Simultaneously being what feels like a heartfelt farewell to Hugh...

The Night is Dark and Full of Spoilers It's come, it's been awesome and it's left us once again. Game of Thrones has finished off its sixth season, leaving fanboys and fangirls everywhere in a post-coital-like bliss until the dread of the wait for season 7 sets into their very souls. However, whilst the week-by-week waiting period between episodes bubbled with excitement and suspense in years past, something has also been disturbingly more present these last ten weeks. On your Facebook newsfeed, the dismay of coming across your friend's thirty-ninth baby photo in five days or even another rant about the EU Referendum result (We get it. You're sad. Stop.) has been accompanied by something darker and evil than all of the White Walkers, Joffrey’s and Ramsay Boltons combined: Game of Thrones spoilers. If you aren’t lucky enough to be in a job where you can afford time to watch the early 2am broadcast or even able to watch it Monday night because, well…. ...

A New Hope Another Star Wars film, another Lego game follows. Developer: Traveller's Tales, returns to give its usual serious-to-awesomely kooky spin on Force Awaken's epic adventure in video game form. Creating Lego franchise entries based on all other Star Wars films that have come before, the stakes are set even higher for Traveler's Tales when creating a game around The Force Awakens, which met such high levels of critical acclaim. A look into its available set of playable characters, set pieces and gameplay innovations included, the demo for this new instalment shows that it may just bring enough new to the table to be worth it's anticipation.  D'awww! Visuals from the minute you dive into the demo make you realise this is a Lego game in all the right ways. The entirety of the demo covers the chase sequence on the desert planet: Jakku. From on-screen inhabitants, characters and the set pieces surrounding them, visuals pop onscreen with t...

Chef is an independent comedy-drama written, produced, directed and starring Jon Faverau. It follows Faverau’s character, Carl Casper: A California chef whose creative style of cooking becomes stifled by the manager of his restaurant and an unfolded event. This leads him to go out on his own in a food truck to discover and cook as he pleases.  In a film industry with several blockbusters coming out each month, it becomes easier to get drowned in explosive, wow-factor escapisms that their $100 million (at minimum) budgets try to create. Some of these large-scale endeavours bring interesting narratives to the table, sure but it’s becoming less often we have the opportunity to be drawn into genuine human stories that have their productions based on their characters instead of the special effects. Alongside making you crave every meal you see onscreen, Chef does just that with it's explored themes and joyful spirit. A chef's wondrous creativity at it's best. A...

A Wild Time Since its announcement in July 2013, the prospect of a live action remake of Disney’s The Jungle Book made filmgoers sceptical. The idea sounded like another potential hash job based on popular, already-existing material for the sake of creating a new cash cow franchise, even if critical responses were negative. It seemed like it wouldn’t be a decent film in its own right. With the utilisation of technology; direction, performances combined together with a drive to actually create compelling story, the 2016 remake of The Jungle Book will positively prove naysayers wrong. Settings & Characters No location film sets were used for the creation of this film. From principal photography to the film itself, everything had taken place at L.A Center Studios in Los Angeles, with CGI taking care of the rest. Unless you were told this directly before viewing, The Jungle Book’s visuals would fool you completely into thinking otherwise. The visuals are astoundingly ...
