So, issue 2 has rolled around fast for this, The Road to the Thirteenth Doctor. James Peaty returns to script, though The Eleventh Doctor has replaced the Tenth of last issue, and Pasquale Qualano steps in as the new artist. This being Titan Comics big traditional Doctor Who event this year, I’m guessing, this is as close to a team up of the Doctor’s you will get. It’s not so much a team up as a gathering of common threads all leading to the unveiling of The Thirteenth Doctor. Last issue was a great start to proceedings, as much fun for seeing Ten strut his stuff after a little absence as for the mini-series this is all part of. Now, time for Eleven to remind us.

You would have to be living under a rock to not realise that a new Doctor is on the horizon, with the regeneration of Peter Capaldi’s Doctor last Christmas into Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor. It’s a regeneration of course that has divided Who fandom, with vocal fans and critics alike. Me? I’m on the fence. Although not a casting I think is a slam dunk, and with Missy having already having played with that whole female Time Lord thing, I’m not sure a female Doctor was the right thing to do right now. That being said, it has been done, she has been cast, and I’m happy to give both the show and The Doctor every chance. Remember when fans were up in arms when Matt Smith was cast because he was...

A whole lot of new this issue. New story arc, ‘Time of the Ood’, new writer in James Peaty and new artist in I.N.J Culbard. Although the last adventure was nicely wrapped up last issue, the ongoing plot thread of The Sapling continues. The Sapling was originally designed as a biological weapon of mass destruction, but after a par for the course mishap ended up with the combined memories of both Alice and The Doctor while still essentially an immature child. I suspect The Doctor wants to see if The Sapling can be steered through careful nurture away from its destiny of destruction. Plot wise that’s the long game, so time to focus on the here and now.

All change from last issue as we have another of those ‘interlude’ issues, where a different creative team fill in on the book for an issue. Having noticed something similar on other Doctor Who books, one could almost think they are trying to get ahead of the schedules for some big Summer event….but I digress. Last issue of course saw the wrap up of the ancient China / Cindy clones adventure, and the defeat of The Red Jade General. Really missing that Red Tardis. As Gabby sits in the Tardis following that adventure, her mind goes back to a previous one.
Where is the glamorous setting for this adventure? Prehistory? The end of time? A galaxy, far, far away? Er, London. Present day. Gabby is thrilled, The Doctor strangely less so. It seems The Doctor is not particularly...

Well this issue, ‘The Boy With the Displaced Smile’, is apparently an interlude adventure that The Doctor had before re-uniting with Hattie as we saw last issue. Officially, this is The Doctor’s mind going back to a previous adventure, even as him and Hattie are threatened in the present by that shambling seaweed monster. Unofficially, I’m guessing this may be a inventory stand alone issue, usually to help a creative team catch up with the publishing schedule. So, a little disappointed I won’t be seeing the second part of The Doctor and Hattie’s adventure, but also a little curious to see what this stand-alone story would bring.
The Doctor lands in the 1950′s American town of Sweet Haven, seemingly being terrorised by rampaging townspeople. Oh, and there’s a Cheshire Cat like huge grinning mouth in the sky.

Blockbusters often rely on spectacle to hit big, but Hollywood’s obsession with event movies is hurting the stories it tells, Ryan argues
In the summer of 1989, Batman became just about inescapable. Tim Burton’s movie was a huge hit in cinemas, and all of a sudden, the black-out-of-yellow bat logo was emblazoned on just about everything: T-shirts, lunchboxes, billboard posters. In later interviews, Burton himself would concede that Batman had become not such a movie as an event - a pop cultural artefact whose images and sounds had spread so far, and so fast, that it had become something more than just a piece of fun, escapist entertainment.
It’s more than a quarter of a century since the release of Batman, but Hollywood’s thirst for making movies that match its scale and impact - or so they hope - that the pursuit has become all-consuming.

Tucked away in Man Of Steel were plenty of fan shout-outs and hints about future DC Comics movies - here's what James spotted
This feature continues spoilers for Man Of Steel.
Superhero movies tend to spawn sequels. That's not news. And thanks to the success of Avengers Assemble, it's entirely possible that there's a Justice League movie on the horizon, too. So it's tough, watching Man of Steel, not to look for clues about the future of the Superman story on the big screen.
And as a Superman fan, it's tough not to notice the multiple nods to other versions of the story - things that only the most devoted would pick up on. Here are nine Easter eggs hidden in the film that you may or may not have noticed first time round...

In a career spanning more than three decades, Irish writer and director Neil Jordan has created some unforgettable movies. Some, such as his adaptation of Angela Carter's The Company Of Wolves, or Mona Lisa, or The Crying Game, are cult classics.
His glossy 1994 vampire movie Interview With The Vampire was his biggest box-office hit to date, with its starry cast - including Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt - and the popularity of Anne Rice's source novels behind it.
Since then, Jordan's brought a varied range of movies to the screen, from thrillers (In Dreams, The Brave One, The Good Thief) to dramas (The End Of The Affair, Breakfast On Pluto).

With the new Superman movie Man Of Steel barely a month from release, early interviews with the film's cast and crew are beginning to filter out.

For nearly 30 years the Sundance Film Festival has been the pre-eminent North American independent film showcase. Helping to make the names and careers of filmmakers as diverse as Steven Soderbergh, Kevin Smith, Quentin Tarantino Bryan Singer and Christopher Nolan the festival's reach has now spread even further thanks to the inaugural Sundance London show in 2012.
But despite Sundance’s enviable influence at the top of the film tree not every movie – or even award winner – shown at the festival ends up becoming as ubiquitous as Sex, Lies and Videotape or Clerks.
Fast approaching is the Sundance London 2013 festival (full details on that are here), whose line-up is set to be announced on March 11th. The event runs from 25-28 April, and tickets go on sale at the end of next week.

An on-form Steven Soderbergh serves up a cracking medical thriller. Here's James' review of the tense Side Effects...
Not without its undoubted highs, it’s fair to say that Steven Soderbergh’s directorial career has been something of a mixed bag. Despite a blistering start, with his Palme d’Or winning debut, Sex, Lies And Videotape (1989) effectively serving as the blueprint for American independent film in the 1990s, the outspoken ‘auteur’ then spent most of that decade sliding further and further into obscurity with a series of flawed, frustrating and ultimately unsuccessful features.
Regaining his creative compass with 1998’s Elmore Leonard adaptation, Out Of Sight, the relative critical and commercial success of that picture – coupled with his potent creative relationship with star George Clooney – found the director propelled back into the limelight.
Capitalising on that success, between 1999 and 2002 the prolific Soderbergh produced a golden...

When Vincent Canby famously described Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992) as "…not the worst movie ever made; it just seems to be," the renowned Us critic was merely reflecting the overwhelming response to David Lynch’s big-screen prequel to his recently cancelled TV show.
Audibly jeered by the notoriously fickle festival crowd at its unveiling in Cannes, even fellow filmmakers joined the chorus of disapproval against Lynch.
At the festival for the first time with his debut feature, Reservoir Dogs, director Quentin Tarantino went so far as to say: "I’m not ragging on other people, but after I saw Fwwm […] David Lynch has disappeared so far up his own ass that I have no desire to watch another […] Lynch film until I hear something different.

Davies to guest-write an episode, how long Matt Smith will stay in the role ("Forever, for the rest of time"), the showrunner's least and most favourite self-penned episodes, and why The Big Bang was given that title.

It’s been a tough few years if you’re a fan of The Terminator franchise. With the creative belly flop that was Terminator Salvation (2009) coming just a few months after the cancellation of TV spin-off, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, you’d have been forgiven for thinking the game was finally up for the once venerable series.
However, thanks to the bankruptcy of former rights holder, The Halcyon Company, and the deep pockets of producer Megan Ellison’s Annapurna Pictures, the franchise now finds itself at a potentially interesting crossroads.
