Advertisements are hijacking my browser, closing the tab I am viewing and playing a video with vlc media player. How can I block this?

I assume one of the sites I regularly visit is doing this. But it is always the tab I am currently viewing that gets closed when the video starts. And it is just an unwanted advert. Well, they are all unwanted, get it? I would guess that the site with the most advert activity is http://www.imdb.com/
