IT's the clash of the titans at the cinema this week.

The massive metal monsters the Transformers will do battle at the box office with the giant yellow doughball that is Homer Simpson.

The long-awaited Simpsons movie opens this week, at the same time as Transformers, Michael Bay's special effects blockbuster based on the popular 80s toy figures.

Time will tell to see whether there's enough room on the planet for the both of 'em, but one thing is for sure . . . the cinemas are going to be busy this weekend!
