The Bestest FiIms Ever!
It's the biggest poll we've ever done, the longest list we've ever imagined and it's been compiled by some of the most famous filmmakers we know. Yes, prepare yourselves because we're only days away from announcing The 500 Greatest Movies Of Al Time. Voted for by you, us, other critics and the Hollywood elite, this definitive record of greatness charts the very best the silver screen has to offer. We'll be counting down the list in 100 film instalments (it's far too much for you to take in all at once) starting this Sunday so be sure to log on and let the sheer magnificence of it all wash all over you. To quote an extremely over-used line: "Best. Films. Ever."

Froat?

London Film Festival Preview
The LFF unveiled its line-up today, and as I suspected it was very solid. Pretty much all the buzz titles from Cannes were in there, with a few late-year heavyweights like Oliver Stone's W, Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire and even the new Bond, Quantum Of Solace, which has its public premiere the same night that Craig and co gather across the other side of Leicester Square. As I'd sort of intuited, too, The Brothers Bloom will be on the square as well, enjoying a gala screening courtesy of American Airlines. As I'm writing, Bloom just had its North American premiere in Toronto. Director Rian Johnson tells me, with some relief, that it went “OK”*, and I think the Odeon West End is the perfect place to see his conman love story. As you may have seen from the trade papers, notably Variety and Screen, Bloom isn't proving to be to all tastes. But the trades aren't exactly to all tastes either, and the fansites that took to Johnson's previous film Brick are digging it.

Robert Downey Jr. Video Interview
Quite possibly the comic highlight of the year, Tropic Thunder's Kirk Lazarus is a creation born of genius and we got the chance to talk to that genius. Robert Downey Jr sat us down for a chat about the action comedy, how he prepared for the role and whether or not he would go "full retard" in return for Oscar glory.

Jenna Jameson: Film Or Filth?
The Queen Of Porn, Jenna Jameson has put the smut to one side (well, sort of) for her first mainstream starring role as a stripping zombie in Zombie Strippers. In an effort to ascertain her knowledge of squeaky-clean cinema, we challenged the American legend to sort the real porn movies from the slightly dirty sounding mainstream flicks in a little game that we like to call, Film Or Filth?

Tropic Thunder 
There are moments of comedy grandeur, but this isn’t as consistently funny as you’d hope. Nevertheless, Downey Jr.’s Kirk Lazarus is instantly up there with the comedy greats.

A tropical sex comedy that’s a little unfocused, but Segal and co throw plenty of funniness at the wall - and most of it sticks.
