David Cronenberg and Robert Pattinson interview: Cosmopolis, capitalism and more

Note that the following contains one or twomild spoilersabout the movies plot developments. It just so happens that what Don [DeLillo, the author ofCosmopolis] wrote was prescient and clairvoyant. It felt more that the world was finally catching up with him! I mean, we knew that we werent! So isCosmopolisan anti-capitalist film?

Looking back at House, M.D.

But by the time the third season had come to a close, things had grown a little stale. It was the success story it became because of the stunning realisation of its central protagonist. Lets remember the things that made it great, and not the mistakes it made along the way.

The Iron Patriot: what he means for Iron Man 3

James tells us everything we need to know… But who is that, and why is it such a surprise? Its a simple question with an easy answer but one that can only lead to confusion. The only answer that works is that its someone else inside the suit. That remains to be seen. It could mean this is a modified version of Rhodes War Machine armour. It could mean that its a new suit reverse-engineered from the Starks....

Looking back at Rounders

We celebrate a hugely influential poker movie with a great cast. Read our look-back at John Dahl’s 1998 film, Rounders, here. For these dedicated grinders, this isnt a film, its a mission statement. The plot deals mainly with his struggle between two contrasting destinies. Mike begins the movie as a reformed character. McDermotts respectable tendons straining against the inexorable attraction of a night spent winning other peoples money. Which would be great, were it not for Worms destructive tendencies....

Theres no way it would. Ad content continues below Its tough! Anyway, he gave me an envelope, which contained the script forPennies From Heaven.

Nick Frost interview: Snow White and the Huntsman, angry dwarfs, and The World’s End

I still feel that we need to be pulled up to speed aboutSnow White and the Huntsman. We only saw half an hour of clips from the film… Which is 26 minutes more than Ive seen, by the way… Ad content continues below …and only one scene with the dwarves. But we saw epic battles, monsters and more than mild peril. So is this quite a radical reworking of Snow White?...

Sam Claflin interview: Snow White and the Huntsman, Pirates of the Caribbean 5, Hammer Horror

Im not even going to lie and say that I chose this path. Everyone else probably got a phone-call that said, just come in. He [Rupert Sanders] took a chance and hopefully I didnt disappoint. That was what really drew me to the part and the project? Was the fact it was Hammer studios also a big draw for you? For the first time, Im not nervous! Jared Harris isnt a bad co-star…...
