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 [...]
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. It hadn’t started well. The Phantom Menace seemed too quirky a title, however the cast was good – Ewan McGregor as a young Alec [...]
We are literally just days away from the 3D re-release of the first film in one of cinema’s biggest franchises, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. Yesterday, we saw some never-before-seen images that took us behind the scenes of the film. And today, we have a great new featurette, courtesy of Yahoo Movies, [...]
To celebrate the release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace 3D which arrives in cinemas February 9th, we are giving away two pairs of tickets to an exclusive advance screening on Wednesday the 8th February. The screening will take place at a West End venue (this will be revealed once you receive your [...]
If you weren’t aware, Star Wars is coming back to the cinema (I know!) and this time it’ll be coming at you in eye-popping 3D. At least that’s what the promotions that I’ve seen for it so far have been telling us! The other day we had a lovely post for the Darth Vader burger [...]
To celebrate the launch of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace in 3D we have teamed up with costume retailer Escapade fancy dress for a competition giving you the chance to win one of two awesome and covetable prizes. The Star Wars fancy dress gear up for grabs includes one fantastic Star Wars [...]
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. I wasn’t a frequent cinemagoer when the film first came out in [...]
Twentieth Century Fox have released what I believe is the first trailer for the 3D re-release of Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace 3. The movie will be coming back to the cinema February 2012 in glorious 3D to make George Lucas a bit more money just incase he needed it! If you missed [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
This may be an exercise in futility, or at least an attempt to distill 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 [...]
LucasFilm has announced that the highly anticipated Star Wars: The Complete Saga Blu-ray boxset will be released on September 12th around the world and September 16th in the US. The boxset will feature all six films – A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones [...]
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 [...]
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. We were teased with an awesome poster, showing young [...]
Kyle Newman’s epic struggle to bring his Star Wars road trip movie to eager audiences is well documented and we’re lucky enough to be getting the Blu-ray and DVD on the 4th of October. Craig saw the film at Frightfest, you can read his thoughts here, and we hope to be able to bring you [...]
Halloween 1998 and Eric (Sam Huntington), Linus (Chris Marquette), Windows (Jay Baruchel) and Hutch (Dan Fogler) are at a party debating Star Wars trivia. The friends have done this for years and apart from Eric, who is trying to ‘get on with his life’, the friends seem happy with their fanboy lives. Desperate to see [...]
James Cameron’s Avatar is now certain to become the highest grossing movie of all time, both at the domestic US Box Office and internationally, well, sort of. Factor in inflation and things look a little different. Ed crunches the numbers and finds out if today’s blockbusters are really more popular than their counterparts from yesteryear.
Continuing our pioneering look at movies from reality’s underside, HUG once again connects to her sister site in a parallel universe to bring you the kind of lowdown that would never make it to a hard copy publication on quality control grounds. It’s a place where Western Culture has evolved to allow women to walk [...]
