This Week...
Be of good cheer, people: even if your team got knocked out of the World Cup last weekend, the sun is shining and the long dry spell at the box office is approaching its end. After all, once all this sport finishes we can get back to the serious business of blockbusters, with Inception, Toy Story 3 and, er, Twilight: Eclipse all lining up for their UK release dates. And over here on Empire, we've been mimicking our favourite vampires and keeping out of the sun to break down for you the epic new Harry Potter trailer, and list the movie-making Twitterers you should be following to keep up with all the news. That blinding light coming from central London? That's the sun reflecting off our pasty-white skin when we eventually venture out. The things we do for you lot. Helen O'Hara

50 Movie Twitterers You Should Follow
Now that everyone has calmed down about Twitter and (largely) accepted it as an interesting part of the internet rather than some trendy media buzzword, we figured it was time to take a look at some of Hollywood's finest who are making good use of the site to connect with fans, friends and the world at large. So here is a rundown on some of the celebrity tweeters you just might want to follow, be it for laughs, news or complete insanity... | | |
|  | | Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: The Trailer Breakdown
Even the most casual Potter reader will have realised that the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows trailer contains quite a bit of material from both films. We thought we'd have a closer look at its contents, and see what clues to the final two films we can glean. Spoilers, of course, abound in what follows - so don't go any further unless you've read the books or actively like to know the ending... |
|  | | The Trouble With Rom Coms
After watching Leap Year recently and approaching the release of When In Rome, we got to thinking about the state of the modern rom-com and what is right and wrong with it. What follows are our conclusions, presented with pictoral supporting evidence close at hand. |
|  | | Video: Vanessa Paradis and Pascal Chaumeil on Heartbreaker
Actress, singer, model, partner of Johnny Depp and friend of a man called Mr. Le Taxi, there's no end of things to talk to Vanessa Paradis about. Being filmy folk, we chose to quiz her and director, the charming Pascal Chaumeil, on their new movie, the fun and frisky French rom-com Heartbreaker. She told us about her first move away from dramatic roles and - in the film's Dirty Dancing homage - an even higher-risk one into the arms of Roman Duris. |
|  | | Larry David Versus The World
Last week saw the release of Whatever Works, a collaboration between Hollywood's grouchiest star and Woody Allen. To celebrate, here are Larry's most awkward celebrity encounters, as seen in Curb Your Enthusiasm… |

The Lovely Bones
Like The Lord Of The Rings, The Lovely Bones does a fantastic job with revered, complex source material. As terrific on terra firma as it is audacious in its astral plane, it is doubtful we'll see a more imaginative, courageous film in 2010. | | | |
