But as it turns out they were not alone! The final five finalists in this year's Jameson Empire Done In 60 Seconds have been chosen, and it's time to take five minutes from your day, watch them all and choose a winner. If you haven't got five minutes, well, first of all you need to relax a bit, but secondly you can vote for the winners of the Jameson Empire Awards even more quickly, right over there. And if making decisions isn't your thing, just chill out and read some of our great features this week, looking at who should direct Bond next, how they can bring Justice League to the screen and what we spotted in the new Iron Man 3 trailer...

Monet's actual Haystacks, Dusk to mark the release of Gambit on DVD and Blu-ray. We're going to sell it and live forever on the profits, hooray! | | | |

What Are Your Cinematic Affectations?
There's a moment in Iron Man where Tony does this thing with his hands. It's like a double finger click with his right hand that slaps into the palm of his left hand, making a sound like "Clicketty-click" in the process. It's the kind of thing everyone's favourite billionaire playboy philanthropist does when he's walking, or thinking, or just being a bit cool. "Throw a little hot rod red in there..." Clicketty-click. | | | |

How Do You Solve A Problem Like Justice League?
With reports last weekend from Latino Review that Christopher Nolan, Christian Bale and Henry Cavill would all be involved in the planned Justice League movie, we look at the challenges facing Warner Bros as they try to bring the film to the screen, and the ways they could make it into something amazing... | |
|  | | Done In 60 Seconds - Top 5 UK Finalists Revealed
The votes have been counted, verified, counted again and then probably checked again - and we can now reveal the five videos you chose as the best UK entries in this year's Done In 60 Seconds competition. A huge congratulations to all who entered, and an even bigger one to the following short filmmakers: Mark Hampton (Argo), Charlie Hall (You Only Live Twice), Blade Runner (Philip Askins), Oliver Graves and Matthew Brackenbury (The Italian Job) and finally, Michael Hall (Robocop). Watch the winning videos. |
|  | | James Franco And Zach Braff Talk Oz The Great And Powerful
Sam Raimi's Disney blockbuster takes him, and his stellar cast, back to the Oz of L. Frank Baum's stories and Victor Fleming's 1939 classic. This time, though, the flying monkeys have sharper nippers, the munchkins aren't allowed to sing and there's more CG spectacle than you can shake a ruby slipper at. We popped down to chat with James Franco (wizard), Michelle Williams (witch) Zach Braff (monkey) about the movie. NB Franco and Braff may have been better pals before Empire collared them than when we left them. Erm, sorry about that. |
|  | | 14 Possible Directors For Bond 24
So earlier this week we exclusively revealed that Sam Mendes and EON Productions have saluted the nearest Union Jack and bid each other a fond farewell (for the time being, at least). Given Skyfall's colossal box office success and the franchise's great good health, the studio should have pick of most of the hottest directors in town - but who is best equipped for the gig? We sort through some of the leading candidates... |
|  | | 28 Must-Pause Moments From The New Iron Man 3 Trailer
The new Iron Man 3 trailer set the movie-loving internet figuratively aflame yesterday, causing nerdy squee-ing across all seven continents. In fact, there were so many incredible what-the-how-the moments over its 270 second runtime we decided to collate them all for you in this handy click-a-long-a-trailer feature, complete with informed guesswork and several attempts at humour. So click on, spoiler-hunter, if you dare... |
|  | | Bill Murray: 57 Unbelievable Moments Of Awesome
It's an overused expression, but Bill Murray really is a living legend. Stories of the one-time buster of ghosts walking into restaurants, stealing a chip from a stranger's plate and whispering "No-one will ever believe you" - read this GQ interview for more details on that front - have become urban legend, and the internet is overflowing with nigh-on unbelievable Murray moments (and some top-notch tributes, too). Here we collate his best bits in one handy place so that next time Peter Venkman interrupts your foosball game by offering you hotdogs, you'll know what to expect... |
|  | | Empire's Sitcom Theme Tune Quiz
After our joyfully obscure Retro Video Game Music Quiz, now it's time for something much closer to most people's hearts: sitcom theme tunes. Seemingly designed to haunt your days, night and dreams, these 30-second ditties regularly evoke chuckles gone by - or, in some cases, a complete absense of chuckles (hello, Birds Of A Feather). The following four quizzes - separated into UK Easy, UK Hard, US Easy, US Hard - serve to test any comedy lovers' memory recall, though we apologise in advance if they result in any walls being punched in frustration. LOL, etc. |
|  | | 11 Helpful Movie Robots That Will Ruin Your Life
With Robot & Frank reminding us that having a robot pal doesn't necessarily mean having to get embroiled in an endless war with the bloody Decepticons, time was ripe to explore the other artificially-intelligent helpers out there to see what's what in the robot business. And do you know what we discovered? Most of them are pretty disastrous. We've looked at the best in the market for binary finery and identified one or two wiring issues that will soon have you reaching for the trouble-shooting guide. |
|  | | Exclusive Jude Law Webchat Transcript
In Steven Soderbergh's Side Effects, Jude Law plays a psychiatrist who prescribes drugs to a fragile woman (Rooney Mara) and suffers the consequences of the resulting fallout. Intrigued? Check out the trailer for a better look, but not before you read through our webchat transcript with the man himself, including such interesting titbits as who still leaves him starstuck and more... |
|  | | Ten Movies More Twisted Than The Fairy Tale
Following last year's Snow White And The Huntsman comes the similarly revisionist Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters. With Jack The Giant Slayer also mere weeks away, kick-ass retellings of folk and fairy stories are clearly all the rage. But they're not so new, as evidenced by these ten tales, all of which wrench familiar narratives in unfamiliar directions. All the better to disturb you with... |
|  | | Sci-Fi Houses You'd Want To Live In
House-hunting can be hellish, with its gazumping, conveyancing and endless euphemisms for the word 'pokey'. But somehow down the years the protagonists in some of our favourite sci-fi movies have managed to lay their futuristic hands on a portfolio of prime real estate. Should any of these properties come onto the market, the punters will all be rushing for their mortgage broker, so we've got our Kirstie-and-Phil on to explore the best in intergalactic des res. |

We got a Les Miserables breakfast box as pre-orders open for its DVD bow. Qu'ils mangent de la brioche, eh? (Wrong revolution, we know). | | | |

Oz The Great and Powerful 
If there are post-Harry Potter children who don't know or care about The Wizard Of Oz, they might be at sea with this story about a not-very-nice grownup in a magic land, but long-term Oz watchers will be enchanted and enthralled. There's even a musical number, albeit an abbreviated one. Mila Kunis gets a gold star for excellence in bewitchery and Sam Raimi can settle securely behind the curtain as a mature master of illusion. | | | |

Argo
An old-school espionage thriller with a movie-biz comedy twist, all the better for being (almost) entirely true. It is to Ben Affleck's credit that the tension and laughs complement rather than neutralise each other. | | | |
