We all fell in love with the Portokalos family from My Big Fat Greek Wedding – and now the second instalment is about to hit our screens.

You know the deal, when you're single you can't avoid a million family members asking when you're going to settle down and find the right person.

Well, the original romantic comedy was centred around just that as 30-year-old Toula was still unmarried and her parents were freaking out.

But then Toula fell in love with Ian (swoon), a hot and handsome teacher, and the big fat Greek wedding was underway!

This time round the Portokalos are coming back bigger and better than ever – and this movie is guaranteed to have a great few laughs.

Toula now has a grown daughter, and her big Greek family will not stop following her around (we know the feeling!).

But as one problem is solved, another one pops up – and it's going to surprise you all. 

Watch the trailer now – you're going to be mega excited about it when you see the beloved Portokalos family together again.

See you at the cinema on March 25th…

They have been broken up for months now, but it seems that things might be taking a turn for the best for Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick. 

The duo were spotted with their six-year-old son, Mason and three-year-old daughter, Penelope, heading to the cinema together for a family day out. 

It's the first appearance the pair have made together this year and it seems that things must be going well for them since one of their many problems was Scott not spending enough time with his kids. 

The pair were separated on New Year's Eve though, with Scott ringing in 2016 at a Las Vegas party and Kourtney celebrating the new year at home with her sister Kim and some friends. 

Kourtney and Scott first broke up in July of last year, when he was clearly partying a little too hard for a father-of-three. 

But, after the 32-year-old completed another stint in rehab, Kourtney has been spending more and more time with him, sparking rumours of a reconciliation.

We have been anticipating the release of Room for well over a year now and thank goodness, we don't have to wait much longer. 

To appease our appetites, a brand new trailer has been released and it has pretty much cemented the fact that this will no doubt be the first film we go to see in 2016. 

Based on the hit novel of the same name written by Irish author Emma Donoghue, the movie version has been tackled by esteemed Irish director Lenny Abrahamson, known for such titles as Frank and What Richard Did

Room tells the story of a mother, played by up and coming American actress Brie Larson, and her 5-year-old son who are finally released back into the world after years spent in captivity. 

The film is already receiving highly positive reviews and there are murmurs that the film may enjoy some Oscar nominations at the 2016 awards. 

Room will be in cinemas on the 15th of January, but in the meantime enjoy the trailer below.

Released back in 2003, Finding Nemo has since had a very special place in our hearts.

We've had to wait more than 12 years for details of the sequel, but now, FINALLY, Finding Dory is officially en route. 

Yes, mark June 17, 2016 in your diaries: that will be the day that you'll be going to the cinema to see Ellen Degeneres reprieve her fishy role.

Better still, a trailer has also today been released – giving us all a precious, sneak 90second peak into the action that will hit screens next summer.

Meanwhile, the poster for the animated movie – which picks up six months after the action ends in the first film – was furthermore unveiled yesterday, and features Dory's classic catchphrase: "Just keep swimming."

When released, Finding Nemo proved a MASSIVE success for Disney and Pixar – racking in €875m worldwide.

We can’t deny it, but we do love a good freebie from time to time. There’s nothing better than being rewarded for our loyal customer service than getting an extra surprise after parting with our hard earned cash.

Well, it seems like the people at Meteor have read our minds because they’re launching their new Extras programme. The network wants to say thank you to their customers by offering them a little something extra.

The new loyalty programme, launched by the aptly titled ‘World’s Greatest Extra’ Jesse Heiman is designed to give Meteor customers some special gifts to say thank you.

Director of Meteor Maeve O’Malley said about the programme:

“We designed Extras with our customers in mind, so you can do the things you love for less – eat out, go out and catch a movie every month. Meteor has had incredible success over the years and there’s a real affection for us as an Irish brand, and Extras is our way of giving something back.”

Customers across the country will be able to avail of free cinema tickets every month in over 35 cinemas. You can also get 2 for 1 dining experiences in a range of restaraunts including Captain America’s and Milano.

2 for 1 Day Out offers are also available for various spots around the country including Thomond Park Stadium and Eagles Flying (Sligo).

So why choose Jesse to launch the programme?

Jesse earned his title after appearing in over 75 films. You may not recognise his name though, because rather than take centre stage, he’s become known as the industry’s most well-known extra.

He’s even managed to befriend A-Listers like Tom Hanks and Hilary Duff, without even having to learn any lines! Viewed by over one billion people, the 2013 Superbowl ad featuring Jesse and Bar Rafaeli getting up close and personal made sure he became something of a pop culture phenomenon.
