Dark Knight Rises: third trailer now online
For those salivating at the prospect of a new Nolan Batman film, the third trailer for The Dark Knight Rises should help you survive until release date.

The Dark Knight Rises – news on setting and prologue
Batfans will be excited to hear that Christopher Nolan has finally revealed some juicy news about the next Batman film. The Dark Knight Rises will be set eight years after The Dark Knight, which ended at a rather crucial time for our hero. In an effort to give the people of Gotham hope and keep the image of the White Knight alive, Batman...
Mr. Nobody – DVD review
Mr. Nobody, starring Jared Leto and Diane Kruger is something of a rarity, in that even when you have little idea about what exactly is going on, it’s still very much enjoyable. It was one of my main criticisms of Christopher Nolan’s Inception – not enough people understood it. Yet for all its special effects, Inception lacked the...
Another Dark Knight Rises character appears
As The Dark Knight Rises slowly progresses towards its release date, more details are being revealed to make it one of the most anticipated films of 2012.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt to play Alberto Falcone in new Batman
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, everyone's favourite baby-faced underdog, who proved himself not-so underdog-esque in Inception, is due to play gangster Alberto Falcone in The Dark Knight Rises. Anyone who's read the seminal Batman noir, The Long Halloween knows that Alberto Falcone is an extremely important character, and probably one of the darkest...
Snubbed talents presumably miffed at last night’s Oscars?
If I was one of the many actors, directors and other film-industry talents who wasn't even considered for an Academy Award this year despite my film being all over the rest of the list, I'd be upset. But who are they? There's a lot of debate on the topic at present, so soon after the awards ceremony itself, even in The Guardian - in the Friday...
Oscars – the awards that got ignored
The awards season finally came to a close last night at the 83rd Oscars. After weeks of speculation, there were no surprises, in fact if we hear The King's Speech mentioned one more time we'll scream. So, instead of boring you all with what you already know and who looked good on the red carpet (quickly though - yay! Natalie Portman), we thought...
The TFR 2011 Oscars Round-Table
This year's Oscars are, as always, hotly contested, so we find out what predictions our TFR staffers are making for this weekend's big reveal.

Superman rumours- Goode as Clark?
There have been lots of rumours flying around over the last two days about casting for the upcoming Zach Snyder Superman movie. Apparently Brit actor Matthew Goode, who you may recognise from A Single Man or another Snyder film Watchmen, is the favourite for the role. He might not have the hunky physique that Clark Kent has just yet,...
Buffy the Vampire Slayer gets cinematic reboot
Reboots are all the rage at the moment, the latest being Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Except, the latest version of the stake-wielding teen to be given the cinematic treatment will go ahead without Whedon himself. After writing the script for the hugely popular TV series, which starred Sarah Michelle Gellar, it has been confirmed...
Inception: brilliant or baffling?
For all the hype surrounding Christopher Nolan's latest film, Inception, I found myself leaving the cinema feeling somewhat bemused. In an attempt to appear a little less clueless, I inevitably began eavesdropping on snippets of conversation from other audience members - was their mission successful? Are we all living in a dream? And, most...
