Meanies Season comes to Sky Movies
Are you a fan of all things catty and sassy? If so, then get ready for a fantastic week when Sky Movies Drama & Romance show some 'meanie' classics over six consecutive nights.

Natalie Portman angry at change of Thor 2 director
Marvel Studios are reportedly doing all they can to appease an angry Natalie Portman, after firing the director of Thor 2, which the actress is set to appear in.

Darren Aronofsky launches Noah’s Ark project
Darren Aronofsky is planning his biggest project yet, a £79 million retelling of the story of Noah's Ark. The director, who is still on a high from his Oscar success with Black Swan, has apparently been eyeing up the project based on the biblical story for a number of years. But now it looks like it's going to happen as several studios are...
Your Highness – a review
Your Highness looked so promising. The trailer was amusing, it's a mock medieval romp (which are usually enjoyable) and it has Americans pretending to be English, perfect. On top of that, there's the cast. Man of the moment James Franco, and recent Oscar winner Natalie Portman. It all sounded so good, so where did it go so wrong? It is...
New images for Your Highness have arrived
We first saw the trailer for Your Highness back in November and we loved what we saw. The official character posters have been released today and we have to say a lot has changed for the film's stars since back in November. Natalie Portman, a metal thong wearing warrior princess, is now an Oscar winning mum-to-be. And James Franco who...
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.

The BAFTAs – who won what
Awards season is now really in full swing but we have to say it's all rather predictable isn't it? Last night the Bafta's took place at London's Royal Opera House and surprise surprise The King's Speech came out on top. The film scooped seven awards in total, including Leading Actor for Colin Firth, Supporting Actor for Geoffrey Rush...
Super Bowl movie trailers 2011
Last night was the Super Bowl, which to most of us doesn't mean much but in the US is the sun around which everything else televisual orbits. And the planets with the most life are the adverts - which are the most expensive of the year. Without a doubt, this year it was movie trailers which dominated the ads. A total of 16 trailers were...
Firth and Portman take the gold at the SAG awards
The 2011 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards last night marked another step on the road to the Academy Awards - but shone their spotlight on the films we're used to seeing awards for by now - Black Swan, The King's Speech, et. al.

LFF Review: Black Swan
Darren Aronofsky once again proves himself as one of the leading American independent film directors with his gloriously manic fifth feature, Black Swan.
