As Studio Ghibli’s final film When Marnie Was There releases in cinemas, we countdown the top ten best films from the prestigious Japanese animation studio.

Transporting kids and adults on adventures with roaming cat buses to shape-shifting raccoons, their imaginative streak is an unparalleled masterclass in making beautiful, moving movies for the entire family.

But what’s undying love without a little competition? With the company currently halting production following the departure of director Hayao Miyazaki, it seems like a perfect excuse… Read the full story

The upcoming all-female Ocean’s Eleven reboot just got that bit more awesome – as Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter and Mindy Kaling have apparently joined the cast.

Sandra Bullock is reportedly already on board for the movie, which is a new project from Hunger Games director Gary Ross – but Jennifer Lawrence has pulled out due to ‘scheduling conflicts’.

But never fear as NME reports the Carol actress, Tim Burton ex and star of The Mindy Project have jumped on the bandwagon, with Elizabeth Banks thought to be another ‘likely’ addition.

A movie called The Greasy Strangler has landed a UK cinema release, though it’s possible we should all be very concerned about that.

The indie film – described as an ‘oasis of filth and depravity’ by The Guardian – caused a major stir at Cannes where it stood out like a sore thumb against the usual gritty dramas and Woody Allen films.

If you ask us, previews have made the black comedy/horror film look like a combo of Napoleon Dynamite, torture porn staple Hostel and John Waters’ Pink Flamingos.

Those of a boringly delicate disposition may do well to avoid it – or at least test the water by watching this sweary, NSFW trailer first:

Titanic made Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio’s careers take off, and they remain one of the best-loved star-crossed couples in cinematic history.

But before she landed the role as Rose, 19-year-old Brit actress Kate Winslet had to do a screen test – and not with DiCaprio.

Instead she was asked to perform a long scene for camera with Clueless star Jeremy Sisto. Remember him?

The word on the street – or the internet, rather – is that Gladiator screenwriter David Franzoni has his eyes on Leonardo DiCaprio for the role of Rumi in an upcoming biopic about the celebrated 13^th century Persian poet and mystic.

While this has come as good news to DiCaprio fans, as well as those who enjoy good old-fashioned entertainment, others are deeming Franzoni’s to cast a ‘white’ actor for the role as an outrageous example of typical Hollywood whitewashing.

Kevin Hart plays Snowball the rabbit in the new animated movie The Secret Life Of Pets, all about what goes on when the animal’s owners aren’t home.

But just because he voices a cute wittle fwuffy bunny wabbit (who turns out to be one crazy mo fo), it doesn’t mean he necessarily likes furry friends.

For instance, could he tell the difference between one and a baked good? Or has he ever accidentally made the mistake of biting the backside of a sleeping hound? We made it our mission to find out.

We set him the task of telling puppy from bagel and this is how he got on.

A spectral presence on the set of The Conjuring 2 apparently led to a priest being called in to give it what for.

That’s according to the movie’s male lead Patrick Wilson, who claims a ‘huge’ heavy curtain kept ‘violently waving’ on set despite there being no wind about.

While Watchmen star Patrick doesn’t believe in bad spirits he admitted the curtain haunting, which went on for a minute, was ‘pretty trippy’.

Marvel fans in Russia are petitioning to replace the voice-over for Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War.

While in the West we’ve been sitting pretty relishing in Tom Holland’s film-stealing performance in Marvel’s superhero behemoth, Russians have been losing their web over the dubbed performance they hear instead from voice actor Vladimir Kanukhin.

The actor, who made his theatrical debut in the Marvel blockbuster, is now so hated fans have signed a petition – citing that his voice sounds too young for the role.

There are some reboots that seem totally unnecessary: Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, (Still) Open All Hours, All Saints.

And others that have us whooping for joy.

Fortunately, Battlestar Galactica is one of the latter.

We are big, HUGE fans of the 70s series and especially of Dirk Benedick and Dirk Benedick’s fit face.

But it would be nice to see the spaceships with a budget of more than a few cents to do them full justice.

Dylan O’Brien’s serious injuries on the set of the Maze Runner sequel were apparently caused by negligence on the part of the production team.

The 24-year-old actor was dragged under a car during a stunt on the set of the ominously-titled Death Cure, and is currently recovering from ‘concussion, facial fracture and lacerations’.

Now an investigation by WorkSafeBC, published by The Globe and Mail, has found that ‘minimal instruction’ was offered to the movie star and that his safety lanyard was too short.

This resulted in O’Brien ‘being pulled off the front vehicle and then being suspended above… Read the full story

Say the words Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves to anyone over a certain age and the probable responses you’ll get will be ‘Bryan Adams’, ‘Dodgy accents’ and ‘Questionable geography’.

But actually, the 1991 blockbuster (which was released 25 years ago this week) is one of the most outright enjoyable retellings of the Robin Hood narrative you’ll come across – and for all of you complaining about the mistakes, Prince Of Thieves was based on a legend, not a true story. Who said it had to be accurate?

To celebrate the film’s birthday, here are some fascinating facts about its production – so come with us on a journey to Merrie Olde England…

Get ready to feel old, film fans.

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is 25 years old today.

On June 14, 1991, Kevin Costner, his hairband and his band of merry men were unleashed in Sherwood Forest and cinemas.

A quarter of a decade on and this early ’90s cheesefest still hits the middle of that archery target.
