It’s hard to believe but we’re already approaching a week since Star Wars Celebration came to an end. After a year off, it was back with a bang this year with 5 days of news and panels. Now unfortunately, I had neither the funds or the time off to fly from the UK to Chicago, […]

Obviously, though the continental US is much larger, South Africa isn’t exactly small (it’s roughly the size of Alaska) so it still takes a while to get around. The major highways mostly have just one […]

A scalding black comedy set in Los Angeles, it starts by skewering the movie industry, including the self-exiled British wing, […]
