Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
- 25 Jun 2009
News that the BBFC is now classifying films with an eye for discrimination and prejudice, as well as the long-established parameters of sex and violence, is intriguing and welcome, on one level, perplexing and worrying on another.

Writers' strikes, internet piracy and even multiple Razzie-nominee Norbet could not keep film lovers away from the flicks in 2007 it seems, as new figures from the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) show US and global box office hit all-time highs last year. According to MPAA's latest report, which was published in Los Angeles this week, the United States box office takings broke the $9.6 billion (£4.76 billion) barrier in 2007, while takings in the rest of the world increased 4.9 Read more
