Trailer

"Light the fuse," says Ethan Hunt (Cruise) at the end of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol's opening, cueing that iconic Lalo Schifrin theme tune. It's the perfect introduction to Brad Bird's entry in the franchise: it's action-packed, it's over-the-top, and it absolutely knows it. 

In any other film, kicking off with a riotous prison escape to the tune of Ain't That A Kick In The Head may seem ridiculous, but Brad Bird's only just getting started. Within a matter of minutes Tom Wilkinson has turned up, all government suit and world-weary accent, and someone has said the immortal line: "We're going to break into the Kremlin".

After a week of G.I. LOLs, Tommy Lee Jones impressions, Sacha Baron Cohen turning Dictator and The Expendables 2 trailer, it's hard to pick the silliest video of the week.

Then you see this:

Yes, Rock of Ages has ghetto-blasted its own trailer onto the web and Hairspray director Adam Shankman has somehow combined Paul Giamatti, Alex Baldwin, Russell Brand, Catherine Zeta-Jones and a topless Tom Cruise to make what it surely the biggest pile of bouldersash of all time. And that includes the New Year's Eve trailer.

Read on to watch the indisputable winner of the trailer of the week award. And then laugh at it some more. 

You're stuffed full of food. You're tired of your presents. You know Westfield is too crowded to do any shopping. What can fill that Boxing Day void? Family? You saw them all yesterday. TV? Apart from Bugsy Malone (11am) and Home Alone (7pm) on Channel 4 - and the obligatory showings of The Wizard of Oz, Singin' in the Rain and a Harry Potter movie - there isn't much to watch. Unless you're prepared to stay up till 2am for that seasonal classic Vertigo on ITV.

So here are six things you can do to make sure Boxing Day isn't boring:

1. Blow up the Kremlin

It'll take your mind off the indigestion at least.

This new Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol clip made my Thursday evening a lot more fun:

Adobe Flash Player not installed or older than 8.0.39!

No, Renner's comic timing isn't as polished as Simon Pegg's, but that makes it far more believable. Compare that to Anthony Hopkins in M:I-II. And then be glad that Brad Bird is at the helm.

M:I-GP (as no-one is calling it) is out in cinemas on Boxing Day. Head this way to watch the full Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol trailer.

There's nothing like a bit of Lalo Schifrin while things blow up and people jump off really tall buildings.

Add in Simon Pegg, Brad Bird, Paula Patton and Jeremy Renner and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (aka Run, Tom Cruise, Run!) is looking pretty decent. Says the person who liked Mission: Impossible II. 

Tom Cruise runs into cinemas in December - until then, watch the first Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol trailer. A fiver says Tom Wilkinson turns out to be the bad guy.

I hang off really tall buildings in Dubai all the time. What, like I'm supposed to be impressed because Tom Cruise does it too?

Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol is out in cinemas on Monday 26th December. It continues to look annoyingly awesome. (Watch the Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol trailer.)

I hate it when trailers come along and look all good and stuff. And that's exactly what Brad Bird's Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol has gone and done. Although you do wonder how many high-rise buildings are left in the world for Ethan Hunt to climb.

Blamed for the terrorist bombing of the Kremlin, IMF operative Ethan Hunt is disavowed along with the rest of the agency when the President initiates “Ghost Protocol”. Left without any resources or backup, Ethan must find a way to clear his agency’s name and prevent another attack. To complicate matters further, Ethan is forced to embark on this mission with a team of fellow IMF fugitives whose personal motives he does not fully know.

There's something gruesomely hypnotic about watching someone's eyes being mutilated on screen.

Whether it's because body horror has an inherently skin-crawling effect or because removing a person's sight cuts off the very act of watching a film, there's nowt like seeing an eyeball get squished, squashed, sliced or stabbed into tiny bits of jelly.

Julia's Eyes continues this fine tradition of eyes within the horror genre (although not quite to the extreme of some of the Japanese stuff that's out there). From first-person shots to close-ups of injections, director Guillem Morales totally gets the relationship between our eyes and the camera. Which means he's probably seen some of the following...

Avert your gaze: here are some of the juiciest eyeball moments in film.

Well, the voting closed yesterday and after a full two minutes of counting your votes, I can confirm that the inaugural i-Flicks Falling Star Award has been decided.

2011's Falling Star is...

After The Last Airbender's paltry £4.2m takings in the UK, it's safe to say that The Sixth Sense director won't be given another franchise to start up any time soon. Ever since Signs, Shyamalan's been a bit pants, but Airbender (*fnarf* BENDER) put the final downward swing on his career. Unless Devil (aka HELLEVATOR) and the rest of the "Night Chronicles" (he used his name!) do ridiculously well on DVD. Spoiler: they won't.

Not happy with the result? Check out the other Falling Star nominees. For everyone else, don't worry: there's always the Orange Wednesdays Rising Star Award...

After the slight backlash on t'internet about the BAFTA Orange Wednesdays Rising Star Award, some wise person on The Twitter suggested they do the opposite. Instead of people who have "captured the imagination of the British public", why not reward the people who have taken the public's imagination and exchanged it for All About Steve?

These are the nominees for the inaugaral i-Flicks Falling Star Award. Their careers are all on a downward trajectory, as demonstrated by a critical/box office flop in the past year.

Voting for the Falling Star Award closes midnight Saturday 12th February.
