For some reason (I suspect too much hayfever medication), the only thing I can remember about Gallipoli, the highly acclaimed 1981 World War I drama which I watched in History class at high school, is the image of a very young Mel Gibson running breakneck between the trenches as gunfire whizzed all around him.

What is Space Hulk: Deathwing? A game that looks over the top and wonderfully violent towards aliens, that's what.
Who would ever have thought that Bradley Cooper, the guy who starred in Kitchen Confidential and The Midnight Meat Train, would one day not only be starring in a movie from writer-director Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous, Jerry Maguire), but that he would arguably be a bigger drawcard than the Oscar-winning filmmaker.

And then somebody probably noticed a lot of very expensive CGI was used to change Pitt’s age, and said “Ah, screw it! Let’s just keep her the …
Monogamy! Bah da dah dada! Monogamy! Bah dah dada! Monogamy! Unless those damn Muppets were lying, I think I got the song right. And it’s a tune that’ll most likely be hummed to death in Judd Apatow’s latest romantic comedy, which stars Amy Schumer as the kind of gal who isn’t interested in having a ring or even a two-date …
