This week - David Lynch makes another film which makes everyone say "wha...?" (Inland Empire) and Eddie Murphy dons a fat suit and makes a racially insensitive film(Norbit). First up, Inland Empire. We're not a huge fan of David Lynch here at Londonist. For a while we were awed by the mysteriousness and 'cleverness' of it all but then, during a trip to Blockbuster when we had to choose between Mulholland Drive and Die......

This week: 16 Blocks, Metal: a Headbanger's Journey and Slither. Plus all the usual gossip and Trailer of the Week. In the last FFN we complained a lot about the fact that that there were no decent films on release. So what do we go and do today? We take one look at the best-reviewed film of the week and decide we're going to ignore it. Enron: The Smartest Guy in the Room is......

The British film industry has been a load of old pants for as far back as we can remember. "The British are coming!" Colin Welland once declared after being given a small statuette for a film about men running faster than other men and boy did we go. Any actor with enough money for airfare relocated to LA. America meanwhile responded by creating Bruce Willis and since then it's been all down hill until......

After reading this piece, we've decided that Wandsworth is currently our favourite London borough to be ill in. Although anyone who's ever lived in Wandsworth, especially any of the bits that aren't Wandsworth Village, might claim that it's pretty damn hard to live there and not be ill. But we digress. Patients of Dr Alex Bobak will find, upon entering his South London surgery, that the waiting room has been transformed into a mini......

Londonist really misses It’s A Knockout. We can’t really remember if as a country we were any good, but we suspect that we were crap at it like everything else. Still at least the playing field was leveled back in the day of Stuart Hall thanks to the costumes and overall stupidity factor. These days the best we can do is remind the French that we used to be good at beating Napoleon which......

Londonist likes stories that begin "It sounds like a scene from the Jetsons or Buck Rogers" because we feel that the story that follows should be about a new kind of robotic maid or a small gay robot that likes to boogie. What we actually got from the BBC News Magazine was a story about flying cabs. Calm down. Nothing like as interesting as the one that Bruce Willis used to pick up some......

No time for a fully-fledged Friday Film News this week, as it's the Londonist Office Xmas Party this afternoon, so we're just going to skip right to the interesting film tidbits section: Following on from last week's teaser trailer, there's now a preview of the War of the Worlds teaser poster online. Is it just us or does it remind you of the poster for The Life of Brian? Somehow we don't think that......
