The first picture and video from the Indiana Jones shoot are now available over at indianajones.com. It’s incredible how much online excitement one man, sitting down, wearing a hat can generate. But there you have it. Yes, he may be looking considerably older and this whole thing might be a bad idea, but is that gonna stop any of us from qeueing up to hear that music blaring from the cinema screen one more time?

Indiana Jones 4 will be released in the summer of 2008 and alongside Harrison, will feature Shia LaBeouf, Cate Blanchett, John Hurt, Jim Broadbent and Ray Winstone.

Check out the video of the first day of shooting here.

Our list of our favourite films of the last 50 years continues as Christine tackles the next ten years of our countdown.

10. Bonnie and Clyde (1967)

Everything you were ever told by your parents about how crime doesn’t pay is wrong.Bonnie and Clyde shows us that not only is crime AWESOME, it’s also damn sexy and only ever carried out by the beautiful people. Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty (seriously, he was attractive once) make stealing money and killing people with their mates look like the most fun ever. Except for the whole ‘getting shot up by the police in a gratuitously excessive shower of bullets’ thing at the end of course.

Last week, the American Film Institute celebrated ‘100 years… 100 films’ with a new list of their top 100 movies of all time. To coincide with this, they contacted us to ask us to write about our favourite film as part of a pulse of the online community. Just one? Screw that, we said. We can do better. So we sat down to compile our list of ‘1000 films… 1000 years.’ This proved difficult, both because 1,000 films is a lot and not much happened in cinema for 900 of those years. So realising that we don’t have the same resources as the AFI, we have created our list of ‘50 films… 50 years’. So here it is. How it works is that we split the 50 years evenly between five of us and have compiled a personal top 10 list in each of the given time periods. And it wasn’t easy. Tears were shed and hair was torn as we were forced to narrow down our extensive lists to the final 50. The results are… quite interesting. Stay tuned as we’ll be revealing a top 10 each day until we’ve made it all the way up to 2007.

10. Spartacus (1960)

Supposedly Stanley Kubrick was bitch slapped so hard by the Studio in the making of Spartacus that he had little or no creative input into the project. All the same he managed to put together a compelling film that will stand as one of the greatest epic movies ever made. Spartacus is eye candy. And it did give us the infamous ‘spartacus ending’ (or maybe the story gave us that, who cares). I’m still holding out for the Harry Potter films to end Spartacus style. ‘I’m Harry Potter… No, I’m Harry Potter…’

Hi kids, it’s me Steven Seagal. My last movie remake, Titanic Under Siege was such a success that 20^th Century Vole have approached me to produce, direct, star in and write the music for it. It’s gonna be an edgy score, I’ll be using a lot of steel drums and some pots and pans. And to prepare for the role, I’ve been spending a lot of time in the North Pole amongst icebergs, studying their daily rituals, mating habits and what they do for fun. It’s been edu-fucking-ational!

But why stop there, there’s a guzillion other ‘classic’ movies in awesomely serious need of some SEAGALIFICATION!

This week: Schindler’s List

Tom Fitzpatrick

It’s always hard to watch a DVD where a young, attractive (I’ve heard) white male is thrust into the depths of Africa with nothing but a native male and an attractive white female to make him see he’s been leading the wrong life all these years.

Leonardo DiCaprio plays Danny Archer, a smuggler in ‘conflict diamonds’ who comes from a troubled background but has found a way to fend for himself on the rough streets of Sierra Leone. When Archer is caught attempting to smuggle diamonds into Liberia, he is thrown into jail where he sees local fisherman Solomon Vandy being threatened by a rebel commander.

Hi kids, it’s me, Steven Seagal. If you haven’t heard of me, then that means your pussy-ass parents wouldn’t let you watch my movies. And they’re probably right, cos if you saw even a fleeting moment of some of my bad-ass martial arts moves, your head and testicles might explode out of pure envy.

Anyway, as I was lying on my bed of platinum mastercards laced with cocaine and beautiful women, I started thinking about movies that didn’t have my name above the title and I realised that they’re all boring pieces of crud-munching garbage. And then it hit me, faster than a knuckle-dropping karate kick into my enemy’s groin: I should remake every film ever made and make them a hundred times more kick-ass.

Much like the God of people fashioned humans in his own image, I, Steven Seagal, will form movies in… God’s image. Mine, that is. “And it will be awesome,” I said to the hot naked chick who rested on my thighs. “You’re so amazing Steven,” she probably said then. “I wish I looked like you.” They always do, chicks. And I always do THEM. That’s a little joke of mine, feel free to use it. And by feel free, I mean try it and I’ll fucking rip your kidneys out and feed them to my she-bitches.

So once a week, I’ll deliver to you, via The CinemATTIC, a few boring-ass movies that need a bit of Seagal-ification. That’s my word, don’t even think about re-mentioning it, fucker.

This week: Titanic

Entertainment Weekly have scooped a look at the new Bat Suit and someone over at SuperHeroHype has nicely scanned it in for the whole world to see. What do we think? It looks pretty much the same, really. Which is probably a good thing. It does seem to be a bit more streamlined, maybe Batman will be able to run faster or something. Personally, I don’t see what was wrong with the old grey pyjamas that Adam West wore. If it’s good enough for Adam, it’s good enough for us.

Check out the new suit compared to the old suit and marvel at the difference.

The Coen brothers’ latest is an adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy novel, No Country for Old Men. To put it crudely, the plot is effectively A Simple Plan meets Terminator 2 meets US Marshalls. A humble hunter (Josh Brolin) stumbles on some dead bodies, a stash of heroin and more than 2 million dollars cash. He takes it, little realising that one of the most terrifying screen villains to ever grace… the screen… is on his trail. Along with sheriff Tommy Lee Jones. As you would expect from the dynamic duo, it received rave reviews at Cannes and is looking to be one of the best films of the year. Except that we Europeans won’t get to see it this year. No Country for Old Men won’t hit Irish and British cinemas until February 2008, which is a bit of a kick in the balls. If you’re American, then we envy you because you’ll be seeing it on November 9 this year.

“The last man on Earth is not alone.” As taglines go, that is pretty darn good. We’ve been dying to see footage from I Am Legend ever since we first saw the shots of Will Smith walking his dog through deserted Los Angeles streets, automatic weapon in hand. Smith plays Robert Neville, the last human survivor of a virus that has ravaged Los Angeles and likely, the world. But of course, he’s not alone…
