UK Release Date: 19 December 2019 Certification: 12A Director: J.J. Abrams Cast: John Boyega, Anthony Daniels, Adam Driver, Carrie Fisher, Oscar Isaac, Ian McDiarmid, Daisy Ridley, Joonas Suotamo, Billy Dee Williams Rating:   60 % "This will be the final word in the story of Skywalker." Review In 1977, a low budget science fiction movie made by a then relatively unknown director, George Lucas was released. 42 years later The Skywalker Saga comes to an end. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is a great movie. I cannot review Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker without spoiling aspects of the movie, so be warned there are spoilers ahead. My favourite element of the movie, was the returning cast members. Harrison Ford, Sir Alec Guinness, Mark Hamill, Samuel L. Jackson, James Earl Jones, Ewan McGregor, Liam Neeson, Frank Oz and Andy Serkus amongst many others all returned for small roles. These appearances and in some instances one line cameos helped bring The Skywal...

May the 4th be with you! I am very excited following the release of the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker trailer - the movie comes out in the UK on the 19th of December 2019. And since today is Star Wars Day, I thought I would rank the Star Wars movie franchise. 10. Star Wars: Attack of the Clones 09. Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith 08. Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 07. Star Wars: The Last Jedi 06. Solo: A Star Wars Story 05. Star Wars: The Force Awakens 04. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story 03. Star Wars: Return of the Jedi 02. Star Wars: A New Hope 01. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...." Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back is my favourite because of the iconic line, “Luke, I am your father." Arguably, one of the best scenes in a movie ever and other Star Wars movies have failed to replicate this jaw-dropping plot twist. This blog post is dedicated to Peter Mayhew who died on April 30th at...

UK Release Date: 24 May 2018 Certification: 12A Director: Ron Howard Cast: Paul Bettany, Emilia Clarke, Anthony Daniels, Warwick Davis, Alden Ehrenreich, Jon Favreau, Donald Glover, Woody Harrleson, Joonas Suotamo Rating:   64 % "I've got a bad feeling about this." Review: Solo: A Star Wars Story is different from every other movie in the Star Wars franchise. Set before Star Wars: A New Hope , Solo: A Star Wars Story is an origin story detailing how Han Solo becomes involved in the criminal underworld of the galaxy. The character Han Solo was recently named the Greatest Sci-fi Character of all time by Total Film magazine. Synonymous with Harrison Ford and his legendary performance in the original trilogy, I thought that Alden Ehrenreich did a good job of portraying Han Solo. Alden Ehrenreich is what you would imagine a young Han Solo to look like and importantly act like. He brings charisma, sarcasm and a believable partnership with Chewbacca to the ro...

UK Release Date: 17 December 2009 Certification: 12A Director: James Cameron Cast: Stephan Lang, Joel David Moore, Michelle Rodriguez, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Sam Worthington Rating: 85% I speak for the trees. Review: Avatar , for me, is the best sci-fi movie that I have seen since I first watched the original Star Wars trilogy.  The lead performances from Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana are excellent in Avatar . Sam Worthington plays a disabled ex-marine, Jake Sully, who takes the place of his brother on an exhibition to Pandora after his brother is shot and killed. Jake's role on the exhibition is to pilot a human-Na'vi hybrid, an avatar. Usually the Na'vi kill avatars but Neytiri (Zoe Saldana's character) is shown a sign from their deity, Eywa when she first encounters Jake's avatar. T he leader of the Na'vi decides that Jake should be trained in the ways of the Na'vi. Jake learns the ways of the Na'vi and is embraced as one of...
