Just when we thought we saw the end of the space opera franchise in May 2005 with the final prequel Revenge Of The Sith and George Lucas’ ‘retirement’ in 2011. However, that all changed in October 2012 following Disney’s purchase of LucasFilm for $4 billion and the quick announcement of a Star Wars: […]

We can all think of some brilliant scenes in our favourite movies that include a shoot out, a duel, a battle or a fight. And more often than not, weapons are involved. Sure, any old Michael Bay movie features an array of M16s, and you’ll probably find a Tommy Gun […]

Often in films we are given characters that the writers make out to be ‘cool’. They are often given a typical ‘cool’ career (cop, ninja) and we are left expecting them to evolve into a tough hero or villain. Sometimes, they never do. Here are three examples of characters who […]

Let’s be honest, 2012 was fantastic for film. We were given the finale of the Dark Knight trilogy, the most action-packed superhero movie yet, Avengers Assemble, and some other fantastic scripts like Looper, Life of Pi and Silver Linings Playbook.
