It's almost time for Britain's Got Talent again - what else are weekends for? But if you just can't wait for the episode... well, sorry, you're going to have to, we can't change time.
What we can do is bring you ten teasers about what to expect, so read on for some hints about what's coming up...
1. One auditionee injures themselves before they go on stage and has to receive medical attention - will it affect the act?
2. Simon finally challenges David to put his money where his mouth is and set up his own record label - then probably wishes he'd never said that.
3. One of the acts tries to break a world record.
4. Peter Andre's brother's wedding gets quite a few mentions thanks to one act.
5. You guessed it - there's another golden buzzer. We've had Ant & Dec's and Simon's... so whose is it this week?
6. David...

The movie mogul on why he loves the Brits, making films for his children and how giving up M&Ms made him a better person
How are you and what are you doing?
I'm in New York City, it's snowing, freezing cold and for some unfathomable reason, I'm about to walk down the street to my office. Other than that, I'm fabulous.
Your new film, Escape from Planet Earth, is the Weinstein Company's first animation, right?
The first one we've made from scratch, yeah. Funnily enough, it's about two brothers who squabble all the time. I wouldn't know anything about that, of course [Harvey runs the Weinstein Company with his brother Bob]. One of the brothers is a larger-than-life alien hero who gets sent to Area 51, where he's imprisoned, so the quieter brother has to go and rescue him. Every weekend, my four daughters insist I drive them to the movie theatre and watch the latest animated film. So...

The Big Bang Theory, Season 7, Episode 3, “The Scavenger Vortex”
Directed by Mark Cendrowski
Written by Dave Goetsch, Eric Kaplan & Steve Holland (Story), Steven Molaro, Jim Reynolds & Maria Ferrari (Teleplay)
Airs Thursdays at 8pm Est on CBS
Following its rather rocky start to the season, The Big Bang Theory delivers an outstanding episode this week. “The Scavenger Vortex” continues with this new pattern that the show has adapted since the start of the season- although the episode doesn’t exactly move the story forward, it does work as a great platform for some of the characters to interact and this week the pairings are even more hilarious than last week.
As The Big Bang Theory continues to explore Raj adapting to single life again, it was starting to look like he will turn into a poorly written character such as New Girl‘s Winston. However Tbbt does a better job this...

While Tom Hiddleston effortlessly oozes sex appeal whether he’s battling hunky on-screen brother Chris Hemsworth in the Thor and The Avengers films or, more recently, singing ‘Bare Necessities” at this past weekend’s D23 Disney Expo, you’ll be hard-pressed to find anything hotter than Hiddleston letting the written word of William Shakespeare fall from his oh-so-divine lips.
While playing Loki in the Marvel Studios films may get him buckets of exposure these days, spend some time sitting across from the engaging Hiddleston talking about his role as King Henry V in PBS’s Great Performances: The Hollow Crown miniseries next month, as this reporter did recently, and you’ll see the Brit’s eyes light up and his enthusiasm become more than a little intoxicating.
The Hollow Crown, which begins September 20th on PBS, features productions of Shakespeare’s Richard II, Henry IV, Part 1 and 2 and Henry V.

It’s no secret that there has been some turmoil in getting World War Z just right for the big screen. Knowing that the ending was completely redone was probably a big contributing factor to the slew of remixed TV spots.
It looks like all that turmoil has had very little effect on box office with a strong opening of $66 million in North America and $111.8 million worldwide as reported by THR. And even though its original thought was to be the start of a trilogy, when the rewrite happened that idea was scrapped, but with all the big box office news, it looks like we’re in for a sequel at least. In the same article, Rob Moore (Vice Chairman of Paramount Studios) says that “Paramount actively will turn to developing a sequel.”
Much of that trilogy had to do with a character played by Matthew Fox (Lost). If you...

In tonight's summer finale, a time-jump puts Annie (Piper Perabo) back in the action and on the hunt for Lena (Sarah Clarke).
Annie the Avenger
I really enjoyed seeing Annie go full-on Emily Thorne in tonight's episode and seek revenge against Lena for her betrayal. (And as a bonus, it allows Piper Perabo to give a truly phenomenal performance.) Annie has always been a very emotional character but she was usually able to separate her feelings from her mission. That changed when Simon entered the picture. We have already seen Annie make several questionable choices thanks to her relationship with Simon so it makes sense that his death would be the thing that pushes her over the edge.
Most of these agents have gone rogue at some point during the series, but Annie takes things further than ever before in tonight's episode. Not only is she risking her own life...

We first meet Simon curled up inside a garbage can… pardon me, a “space ship.” Simon, played by Bill Skarsgard, has Asperger’s. This means he thinks differently from those around him. Simon has an affection for circles, a fascination with space, and a terrible time dealing with change in his life. Simon lives with his brother Sam, played by Martin Wollstrom, the only person who knows how to talk with Simon so he understand. Unfortunately, when Sam’s girlfriend can no longer take the eccentricities of living with Simon, she leaves, causing Sam to slip into a depression. This is when the fun starts.
Written by Jonathan Sjoberg and directed by Andreas Ohman, Simple Simon is not a traditional romantic comedy. The film has a similar cute absurdity as Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Amelie. The story takes us into the mind of Simon as he struggles to find a solution to his brother’s depression,...

In comedy circles it’s generally agreed that Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong are among the best writers currently working in the field, and with credits like Peep Show and last year’s film Four Lions already under their belts, any new show by the duo is going to be eagerly anticipated. The trouble is, when you keep raising the bar eventually you’re going to clatter into it, and sadly that’s what’s happened to them with their latest Channel 4 venture Fresh Meat (which premiered last night on Channel 4). Don’t get me wrong, Fresh Meat isn’t terrible, it’s just it’s not that good either.
The basic plot of the show follows six mismatched characters who’ve missed out on getting into their university halls of residence and find themselves thrown together under one roof. As a result of which we’re presented...

"The Eye", made by the Hong Kong twin brothers Danny and Oxide Pang, is a stylish horror flick that was a hit in Asia.
It possesses a smart concept (unlike, say, "Identity") and takes no illogical, improbable turns while delivering its chills. Given the success of "The Ring" and its Japanese precursor, adventurous American filmgoers should readily take to this Cantonese-language film, slated for a June release by Palm Pictures. ("The Eye II" is in production.)
The tale's protagonist, Wong Kar Mun Lee Sin-je), has been blind since age 2. She lives in Hong Kong with her cantankerous grandmother and her sister, a flight attendant. At the movie's opening, Mun is about to undergo a corneal transplant in both eyes, with the hope that she'll regain her sight. The operation is a success, but her new corneas bring her frightening visions.
She encounters specters who terrorize her with cryptic complaints: "I'm freezing", moans an old woman. "I'm hungry", says a young boy eating a candle, waxy flakes falling from his mouth. Mun not only sees dead people, she sees Death itself.
As Mun begins to retreat to her room and back into darkness, her handsome young therapist, Dr. Lo (Lawrence Chou), who's helping Mun deal with her new sensory input, grows concerned. He hears her fantastic story and realizes he and Mun must learn more about the corneas' donor if they are to understand the apparitions.
There are some frighteningly creepy moments, such as when Dr. Lo shows Mun a picture of her adult self for the first time, and she doesn't see what she expects (or what we expect). And when Mun first regains her sight, we see with her blurred vision: everything ghostly, indistinct and vaguely threatening. The movie also earns its fiery finish, without resulting to trickery, as "The Sixth Sense" did.
The movie's biggest achievement may be Lee's performance. Long after Mun's bandages have come off, Lee still gives Mun an unblinking, unfocused look, suggesting that even though Mun can see, she doesn't know what she's looking at. Her terror is palpable, and her attempts to erase not only her specters but her newfound sight as well are heartbreaking. Mun knew who she was as a blind person; by gaining her sight, she's lost her identity and, quite possibly, her sanity.
Not everything works in this film. The Pangs rely too much on blaring music cues to make the audience jump, and they haven't a clue how to handle romance.
The brothers' previous film together, "Bangkok: Dangerous", wasn't much more than an extended music video. This time around, they've made a real movie.
