The best monthly movie preview section in the world! With some immensely tortuous wordplay as an introduction!
DIE!: Hard 4.0, that is. Bruce Willis is back and he's sporting a fetching green pullover. My, how he's aged.
MARY!: Elizabeth Winstead that is, Hollywood's Most Wanted catching eyes in Grindhouse, Die Hard 4.0 and a lovely polka dot 'dress'...
FANTASTIC!: Four 2 that is, as Buzz has a daft idea about superheroes and pays a bloke to draw them.
DON'T!: Go back to the water, that is, as a new, bigger and far more scary Jaws gets prepped for cinemas. In a few years. Perhaps. Maybe.
PIRATES 3: Screenwriter Terry Rossio and screen actor Johnny Depp (you may have heard of him) talk us through the three-quel to rule 'em all. They know stuff.
KEIRA & ORLANDO: Blighty's bright young things sit in a room and chat to Total Film. A lot. About all sorts of interesting things. And look reaaaaaally good doing it.
TRANSFORMERS: We meet the human stars: Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf.
HOSTEL: PART II: Nov 2006: Total Film visits the Prague set. May 2007: the scars won't heal.
NATALIE PORTMAN: Chatty Natty bangs on about torture. Maybe she wants to be in Hostel III...
GRINDHOUSE: QT and RR hook up to furiously shoot the shit about their grubby opus.
WALLPAPER: Live in a shit-hole with plaster falling out of the walls? Then call the landlord. Or... cover over those nasty holes with our spanking new posters (sorry, 'wallpaper'). This month we've gone Tarantino crazy, alright?
CAMERON DIAZ: She's Princess Fiona in Shrek The Third and she's also the Total Film Interview. In between sunny smiles and girly giggles, she actually answers some serious, searching, insightful questions. And then she giggles some more.

And nekkid Vikings! THE RISE OF THE KIDDIES! The Buzz child-star power list! Plus an ace new pic from Stormbreaker, the mini-Bond that's guaranteed to get its star, Alex Pettyfer, more action by the time he's 17 than the rest of us had by the time we hit 30. Combined. EVEN MORE NORTON! Congratulations to our Eddie, who here makes his 8,000th appearance in this magazine in just three months! FEATURES: SUPERMAN RETURNS Hugh Jackman 'adored' last month's cover. Word on the street is that Brandon Routh quite likes this one but is concerned over its 'wilful disregard of basic magazine grammar.' OMEN 666 At least that was its name when the magazine's cover went to print... Has Liev 'Get me in Private Eye!' Schreiber being all luvvie about 'snowflakes'. Should be on page 66, really... POSEIDON Wolfgang Petersen continues his obsession with water. Hollywood continues its obsession with epic disasters. The News Editor continues his obsession with 'that girl from the PC gaming magazine'. THANK YOU FOR SMOKING Which is what you should say to our illustrious Editor, if ever you run into him. Essentially, he single-handedly keeps the NHS afloat. That's if it still is. We haven't checked recently. SECUESTRO EXPRESS When Jonathan Jakubowicz had a gun held to his bonce, he didn't whimper away. Nope. He pulled himself together like a Real Man and wrote Secuestro Express about it. Brave folk, these Venezuelans. UNITED 93 Don't do a Blunkett by criticising controversial art without seeing it. At least watch this frankly inspired film before damning it as 'too soon'. We chat to director Paul Greengrass about the year's bravest movie... ACTION HEROES In 1991, a man called Sly, an Austrian bodybuilder and a balding badass opened Planet Hollywood. Now, 15 years on, it just looks like they've been eating there three times a day. What happened? TAKING THE MYTH Find your falsehoods in the papers and your truisms in the movies, right? Sort of. Still, some films fib (shock!). After sifting the bullshit from 'biopics', we exclusively reveal that the plot of Pocahontas is a honk of toss. DONALD SUTHERLAND The Dirty Dozen Special Edition's out in June (see next month's Lounge), so we chatted to the legendary Don about baring his arse, falling out with Joel Schumacher and that sex scene with Julie Christie. LOUNGE: THE BEST, MOST EXTENSIVE, EXHAUSTIVE DVD, BOOKS, GAMES AND, ON OCCASION, PROMOTIONAL FIGURINES SECTION IN THE WESTERN WORLD... NEW Big guns: Munich, Brokeback Mountain, North Country, Memoirs Of A Geisha... Small, perfectly formed snappy-things: Shopgirl, Chicken Little, Aeon Flux, Breakfast On Pluto... And, so you don't have to, we pitch frumpy Charlize vs PVC Charlize. ARCHIVE Making of La Haine, plus reviews of The Poseidon Adventure, Mission: Impossible and many more, a Lounge Loves on Theatre Of Blood and some poor sod gets to watch five different The Fly films. TV Life On Mars with John Simm on white dog shit and Lucozade, plus Sharpe. And Jack Osbourne. STUFF Killer film book and footie bandwagon leap.

We chat to the stars and director about Dan Brown's ubiqui-novel and its on-screen resurrection. Hallelujah! BRICK Never heard of it? You have now. We nail the year's coolest movie. Huge hit at Sundance, made for half a mill, and with a knotty, noir-styled plot to, um, drive you up the wall. MOVIES WE LOVE You watch it at least once a week. If your house was on fire, the DVD would be first on your grab-list... We asked a shrink to analyse just what that obsession with Battlefield Earth says about your head. SUMMER OF SUBTEXT It's that time again. Big, orange explosions. Cartoonish bad guys. Aliens, robots, ghosts, mermaids... Keep that brain switched on, though. We're about to reveal the hidden meaning beneath the popcorn fluff. MANDY MOORE Hollywood's hottest hottie is the excitingly trashy Southern girl out for Hugh Grant's pants in American Dreamz. Soon, she'll be in Richard Kelly's Southland Tales and you'll have all forgotten about Lindsay Lohan. THE KING Oscar-nominated screenwriter of Monster's Ball Milo Addica writes exclusively for Total Film, about his Cannes-lauded, controversy-baiting, incest-and-murder drama The King. WILLEM DAFOE Bobby Peru... the loony from Speed 2... Jesus... and now, the President's adviser in American Dreamz - on his craft, his versatility and scaring kids with his leeriest Green Goblin face. JAMES FRANCO ...And speaking of the Green Goblin, we try to steer his screen son towards a chat about comicbook revenge. But, instead, have a good old chinwag about medieval romance Tristan & Isolde.
