 |  It's OK, we know what's been happening. All week you've heard two sinister notes playing, the same orchestral ostinato of paired bass notes, everywhere you go. By this point the sense of existential dread and utter terror is probably at its peak, you're shaking in your boots and experiencing mild-to-moderate heart palpitations. But we can finally reveal the cause: a terrifying new Big Movie Quote Quiz has been unleashed upon an unsuspecting world. Yes, once again you are called upon to prove your film knowledge by correctly identifying dialogue from movies both big and small. So do you know your Dark Knight Rises from your Skyfall? Can you tell Captain America from The Avengers? Now is your chance to prove it, so gird your loins, screw your courage to the sticking place and wade once more onto the breach. And once you've conquered this quiz, we've reassembled all the previous ones for you to try. Good luck, and don't sue us if this causes sleepless nights. Helen O'Hara

  Exclusive First Look At Monsters: Dark Continent
Gareth Edwards' Monsters was a hugely impressive debut: a shot-on-the-hoof independent drama with massive, tentacled, alien creatures that matched any blockbuster's visual effects. Edwards, of course, is now working on bringing Godzilla back to our big screens for Warner Bros., but his own monstrous creations live on in Monsters: Dark Continent - not so much a sequel to Edwards' film as a "continuation", which Edwards is executive producing.

It's a hard-to-spell-and-even-harder-to-say American actors double-bill this week with both We're The Millers' Jason Sudeikis and Lovelace's Amanda Seyfried joining Team Empire for conversations about moustaches, dry heaving as a workout regime, stuffed animals and corpses (amongst other things).

|  | | Sharlto Copley And Neill Blomkamp Elysium Podcast Special
District 9's Sharlto Copley and Neill Blomkamp reunite for another sci-fi action film in the form of Elysium, only this time there are fewer prawns and far more Matt Damons - that is to say, just one. Joining the Empire Podcast team for a relaxed chat about everything from Neill's aborted Halo movie to Hot Toys Joker figurines (as well as the movie itself, of course), the actor-director pair are on top form, so be sure to download this one for posterity. |
|  | | The Most Dangerous Pub Crawl In Cinema
As US moviegoers are about to discover, The World's End is a handy reminder that there are worse outcomes to a bar crawl than a questionable doner and a category five hangover. With that lesson in mind, we decided to explore some of the other movie hostelries, well, you really wouldn't want to explore. The Old West is filled with salons that make that grimy pub you always avoid look like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, so we've decided to start there and head east, tail between our legs, before ending in an old favourite in a galaxy far, far away. Keep your head down and the exit in view. |
|  | | A Guide To Movie Smugglers
The release of We're The Millers this week got us talking about the continuing popularity of smuggling in films, with practitioners generally portrayed as likeable scallywags rather than dodgy ne'er-do-wells. We were moved to take another look at movie smugglers, and compile a list of advice for those tempted to follow them into the smuggling game. A word of warning, however: this advice is only applicable on the movie screen. It will not work in real life, and in fact will probably get you arrested. |
| | | Empire Meets John Cleese
When Empire meets John Cleese, in London to promote a voice part in Disney's Planes, he's got two things on his mind: airplanes and lemurs. In fairness, we put the second one there ourselves with our constant probings about everyone's favourite stripy-tailed primate, Cleese's Fierce Creatures co-star and a species he's now lent his name to. The other topic, his hatred of flying, is one of the few things to make Cleese truly fidgety - at least since The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog disappeared from the scene. Alongside his phobia of flight, there's the small - literally - matter of legroom. "The seats are much too small for somebody who's six foot five," he grumbles, stretching out his six-foot-five frame for emphasis. "It's a form of slow, gentle torture." Like a soft cushion, we don't add. A pure, unalloyed joy to chat to, Cleese was on expansive form, leapfrogging from his movie regrets to his fellow Pythons and, yes, taking in lemurs along the way. British TV comedy writers should look away now. |

Gabriel Byrne fell asleep during Oblivion. 
Cillian Murphy calls anything Dark Knight-related "Bat-stuff". 
Vin Diesel does a double pec-pop in Fast Five when leaning in to pick up The Rock after a car crash. We only just noticed but now it's all we can see.

Elysium 
Not perfect, but a much more satisfying Earth-in-ruins film than Oblivion or After Earth. It is a little more conventional than District 9 (what isn't?), but confirms Blomkamp as one of the potential science-fiction greats of this decade. Also Out
 
Bernie
Linklater's Fargo, it's funny peculiar and funny ha ha, with Black a delight and Linklater in impressive control of superbly judged content and tone. Also Out
