Like Harry Potter, the Twilight franchise is now a given, at least through the fourth book, Breaking Dawn, which is where producers Summit Entertainment unfortunately run out of original source material. For now, though, we have New Moon, the second in the series. It’s all change behind the camera as Chris Weitz steps in for Catherine Hardwicke and the story shifts to expand the world of werewolves and sparkly vampires. Bella and Edward face new roadblocks to their love and Jacob Black gets to show his true, furry side. Can it take another bite out of the box office, or will it mope off into the darkness?

Ever since Pixar first presented Toy Story to a delighted world 14 years ago, animated pictures have been as polished, sophisticated and starry as any live-action feature. The first thing that strikes you about Fantastic Mr Fox, then, is how unpolished it looks. In an industry dominated by super-slick computerised cartoonery, its hand-made feel and old-fashioned aesthetic feels downright revolutionary.

Life, death and rebirth... Proving cinema is bigger than death, Heath Ledger is back some two years after his tragic overdose. How is he doing? Not well. He’s hanging lifelessly with a noose round his neck. That morbidly compulsive first shot of the late Aussie star sparks an electric shiver that Terry Gilliam’s oddball fantasy never matches again.

MSN Movies was lucky enough to be invited to Pixar animation studios this summer. The birthplace of the world's most stunning computer-generated movies has a new baby. We were ready to meet the Pixar-people and learn about Up, their tenth feature.

In a highly unusual move for a national newspaper, last weekend’s Mail on Sunday gave away a full length, unreleased feature film.

What would you do if you found yourself in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse? If you’re Simon Pegg’s Shaun, you’d run to the Winchester. If you’re Cillian Murphy in 28 Days Later…, you’d probably just run. The heroes of Zombieland have a different plan, though: to head for a deserted amusement park, switch on all the lights and have the time of their sure to be brief lives.

The sharper end of the movie news funnel: looking at cheap horror flicks and Thor's controversial parenting situations...

Is it hyperbole to suggest that Toy Story, a film about a motley group of toys who spring to life when their owner isn’t looking, changed cinema forever?

British director David Lean joins our legends at number 48.

James Cameron has been away from fictional films for more than a decade since the release of Titanic. But now, after some time spent exploring the murky depths and working out the incredible technical demands of his new project, he’s well and truly back and ready to explode all over our screens once more with Avatar.The futuristic sci-fi picture finds injured marine Jake Sully (played by Sam Worthington) posted to the distant, mysterious planet of Pandora, where he comes into conflict with his superiors over how to treat the giant, blue, seemingly peaceful native Na’vi. Can Cameron’s return explore the top of the box office? Or will it be a big miss?

Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary fictional detective is one of the most famous characters ever created. He’s been filmed many times, both on TV and cinema screens, so you’d be forgiven for thinking that there’s nothing left to say about him. Guy Ritchie and Warners disagree, so this Christmas we can look forward to a brand new, action-packed take on the man in the form of Robert Downey Jr. Can the director who made Lock, Stock investigate success? Or will this Holmes quickly be sent into foreclosure at the box office?

MSN's David Levin spoke to Ricky Gervais about his new film, Ghost Town, those Emmy-hosting rumours, and his career goals.

Oliver Stone is no stranger to controversy. His hard-hitting movies have delved deeply into hot button issues, from the Vietnam War and Wall Street greed to the assassination of JFK. Now comes W. - the first major motion picture about a sitting president. Are Americans ready for George W. on the big screen? Stone is betting they are, which is why he's madly rushed his biopic to cinemas before the election.

Everything changed in 1983 when, quite by accident, I changed the channel and stumbled upon "Night of the Living Dead." My mind was blown by George A Romero's 1968 film about a group of survivors defending themselves against the walking dead. But now, after four decades of countless movies, books, video games and comics, I am sick of zombies. The walking dead have overstayed their welcome.

Batman can’t get it up. Superman hates the human race. The villain wants to save the world. Just three reasons why it’s taken 23 years, six Hollywood studios, five directors and hundreds of millions of dollars to bring legendary Brit author Alan Moore’s “unfilmable” comic-book masterpiece to the big screen.

Go to the movies this weekend and you could find yourself watching a talking fox, some graphic torture and an eye-watering attack on an intimate female body part. Is this Hostel 3 or Saw 6? Nothing of the sort!

Zac Efron's acting career may be worth millions now, but his first audition was a disaster, he has revealed.
