April

Spring arrived, and so did Wolverine... just not quite how the filmmakers intended. The workprint got leaked, the studio got in a huff and we went in search of other big movies that arrived in the world before they hit cinemas.

Meanwhile, we continued our obsession with Jessical Biel stripping in Powder Blue, and the Bruno trailer invaded our eyes.

Among the month's biggest rumours was Men In Black 3 gearing up. We haven't seen much development in that one yet, but we did point out what we thought should be in the film.

Oh, and another rumour turned out to be very true, as Jackie Earle Haley was confirmed as the new Freddy Krueger in the reboot of A Nightmare On Elm Street.

It was reported that Mike Newell would be re-opening The Box Of Delights, and Gore Verbinski would not be directing the next Pirates film. So we picked a few possible replacements.

Among the month's releases were The Boat That Rocked (Richard Curtis sleepwalks), Monsters Vs Aliens (big fun 3D 'toon), Fast & Furious (Vin gets the old gang back together), Race To Witch Mountain (blah remake), awesome Swedish vampire tale Let The Right One In and rubbish anime adaptation Dragonball Evolution.

Not forgetting, of course, the return of Chev Chelios in Crank: High Voltage, which got us thinking whether he really could survive all that crazy s**t.

April also brought Easter, so we looked at Movie Messiahs and film Rabbits Better Than The Easter Bunny.

We got excited about Duncan Jones' intelligent sci-fi Moon, and mourned the loss of JG Ballard. Oh, and we also went out on a date with Robert Pattinson. Don't ask. He didn't call us after.

We got over our pain watching I Love You, Man and chatting with star Jason Segel. Plus, we looked at some great and some not-so-great movie posters.

Cannes crept ever closer, and we got a look at the schedule, thrilled to the first of the Scott Pilgrim Video Bllogs (Edgar Wright, you are officially a genius at promotion), loved the idea of Michael Chabon re-writing John Carter Of Mars, premiered some world exclusive Terminator Salvation imagery and forced ourselves to look at the lovely Megan Fox (mmm... Megan Fox) in her Jonah Hex getup.

Just for fun, we thought up some other Classic Literature/Monster Movie Mash-Ups to go with Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, and got another look at Avatar. Blurry, but still exciting.

Just not as exciting as the launch of our DVD Club. Which is slowly conquering Twitter. The first rule of DVD Club? You DO talk about DVD Club. The second rule? Er, no pets.

Finally, there was time to review Wolverine (not quite as good as we hoped), Observe And Report (ditto) and State Of Play (thankfully ace) and In The Loop (definitely ditto).

Next: May
