What's That? The Toys are back and heading up our new look Screen section - all the latest cinema reviews from the UK's most trusted film mag.

What's New? That font for starters, it's so darn fonty! No major changes to speak of, the tweaks in this section are subtle; minimal design, crisp readable font - the focus is on the review itself, as it should be. Still, it's very pretty...

What Else? We've got The Karate Kid , Knight And Day , The A-Team , Splice , and all the rest of the films out this month.

Interviews

Interviews

What's That? M. Night Shyamalan: wunderkind who fell out of favour. On the eve of his new film The Last Airbender , the director answers his critics.

What's New? We're really upping the ante on the photography, opening with a tasty black and white shot. Yup, that's how classy we are now.

What Else? Shyamalan takes on his critics, pulling no punches in answering the toughest questions about his body of work. Bravo, M. Night, bravo.
