I think everyone can agree that the first Paddington movie was not only a fitting retelling of Michael Bond's beloved children's character, but was a fantastic example of what you can do with a family film when you find a near-perfect balance of adorable whimsy and genuine humour. However, proving that you can't keep a marmalade fueled Peruvian bear down, we only had to wait three years for director Paul King to try and best his near-perfect first attempt.

It's been a long wait since November 26. In that time, HBO managed to squeeze in four whole episodes of It: Welcome To Derry which managed to whet our appetites for kids warring with reality warping boogeymen while the Hawkins gang got their second wind. But regardless on whether you think Netflix's release plan is flawed, or you got drawn into how ruthless It could get, who have to admit that episode 4 of Stranger Things 5 left us with a helluva cliffhanger that teased and promised of epic battles to come - however, if any of you have been paying attention over the last nine years, we shouldn't be expecting them right away.

As the horror genre barreled its way through the great remake goldrush of the 2000s, virtually every famous and half famous fear flick managed to score itself a redux that, for about 92% of the time, was completely worthless - so it was only going to be a matter of time before some bright spark was going to latch onto Bob Clark's seasonal shocker, Black Christmas.

Do you ever watch an episode of a show and realise that it could be building up to something huge? Well, after a season premiere that caught us up with all the players involved in the crazed world of Fallout, we couldn't help but notice that extremely conspicuous by their absence were the Brotherhood Of Steel,the religious order that aims to try and bring order to the dystopian American wasteland with Knight's clad in hulking robot armour.

Fresh from trying to drive Bob Hoskins insane in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and before he lept into the mind scrambling time travel of Back To The Future II, Robert Zemeckis decided to give himself the ultimate pallet cleaner from gibbering Toons and paradoxical farces and deliver a good old killer Santa adventure. But while Tales From The Crypt was always a show willing to take risks (Explicit gore!

Just in case you were wondering, it isn't just Die Hard and various Shane Black thrillers that are the only actioners to take place at Christmas. In fact, in 2000, John Frankenheimer, the legendary director behind The Manchurian Candidate and French Connection II, took aim at the festive season with Reindeer Games, a cynical thriller that sees a case of mistaken identity spiral out of control when a newly released con finds himself roped in to supply info for a casino robbery he has no idea about.

While 1984 was the year we got the undisputed king of infamous Christmas slasher movies with Silent Night, Deadly Night, there was another film released the same year that strived to match it for Santa-themed sleaze. But while the misadventures of Billy Chapman gave us the quintessential killer-dressed-as-Santa movie, Don't Open Till Christmas went down another route entirely. While one movie featured someone killing people dressed as Father Christmas, the other featured a someone killed people dressed as Father Christmas in quite possibly one of the only seasonal themed, British Giallo movie that I've ever come across.

Marvel have released the first teaser for Avengers: Doomsday. The film is released December 18, 2026. RETURN TO MARVEL TRAILERS

Tweeness is an underrated virtue. OK, sure, when that hand is overplayed in any film, let alone a family film, it can be overwhelming and off-puttingly disingenuous. And yet, if you get the levels right, it can be a powerful force that helps you forget that your world may be going to Hell in a handbasket for a few hours as it leaves you feeling toasty and safe. Plenty of films over the last couple of decades that have set themselves in England has locked into the whole cozy, tea and crumpets fantasy world, with the early Harry Potter entries, the Narina films and virtually everything Aardman has ever done leaning heavily on dry, British wit and lovable eccentrics.

You'd think that world building in the realms of action/sci-fi would have been a snap after the Wachowski Siblings dropped The Matrix on us back in 1999. During that time, everyone from the X-Men to the Wachowskis themselves have tried to duplicate the steely cool of cramming rather complex set-ups into action flicks as quickly and succinctly as they can while making sure there's still enough room to blow a ton of shit up.

If there was any doubt about the ability of the Coen Brothers to conjure up flawless and varied crime epics that effortlessly straddled the divide between haunting and quirky, then they were all but dispelled by the Oscar win for No Contry For Old Men. A suitably dread laden chase film that originally sprang from the pen of Cormac McCarthy, it was the latest example that the brothers were practically unmatched when it comes to movies about small crimes have big ramifications.

James Gunn announced on X that he has found the actor to play the villain in Man Of Tomorrow. German actor Lars Eidinger, known for Berlin Babylon, All The Light We Cannot See, and White Noise, has come out on top of a worldwide search that has seen numerous others mentioned. First appearing in Superman #242, Brainiac is a super-intelligent android who explores the universe to collect its knowledge.

It's an undisputed fact that James Cameron is the king of sequels as Aliens and Terminator 2 will attest; however, in all his years the man who rules the box office has never actually delivered a trilogy - which is pretty crazy when you think about it. Well, with Avatar: Fire And Ash, big Jim finally scrubs helming a threequel off his bucket list as his galaxy spanning juggernaut gets its trilogy capper.

Oh sure, HBO managed to change the face of television with the Sopranos, but when it came to altering the type of content you could see on the small screen, then one of the real trailblazers turned out to be a five foot five corpse with a fondness for excruciating dad jokes. I am, of course, referring to Tales From The Crypt - the horror anthology show that ran from 1989 to 1996 that not only pushed the boundaries of showing violence, gore, nudity and swearing on TV without those pesky censors getting involved, but had a wealth of Hollywood heavyweights backing it up.

What possesses a director at the height of their powers to suddenly decide to tackle a remake? Is it ego? Is it the urge to envisage a beloved movie through the window of their own image? Or is it the sign of an artist running dry of ideas and choosing to play things nice and safe? Well, when it comes to Martin Scorsese, the last one is obviously false; but still the question remains: after flying high on the critical accolades for Goodfellas (arguably his finest hour), why would Marty suddenly turn his attentions to remaking J.

Sony have released a new trailer for Anaconda. You’ll laugh until you’re blue in the face. THIS IS NOT A REBOOT.

Possibly my most favorite thing about so-called "final chapters" is that they very seldom actually are. Jason Vorhees famously got 2, the X-Men's Last Stand was anything but and if you genuinely believe that Halloween Ends will be the final ride of Michael Myers, I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you. So it's no big surprise that the hefty Puppet Master series managed to score an ineffectual cinematic ending of its own despite continuing for at least another 11(!) episodes.

Apple TV are moving forward with a prequel to Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters with the focus on Wyatt Russell's Lee Shaw character and expand the history of Legendary's Monsterverse. Russell and his father, Kurt, both played the character in the original series as it is set in different time periods. The elder Russell will carry on playing Shaw in the second season of…
