I posted the trailer for Rosa back in September. Thanks to Dave for pointing out that the full animated short is now ready to watch. ROSA is an epic sci-fi short film that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where all natural life has disappeared. From the destruction awakes Rosa, a cyborg deployed from the Kernel project, mankind’s last attempt to...

Put simply, I loved Arthur Christmas. Now I’m happy to admit that deep down I’m a big kid. I still love going into toyshops and I’m almost 40, I was even a little disappointed the first time my son turned down the opportunity to visit one, I no longer had an excuse to go, but soon got over that.

In a recent interview he confirmed that he was the mysterious man. Yeah, it’s one of the most humiliating garments that exists in the known universe, yes....

George Lucas got a lot of flack when he released the Star Wars: Special Editions. The changes he made were not all for the best and with the release of Star Wars on Blu-ray he has been up to his old tricks. Don’t worry though as he has been waving his CG stick over Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. In particular he has replaced the deformed Yoda puppet for...
