Labor day weekend saw a host of new films; few of them showing any signs of box office msucle.

Tropic Thunder enjoys another good week but The Rocker and The Longshots limp into the game.

While Dark Knight bows out from the top spot to make room for the star power of Tropic Thunder, it holds its place as the number two domestic blockbuster of all-time and the number one global smash of this year.

In Part II of our conversation with former Village Voice critic Nathan Lee, we delve deeper into his recent public break with the Voice and get his thoughts on the future of film criticism...and it doesn't look pretty.

For better or worse, recently departed Village Voice writer Nathan Lee has become something of a poster boy for the disappearance of the film critic. Read on for the first in our two-part interview with the incredibly intelligent, delightfully profane critic in which Lee answers our Meet a Critic questionnaire.

Three spoof movies in one year! Is America fortunate or what? Following January's Meet the Spartans and March's Superhero Movie, the genre comes roaring back with Disaster Movie, cobbled together from trailers, Internet memes, and films dating as far back as December 2007. But the spoof genre runs a deeper cinematic legacy than current trends suggests, and in this week's Total Recall we salute the filmmakers who paved the genre's path and made it possible for Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer to find jobs.

Does a new collection of webisodes hosted on MySpace and featuring tabloid teen favourites Jamie Dornan and Lois Winstone constitute a revival of the Hammer Horror film? Not so, says Kim Newman...

One documentary from the US last year spoke to avid videogamers more than any other, and in the process told a brilliantly human story about good, evil and Donkey Kong. In this week's Further Reading, Kim Newman celebrates The King of Kong.

The Dark Knight is setting cinemas alight all over the world, but, as Kim Newman discovers, there are other Batman movies that aren't quite so well known... James Batman - which crosses the caped crusader with suave spy James Bond - probably didn't attract much Oscar buzz, nor was the word "masterpiece" mentioned in its reviews, but for completists, is it worth seeing? Does the Filipino film industry's flouting of international copyright law deliver a treat?
