I’ve just received news from Studiocanal that they are bringing Paddington Bear to the big screen. Harry Potter producer David Heyman will be working with Studiocanal on a CGI live action adaptation of Michael Bond’s classic children’s books.

I’m going to have to revisit both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, I enjoyed both but neither excited me particularly. They were a little serious for me. I like my superheroes to be a bit more amusing….

Marvel have released a new trailer for this summer’s superhero mash-up The Avengers and I think it’s looking pretty bloody good.

The full trailer for The Iron Lady, the Margaret Thatcher biopic has arrived online and it appears to show a fairly sympathetic portrayal of the former Prime Minister and her life. Early word came out on Twitter yesterday which seemed to imply that the Daily Mail critic enjoyed the film and the Guardian critic hated it. So no tribalism there then….
