The Dark Knight Rises poster

To date, there are currently ten films that have crossed that almost unimaginable threshold of taking more than a billion dollars at the worldwide box office, a record first broken in 1998 by James Cameron’s epic, Titanic, which stayed at the top of the US box office for fifteen straight weeks, a record it still [...]




What Thirteen Years and an Extra Dimension have done for The Phantom Menace

Phantom Menace

Thirteen years earlier I was in Leicester Square to witness a moment which had long been rumoured, promised then teased when the first of the Star Wars prequel trilogy was released.

In the past few months, we’ve seen the brilliant first poster and trailer for the 3D re-release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace to whet our appetites for the film’s return to the big screen at the start of next year.

Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace 3D Poster

Looking on the bright side this is the chance to see all six Star Wars films on the big screen once again, but the competence of the 3D conversion will have to be decent to make this a worthwhile return. Certainly these 3D re-releases will become very big business over the next decade or so [...]




Star Wars: The Complete Saga Blu-ray Review

star wars blu-ray art

Reviewing this box set when it is out in stores and in all probability snapped up by eager Star Wars fans seems a little unnecessary. The promise of a shiny high def transfer and the long awaited deleted scenes from the Original Trilogy conspire to tempt you to part with your cash once more, to [...]




In Defence Of – The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy

in defence of the prequel trilogy star wars

Over the past few months, we here at HeyUGuys have offered up a number of arguments in defense of underestimated filmmakers, their flawed films and the trends that haunt Hollywood even to this day. Never, however, has a property been more deserving of a rebuttal than George Lucas’ Star Wars prequel trilogy – an alleged [...]




Six Of The Best – Star Wars Set Pieces

six of the best set pieces star wars

This may be an exercise in futility, or at least an attempt to distil down a real wealth of material into a fairly artificial concept, however in honour of the Star Wars franchise finally making its way onto Blu-ray, here are my considered nominations for the best set pieces, one per film, of the whole [...]

Seven Great Scenes in Otherwise Not-So-Great Films

Phantom Menace

Most films, however awful they may be, always contain at least one nugget of cinematic richness. Below is our list of seven features (some of which are plain disappointments, while others are just plain bad) that all share a commonality in regards to the inclusion of one scene where that ticket purchase or time invested [...]




The Matrix Revisited – A Summer of Surprise

The Matrix Bullet Time

As the summer of 1999 approached, it was all supposed to be about one film – The Phantom Menace. At long last, some 16 years after Anakin joined Yoda and Obi-Wan in the glowing afterlife, we were going to find out how it all got started.
