Hello, good evening and welcome! -

I knew I wanted to see this from the moment I saw Christoph Waltz.

In my experience, we usually reserve that section for those who are (or were) signed to one or more of the major modelling agencies. If someone could provide us with that info for Constance, I’d be happy to move it back.

I'm far from being the biggest Swift fan, but that Vogue ed is stunning.

Selma. Now this one really surprised me. I went in expecting an epic biography of the man, but it was actually quite a modest film and all the better for it. The narrower focus really allowed it to get to grips with the detail of the issues involved. A powerhouse performance from David Oyelowo too, just the right mix of historical figure and real human being. Absolutely staggering that he wasn't considered for the Oscar this year.

The comp looks awesome, Kev. Leaving the nominations to the pros, but I promise to vote.

The fans deserve a collective medal for watching what their team turned into under Lambert. His time at Norwich yielded a side jumping with craft and positivity, but his spell at Villa seemed to mirror that of Martin O'Neill at Sunderland. Martin became so entrenched in a mindset of not wanting to lose that his cautiousness started to bleed into the way we played. As the months ticked by, he got more and more negative, leaving the squad devoid of confidence. That kind of decline can be hard to stop once it starts, although there's still a very decent team in there if someone can get Benteke firing on all cylinders. Who would you like to see come in, Fred?

If it comes down to a straight choice between another Peter Parker origin story or a Miles Morales one then I'd go with Miles, but ideally Garfield would just arrive in the MCU fully-formed. I like the idea of a new Peter movie that also launches Miles for the future, with a view to a big 'passing of the torch' moment that really means something.

'ASM2' was 2014's 'Man of Steel' in terms of how divided critical opinions and fan reactions were, which was a shame as I'd hoped for it to generate some real momentum for the series. I for one enjoyed it, not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but bold, punchy and generally likeable. I must say though, I'm on board for Spidey being a part of the MCU for the foreseeable future, as well as Feige having an influence over the direction of future movies. On a side note, it's looking unlikely that Andrew Garfield will be a part of the new film. Sony is reportedly now thinking of building it around Miles Morales instead of Peter Parker.

Note to self: be careful what you wish for! I've always said, I can live with being outclassed. Last night, we were beaten by an inferior team with a vastly superior work ethic. It was the type of game that any side worth their salt would have had wrapped up inside half an hour, but we seem incapable of making fast starts. Yet another case of one step forward and two steps back, every time we try and capitalise on an opportunity to slingshot ourselves up the league and away from danger, we unravel completely.

I would have preferred for Sony to have just sold the rights back to Disney/Marvel, but I'm cautiously optimistic at the possibilities of this deal. Presumably, a Spider-Man cameo in 'Civil War' is now virtually a certainty.

I don't believe the figures being bandied about for a second, $20m was the (then) world record salary Peter Jackson received to direct 'King Kong' and that was only after 'Return of the King' had cleaned up at the Oscars. Jolie isn't that much of a draw as a director yet, but all things considered, it's an idea I could get behind. Her involvement would be a nice feather in Marvel's cap after the whole Edgar Wright debacle. Although of course, the actress they get to play Captain Marvel is going to be the bigger issue overall.
-
Yeah, I thought 'Chronicle' was a little gem of a movie, albeit one that was hidden beneath the irritating and unnecessarily distracting 'handheld footage' format. I really like the idea of Grimm emerging from rock, instead of just transforming into it. Should make for a great spectacle on the big screen. Obviously we don't have much to go on at the moment, but I get the feeling that if the trailer gives us an accurate feel of the tone and direction then we'll be getting, at very least, an enjoyable sci-fi flick. Also, Kate Mara's patented 'antelope that knows there's a lion nearby' look in full effect.
-
I quite like this idea. I haven't seen 'Unbroken' but I've heard good things about it, and we could do with having more prominent female film directors in mainstream Hollywood.

What with it being awards season and all, congratulations are surely in order for the producers of 'Harry Kane', the heartwarming underdog story of a plucky young lad who, on account of defying expectations, scoring a lot of goals, 'facking running about a bit' and (most crucially of all) being English, becomes a media darling. The actor playing the central character shows great commitment to his role, although the writers will have to be mindful in future of keeping the plot grounded and not making the storylines too far-fetched. Perhaps look for someone to lodge a £40m bid for him in the shark-jumping second sequel.
-
What do we think about this one, then? The whole furore surrounding Doom seems to made it fair game for an avalanche of hate and criticism, but whatever people might think about that, they've delivered a really impressive trailer. It appears to be doing everything possible to distance itself from the cartoonish and somewhat silly FF movies of a decade ago, and while some of the changes are going to be controversial, others look pretty refreshing. Overall, I'll reserve judgement until I see a bit more.

Official trailer. Very 'Interstellar'.
