BUZZ

The best monthly movie preview section in the world! Check out our hot goodies, while we shake them for you.

LOOK!
It’s only Spider-Man 3! Doing whatever a Spider can (but mostly looking cool in black).

LOOK FURTHER!
It’s only Paris Hilton! Trying to get a job (but mostly getting naked).

LOOKEE YONDER!
It’s only Neil Marshall! Giving Buzz an exclusive (but mostly starting to make Doomsday).

LOOK DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE!
It’s only them Wachowski’s! Making their big comeback on Speed Racer (but mostly looking hot in dresses). Tired now. 

FEATURES

TOBEY MAGUIRE
Actor, star. The Good German, Spidey 3. Maguire peels off his public mask to reveal his many faces.

300
Loads of hairy CG musclemen – and the odd real actor – swing swords at each other. Bit like Troy. But not shit.

HOT FUZZ
Juliet Bravo meets Bad Boys 2? Cop that! The Shaun Of The Dead boys lay down a brave new law.

10TH BIRTHDAY
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Total Fiiiillllm... happy birthday to you.

PIRATES 3
Johnny Depp gives us the Jackonory on the threequel that’s set to be the biggest movie of all time.

CLINT
The Man Who Doesn’t Need A Second Name lays out his dreams of making a movie in Lithuania and admits to being “retarded”. And you think we’re kidding...

ANNE HATHAWAY
Hollywood’s favourite princess has nailed three adult roles this year. Our man naturally asks her about her breasts. She naturally gets miffed.

MOVIES WITHIN MOVIES
How to explain in four lines? Er, you know when characters watch/make a film in the film you’re watching? We review ’em, as if they were real. How very leftfield...

RICHARD LINKLATER
Director of Fast Food Nation gets seriously gobby about junk food and the global damage it wrecks. We leave the tape machine going and pop to Maccie Ds...

A GUIDE TO RECOGNIZING YOUR SAINTS
Dito Montiel’s explosive debut plunders his own crazy life and stars Robert Downey Jr, Rosario Dawson and an electric teen cast who are literally up for a fight. Don’t ask why it’s laid out like a script – it’ll take ages to explain.

JESSICA BIEL
Forget Simpson. Forget Alba. Forget Rabbit. Biel’s where it’s at, Jessica-wise. She talks Ed Norton, squeezing into corsets and the magic of The Illusionist. But by far the most important thing is now we’ve run this piece the editor is banned – forever – from mentioning the two hours he spent drinking cocktails with her. Seriously. We’ll go on strike.

GUY PEARCE
Fed-up of reading PR-friendly waffle spouted by plastic stars? Then read this month’s TF Interview with straight-shooter Pearce. He’s our kind of guy.

LOUNGE

You know the score by now. Don’t expect us to explain it again...

NEW
Guest Editor Kevin Smith brings you The Departed, Borat, Marie Antionette and, crafty old devil that he is, Clerks II. He also swears. A lot.

ARCHIVE
Guest Editor Kevin Smith brings you Fight Club, Ghandi, Mr & Mrs Smith and loads of early Hitchcock movies. He also swears. A lot.

LOVES
The Hudsucker Proxy. Often dismissed as ‘minor Coens’. Bloody idiots. We set things straight.

LEGENDS
George Clooney’s Top 10. Including Return Of The Killer Tomatoes!

STUFF
Games, books, TV, guff.

ALSO SHOWING

The best of the rest...

You’re better writers than we are...

Cut out the shop bit....

THE ABRIDGED SCRIPT
It ain’t over ’til it’s over... which is right now. Rocky Balboa gets a serious pasting. We even steal his bus pass.
