Screen
What's That? The Toys are back and heading up our new look Screen section - all the latest cinema reviews from the UK's most trusted film mag.
What's New? That font for starters, it's so darn fonty! No major changes to speak of, the tweaks in this section are subtle; minimal design, crisp readable font - the focus is on the review itself, as it should be. Still, it's very pretty...
What Else? We've got The Karate Kid , Knight And Day , The A-Team , Splice , and all the rest of the films out this month.
Features
What's That? Join Jolie undercover as Evelyn Salt in her brand new spy thriller...

Interviews
What's That? M. Night Shyamalan: wunderkind who fell out of favour. On the eve of his new film The Last Airbender , the director answers his critics.
What's New? We're really upping the ante on the photography, opening with a tasty black and white shot. Yup, that's how classy we are now.
What Else? Shyamalan takes on his critics, pulling no punches in answering the toughest questions about his body of work. Bravo, M. Night, bravo.
Access
What's That? TF talks trash with the stars and creator of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World .
What's New? Delving deeper into the movies, we bring you the inside track on Scott Pilgrim . We've got himself Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and for the uninitiated, Scott Pilgrim comic creator Brian Lee O'Malley talks us through his semi-autobiographical character.
What Else? Cool Scott Pilgrim artwork and a bite-size digest of the graphic novels.
Future Stars
What's That? The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is the girl everyone's talking about.
What's New? We've always been a supporter of top class young talent and that won't change. What we have done is brought interviews with rising stars up to the same grade as their more established counterparts. There's that delightful black and what image for starters...
What Else? Noomi Rapace tells us why she won't be doing David Fincher's Millenium trilogy remake, and we tell you the other Swedish films you need to see!
Definitive
What's That? We celebrate the people, places, quotes, whatever, that make the movies cool.
What's New? Long list features are no stranger to our pages, but for the 100 Coolest Things In Movies we've maximised the dip-in-ness of the layout, making it easy to jump in and grab some cool fact action before saving the rest for another time.
