Well, I must say I’m glad that we’re back, but there is a lot to catch up on! For Kervyn, this meant feverishly posting about every cool trailer that came out while we didn’t have a website (Star Trek Beyond, The Legend of Tarzan and Independence Day: Resurgence to name but a few). For me, this meant having to put four …
PLEASE NOTE: Because I have been obsessed with Star Wars for most of my life, and can talk about it at incredible length, this review is long. Very long. But it is also very SPOILER FREE. You’re welcome. I am a Star Wars nut and I liked The Phantom Menace. There, I said it. In my defense though, most of …

And the Star Wars: The Force Awakens director/co-writer has given Wired quite an expose, chatting to them about a huge number of aspects of the upcoming highly anticipated movie. If you’re a fan of Abrams, Star …
When it was announced that Star Wars: The Force Awakens would be seeing the main original trilogy cast return, it was a really big deal for fans. Now we could finally witness the great Jedi master that Mark Hamill’s Luke Skywalker had become in the 30 years since we last saw him. Except we totally haven’t. Despite a handful of …
Despite all the rumours, leaked set pics, official images, character descriptions, trailers, merchandising and more, there’s still a lot we don’t know about Star Wars: The Force Awakens (this is a JJ Abrams movie, after all). And one of those unknowns is definitely Gwendoline Christie’s Captain Phasma, one of the villainous First Order’s military leaders. For starters, we had already …
Have you ever double-checked your doors at night because something just didn’t feel secure? …
