

The subject of our antepenultimate visit to the BFI London Film Festival, Dear Doctor is a film made with all the grace one would expect of Japanese cinema. However, although its pace may be too slow for hyperactive Western audiences, its message is as relevant here as it is anywhere in the developed world. This is a beautiful film.

Watching Alpha And Omega is essentially like watching an hour and a half of deleted cut-scenes from a 90s Sonic The Hedgehog Sega game, if the special effects were worse and it was made by a suspected sex offender. Dull, unfunny and bizarrely adult in parts, under no circumstances should you or your children be subjected to this.

Based on the wildly successful Beverly Cleary books of the 1980s and 90s, Ramona and Beezus looks like another saccharine romp starring a slightly overdeveloped High School Musical-esque tween and a nauseating pseudo-Matilda brat. Happily, in this case appearances are deceiving – novice director Elizabeth Allen provides a skilfully updated treat for children and nominated supervisory adults alike.

Warner Brothers has rescinded its decision to move The Hobbit away from New Zealand following disputes with actors’ unions.

Hurrah for the bloody goriness that is Guy Fawkes day! A proud, dastardly time indeed in our national history, and a great excuse to give children some fire to mess around with. So considering the film world is usually so ready and willing to hijack our most exciting tales, our question is, where are the films to accompany Bonfire Night?

Bruce Willis. Morgan Freeman. John Malkovich. Dame Helen Mirren. These are hefty names. It might seem reasonable to assume that a film capable of bringing them together would be pretty bloody special, mightn’t it? Unfortunately, it seems that all it takes is a production company with very deep pockets. Seeing Red is a truly unhappy experience which you are advised to avoid.
