Director Christopher Nolan says he has started making notes and outlines for his possible third Batman movie, after the success of The Dark Knight.

We understand how ready fans were to reboot the franchise, it would be a pity to mess it up.''

Hollywood star Jim Carrey broke a rib on the set of new movie Yes Man, after falling over during a scene with co-star Molly Sims.
She said ''A scene called for us to b*mp into each other, and he just went for it and crashed around and broke a rib for real.
The insides of my mouth were raw from biting my cheeks to stay in character, and not to laugh out load.'' *

REVIEW
This is a film in which Kate Winslet persuades any doubters of her extraordinary gift.
She plays 36 yr old severe uptight, German woman Hanna whose act of kindness to a 15 yr old boy leads to a passionate affair.
She nurses a terrible secret and one lodged in Germany's history.
Equalling her need for love and intimacy, Hanna craves to be read to, and her reader is her boy lover Michael Berg.
Before s*x he reads her The Odyssey, Huckleberry Finn, Lady Chatterley's lover and other works.
As he reads her face transforms from drawn tension to dreamy rapture, as if nightmares are shooed away.
Hanna and Michael represent old and new Germany, one infected by sm, the other trying to come to terms with the nation's criminal past.
When years later, as a law student, Michael attends Hanna's trial for war crimes, he is devastated.
Winslet ages credibly over 3 decades, Ralph Fiennes adequately plays out his part as the adult Michael.
A serious, reflective film, with much subtlety at its heart. *

REVIEW
Anne Hathaway plays ex-model Kym who's out of rehab to attend her sister Rachel's wedding at their family home.
Kym does nothing right. She smokes in the house, she falls over chairs, she was the cause of a family tragedy, she's a whole flock of black sheep stampeding towards the next disaster.
That of course is the point. In spite of her awfulness she's embraced once again by her family and friends.
Peace however is fragile. Just below the surface holds, resentments and unresolved issues are festering nicely, ready to erupt at any time.
Between moments of planning and partying, we see another side of sweet Rachel, hungary both for her fathers attention and flight from the family.
In all, it all seems a little forced, emotions regimented by therapy speak and too much political correctness.
Hell can be other people's families! *

I thought the Thompson Twins were identical. Pegg and Frost dont look anything like each other. Simon would be better with Martin Freeman. *
