This month the whole world has been talking about one film; Avatar. Bracing our cover after Fox hosted an unparallelled ‘Avatar Day’ run of preview footage screenings, James Cameron’s game-changing epic is rightly causing a stir. We bring you the lowdown on what the screened scenes can tell us about the finished product, and whether Avatar really will set us forth in a new age for the silver screen. We also preview the upcoming film adaptation of the iconic Fantastic Mr. Fox, sea-bound horror Triangle and ComicCon stand-out Kick-Ass. On the reviews side, it’s a very busy month. We rule over Inglourious Basterds, Funny People, Adventureland, The Hurt Locker, Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1 plus a couple more. The real UK release you should be excited about this month, however, is (500) Days Of Summer, and after giving the film a perfect 5 stars a few weeks ago, we uncover why Marc Webb’s directorial debut is the saviour of romantic comedies.
