The first Sam Mendes Skyfall videoblog has turned up over at 007.com. There's zilch in the way of set footage and it's all generic EPK chatter without any behind-the-scenes insight at all (see The Hobbit production diaries for some superb, in-depth Peter Jackson action). But as an intro to a series of video blogs, it proves three things about the American Beauty director: 1. He's intelligent and seems to know what he's doing. 2. He's rather lovely. And so is his beard. 3. The dude knows how to wear a hat. Interesting to note that they only use Casino Royale music in the background - no Bond theme or music from Quantum of Solace. They know they failed with the last one then. |

Happy Pancake Day everyone!
And remember, this is what happens if there are no pancakes: Can you think of any better movies featuring pancakes? |

Forget Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Bumhole, there's another re-release in UK cinemas that is way more important. I speak, of course, of Casablanca, Michael Curtiz's 1942 masterpiece that pretty much defines the phrase "classic movie". The wonderful Park Circus are distributing it in selected venues this month to celebrate its 70th anniversary - you can see the original Casablanca press notes send out by Warner Bros on the Park Circus blog here.
But in case you're not sure what you want to watch at the cinema this week, here's proof that no matter what mood you're in, you should go and see Casablanca:
Casablanca, one of the greatest movies ever made*, is on at the BFI until Thursday. Go see it. Or I'll make another flow-chart to prove how foolish you are. * (although it's no Season of the Witch) |

New Safe Trailer Could Be Very Misleading |

IMDb lists 2 films named Safe.
1. A housewife develops multiple chemical sensitivity. 2. An ex-Government agent tears apart New York's corrupt underworld.
Guess which one stars Jason Statham.
And it's that Safe that has a new trailer, complete with "spectacular action sequences and bone crunching fights". Either that, or it's a very misleading trailer for a Julianne Moore film. Safe is out in the UK on Friday 4th May. |

"There's a metronome here. Someone find it!"
That's the sound of inspiration in Ola Simonsson and Johannes Stjärne Nilsson's musical crime thriller.
That's right. Just when you thought the murder-filled world of Wallander and Lisbeth Salander couldn't get any cooler, the Swedes have come up with a whole new take on the genre: the world's first musical cop movie.
Murder. Snow. Drums. This is one of the best ideas for a movie I've seen in a long time. Watch the video below. And try not to tap your feet. Sound of Noise stars Bengt Nilsson, Sanna Persson Halapi, Magnus Borjeson and Johannes Bjork and is out in the US very soon (tip of the hat to First Showing). Now will someone PLEASE buy it and bring it to the UK?
If not, I'll go mad and kill someone with a bongo. |

If you ever wanted to see Will Poulter, Jason Flemyng, Jaime Winstone and Andy Serkis all on the same poster, Dexter Fletcher's Wild Bill has you covered: Will Bill plays out like a mature East London Western and is out in the UK on Friday 30th March - in short, it's brilliant. Here's our Wild Bill review from the London Film Festival, which described it as "Once Upon a Time in Stratford". |

Your Chance to Ask Sean Penn about The Cabin in the Woods |

With Joss Whedon on course to bring us a whopping THREE films this year - The Avengers, that surprise Much Ado About Nothing and this bloody horror - there's never been a better time to throw questions at the Firefly/Buffy/Dr. Horrible genius.
But why do that when Sean Penn is around? Mr. Film Actor's Guild himself, Penn's an amazing actor, but his unwavering ability to comment on non-cinema issues just keeps on going. Now, it stretches all the way from the Falklands and poverty to gay rights and Venezuela. So who better to ask about Cabin the Woods?
All you have to do is send us your questions and we'll chuck them into the big question pit, which Sean will work his way through in an epic fan interview. Example questions you could ask: Where does he stand on the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot? Why did Joss Whedon keep his Shakespeare adaptation so secret? How does Sean sleep at night now when Alan Tudyk keeps dying?
Oh fine, we'll just ask Joss Whedon instead. Tweet any questions you have @iFlicks (use the hashtag #cabininthewoods), post them on our Facebook page or email them to

. The Cabin in the Woods is out on Friday 13th April - head this way to see The Cabin in the Woods trailer. |

I fully expect my day to go something like this: If you're feeling ill too (let's face it, everyone is) then give yourself an extra painkiller for every film you can name. |
