            <title>Iron Man 3 : Robert Downey Junior is a wimp, says Gwyneth Paltrow</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blogs.sundaymercury.net/anorak-city/Downey%20and%20Paltrow%20Iron%20Man%203.jpg"><img alt="Downey and Paltrow Iron Man 3.jpg" src="http://blogs.sundaymercury.net/anorak-city/assets_c/2013/04/Downey and Paltrow Iron Man 3-thumb-450x669-198858.jpg" width="450" height="669" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></a></p>

<p>Gwyneth Paltrow has branded her Iron Man co-star Robert Downey Junior a "wimp" - after she donned the superhero suit for their latest film.</p>

<p>The actress, who stars as Pepper Potts with Downey in Iron Man 3, says the new film was her chance to "kick ass".</p>

<p>Appearing on tomorrow night's Graham Norton Show, she reveals: "I get to do a bit of action and I get to wear the Iron Man suit for a while - it's very cool.</p>

<p>"It's quite cumbersome but not so bad. I thought it was going to be terrible because in the first two movies Robert would put on the suit and start sweating, he'd have a nervous breakdown and would meditate and cry. He was in hell.</p>

<p>"So, I was like, 'Wow, I'd better start mentally preparing myself for the suit,' and I put it on and was like, 'This guy is a wimp, it's really not that bad."'</p>

<p>The actress tells the chat show host that her son Moses is "a big fan" of the films.</p>

<p>"I'll never forget his face when he saw me walk out in the suit," she reveals. "It was a really good moment."</p>

<p>This week's show, which also includes Olympic runner Mo Farah and comic Lee Mack, is on BBC One at 10.35pm tomorrow.</p>]]></description>

            <title>Star Trek Into Darkness : Japanese trailer's extra scene revisits Spock's death</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>The Into Darkness trailers have been knocking about for a while now.</p>

<p>But have you seen the extended Japanese teaser?</p>

<p>Doesn't that final scene seem, well, rather familiar?</p>

<p>We're thinking the death of Spock in Wrath of Khan.</p>

<p>How about you?</p>

            <title>The Amazing Spider-Man : who is the mystery man in the secret end credits scene? </title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blogs.sundaymercury.net/anorak-city/SPIDER-MAN%20ADDED%20SCENE.jpg"><img alt="SPIDER-MAN ADDED SCENE.jpg" src="http://blogs.sundaymercury.net/anorak-city/assets_c/2012/07/SPIDER-MAN ADDED SCENE-thumb-450x242-185092.jpg" width="450" height="242" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></a></p>

<p>It's the question that has got Marvel Comics fans guessing.</p>

<p>Just who is the mystery man in the 'secret' end-credits scene that pops up after The Amazing Spider-Man movie has finished?</p>

<p>The scene begins with the captured Dr Curt Connors being locked away in a prison cell.</p>

<p>Lightning strikes, and suddenly, there's another man in the shadows of the prison cell.</p>

<p>"Hello, Doctor!" rasps the man. "Did you tell the boy?"</p>

<p>"Tell him what?" asks Connors.</p>

<p>"Did you tell the boy the truth about his father?"</p>

<p>The man steps into the light just a little bit. We can see that he has long hair, and is holding a hat - looks like a fedora - in his hands.</p>

<p>"No."</p>

<p>"Well, that's very good. So we'll let him be for now."</p>

<p>The man walks away as Dr. Connors screams: "You should leave him alone!"</p>

<p>But the man has simply disappeared.</p>

<p>Rhys Ifans, who plays The Lizard, says: "Connors is sent to an asylum, a high-security asylum, and he's visited by, shall we say, a representative from OsCorp.</p>

            <title>Prometheus: only Scott and Lindelof know the answer</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blogs.sundaymercury.net/anorak-city/prometheus_david.jpg"><img alt="prometheus_david.jpg" src="http://blogs.sundaymercury.net/anorak-city/assets_c/2012/06/prometheus_david-thumb-450x225-184052.jpg" width="450" height="225" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></a></p>

<p>So just what was it that android David said to the drowsy Engineer that caused chaos?</p>

<p>It's the question we all want answered after puzzling over the pivotal Prometheus moment.</p>

<p>And the news is that only two people know for sure - director Ridley Scott and screenwriter Damon Lindelof.</p>

<p>Apparently Lost legend Lindelof wanted to use subtitles so we could understand what went down.</p>

<p>But Scott, with an eye on the sequel no doubt, refused - leaving us all wondering what went wrong.</p>

<p>"David's dialogue with the Engineer has an English translation," admits Lindelof. "But Ridley felt very strongly about not subtitling it."</p>

<p>So we'll have to wait until the second instalment or, at the very least, the DVD commentary.</p>

<p>We saw Prometheus at Birmingham's Giant Screen Cinema, which lives up to its name as the biggest screen in the city, and offers a digital picture sharper than its IMAX predecessor.</p>

<p>The planet Prometheus landed on looked sensational on the big screen, and the thunder of the ship's engines made the seats shudder.</p>

<p>Our overall verdict: good rather than great.</p>

<p>Prometheus lacks the tension of Alien or the gung-ho action of Aliens, preferring to build the series mythology.</p>

<p>Michael Fassbender steals every scene as subtly sinister David but Noomi Rapace's Dr Elizabeth Shaw (named after the third Doctor Who's companion) is no Sigourney Weaver.</p>

<p>We loved the attention to detail and the references to the Alien universe, particularly Scott's tantalising teases (admit it, you expected Shaw to get into one of the spacesuits).</p>

<p>And, although we won't spoil the ending, we reckon they should have cut to black at the first sign of trouble - and left the rest to our imagination. Would have been far scarier!</p>

<p>The 58-year-old actor said he felt "really, really tired" after decades of punishing stunts and fight scenes.</p>

<p>Speaking at the launch of his new movie Chinese Zodiac ahead of the Cannes Film Festival, Chan said this would be the last time audiences see him in a leading action role.</p>

<p>"This is my last action film," he said. "I tell you, I'm not young any more. I'm really, really tired.</p>

<p>"And the world is too violent right now. It's a dilemma - I like action but I don't like violence."</p>

            <description><![CDATA[<p>CHLOE MORETZ says it was a "dream" to work with MARTIN SCORSESE - who she tricked into thinking she was British - in new film Hugo.</p>
<p>The 14-year-old US actress was selected by the acclaimed director to appear in the film after she hoodwinked him during her New York audition.</p>
<p>She said: "I completely fooled him into thinking I was a British actress and then at the end of the audition I went back into my American accent.</p>
<p>"He said 'hold on are you American? I was like 'I am American,' so I tricked Martin Scorsese."</p>]]></description>
