Torn Apart The Force Awakens Kylo Ren is my favourite Star Wars villain. Well, maybe Director Orson Krennic deserves a share of that particular pie. Kylo Ren is, at the vest least, my favourite villain of the Skywalker Saga. And, after all, that’s the deck we’re playing with in this monster countdown. Unsurprisingly, there is…

Asteroid Field The Empire Strikes Back The Empire Strikes Back is often hailed as the perfect movie and I totally understand why. It’s perfectly paced, with strong performances, a consistent tone and amazing visuals. And one scene in particular ticks all of the boxes. Technically speaking, it’s one of the most awe-inspiring moments in the…

Lesson One The Last Jedi I will never forget the first time I watched The Last Jedi. Myself and two friends grabbed some food before dashing across to the theatre for the midnight screening – my first ever launch night cinema experience. Event cinema is a different animal.

Rey’s Interrogation The Force Awakens When the team behind The Force Awakens scouted Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver from relative obscurity, they discovered a pair of top tier actors. Ridley’s been incredible as Rey at every turn, and Driver has brought immersive physicality to the role of Kylo Ren, as well as building quite the…
