May

One movie dominated May. No, it wasn't Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past. It was Star Trek, of course! We celebrated with a week of features, including The 25 Greatest Star Trek Movie Moments.

When we weren't talking Trek, we were chatting exclusively with Christian Bale about everything from Terminator Salvation to the outburst and working with Michael Mann on Public Enemies.

And there was another big franchise lumbering towards us, since Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen launched yet another trailer, which we promptly took apart. Oh, and we got to talk to TF co-star Megan Fox (mmm... Megan Fox), who starred in a preposterously sexy video.

Iron Man's sequel was on our minds, with the first official pic, our first glimpse of Robert Downey Jr back in the suit, and our look back at The Story Behind Iron Man.

That wasn't all the Downey Jr action - the Sherlock Holmes trailer arrived to much 'net kerfuffle over its comedy, and we broke it down.

In reviews, Coraline delighted us (and made us A) glad Henry Selick planned to adapt another Neil Gaiman book and B) think about Kids Movies' Wasted On Kids. Synecdoche, New York put us in a Charlie Kaufman frame of mind.

Know what else we were thinking about? 3D - both in the mag and online. Well, that and Who Could Play Frank Sinatra.

Hollywood went reboot/prequell/spin-off crazy (again) announcing new developments on Alien (turns out it'll likely be a prequel), Cliffhanger and Wolverine's Deadpool. And there was news on Preacher from Sam Mendes, Don Quixote from Terry Gilliam (good news! It'll be made! We hope!) and the earliest rumblings of Bradley Cooper playing Face in Joe Carnahan's The A-Team.

We watched Angels & Demons, Night At The Museum: Battle Of The Smithsonian, and Tormented, which had us thinking of great Revenge From Beyond The Grave Moments.

But the real master of horror  - Sam Raimi also returned, bringing Drag Me To Hell and giving you the chance to quiz him via our Twitter chat.

Total Film packed off several of its best and brightest to Cannes, where they could enjoy free booze, ladies in bikinis and, oh yeah, write and shoot blogs about films. We got see Up, wrote The Story Behind the movie and debated the merits of Inglourious Basterds.

We looked ahead to District 9, turned recent News Stories Into Movies, got celebrities to tell us which movies Changed Their Lives. Twilighters were abuzz over the New Moon teaer poster, while Ghostbusters fans were happy to hear Dan Aykroyd spill more about the third movie.

There was more Avatar art to enjoy, Nic Cage's Bad Lieutentant went nuts in a crazy trailer (which we couldn't help but take apart) and Pixar brought us the brand new Toy Story 3 teaser.

Finally, we got to see one film early, liked it, and wrote about it...

Next: June
