With the upcoming MegaMind, Disney’s new baddie twist on Sleeping Beauty and Despicable Me, it looks like we may be ushering in the age of the anti-hero. Who cares about the good guys? It’s all about them blokes lurking about in the shadows.

Despite mixed reviews, the last Ice Age film, Dawn of the Dinosaurs, made $884 million worldwide – making it the second highest grossing animated film of all time! It seems kids everywhere love the historically-inaccurate antics of furry Paleolithic creatures, and who can blame them? So naturally 20th Century Fox have decided to hurry up and make the next Ice Age film, currently titled Continental Drift.

Curry, serial murdering, romantic comedy and zombie spirits suffocated by Nan dough – what on earth can go wrong? Bend It Like Beckham director Gurinder Chadha certainly serves up a comical and unique enough dish with It’s A Wonderful Afterlife, but it may be at the expense of anything vaugely resembling logic. There are so many bizarre twists and turns to this tale, that once consumed you can’t help wonder if you’re left with anything except indigestion.

Ten years of production, the development of a whole new stereoscopic technology and a marketing blitzkrieg so intense that even lost tribes in the jungles of Borneo are aware of it. The buzz around Avatar has been almost unprecedented – James Cameron’s long-awaited return to sci-fi has been panned, praised and everything in between even before it was released. Approaching Avatar with an open mind, we discovered one of the most jaw-droppingly beautiful and immersive films of recent years.

We love George Clooney. If there was ever a man who looks like he could build a log cabin using wood he chopped himself, mixing a martini at the same time, while wearing a tux with a perfectly crafted bow tie, it’s him. Seriously, which other actor could come back from the horror that was Batman & Robin to be one of Hollywood’s leading men? And if you don’t think that’s impressive, go ask Val Kilmer how life is treating him post Bruce Wayne duty.

Yippie Kay Yay, action fans, 20th Century Fox is talking to writer Skip Woods about penning the fifth Die Hard movie. Elderly action star Bruce Willis hinted in February that he could be back as John McClane in a sequel to 2007’s Die Hard 4.0 (Live Free and Die Hard to all you Americans out there) and since that movie made $378 million worldwide, you can’t blame Fox for wanting to milk a bit more money from the Die Hard cash-cow. Moo!

Whew, they don’t mess around much do they? Mere weeks after the epic critical success of Kick-Ass, Matthew Vaughn has announced that he will officially be donning the director’s trousers for X-Men: First Class. And apparently taking the mantle of the X-Men series isn’t enough pressure, as the team are planning a next year release – next June, to be exact. Who needs time when you’ve got the legacy of Hit-Girl and Big Daddy to spur you onwards, eh?

She – the writer/performer that shot to fame on Saturday Night Live, before penning Mean Girls and super-hit TV show 30 Rock. He – initially noticed in his hilarious roles in Anchorman and Bruce Almighty, who went on to star in the American Office and The 40-Year-Old Virgin. How can it possibly go wrong? Well it doesn’t, of course. But that doesn’t mean it went totally right, either. Despite being an enjoyable romp, we couldn’t help but be a little disappointed in Date Night

The first Iron Man was the surprise hit of 2008 and propelled Robert Downey Jr back into super-stardom. It was the first movie from Marvel Studios, the Marvel comic group’s own production company, and was hailed as a huge success. So just two years after the first movie, Robert Downey Jr is back as the eccentric billionaire Tony Stark. But is the sequel any good? Well, no. Not really.

It’s been a bestselling novel and a London stage hit. Now War Horse is set to run on the big screen, courtesy of an adaptation by mega-director Steven Spielberg.
