Can Xenomorphs Get a Resur-erection? Ridley Scott Finally Reveals the Gender of His Alien Xenomorphs
In 2017, does gender really matter? Well, it seems that even back in 1979 it didn't matter either. #RidleyScott's #Alien famously brought the acid-blooded Xenomorphs into creation and has had us screaming into space ever since. However, if you have ever tried to lift the hind legs of Xeno to check its gender, you may know that it harder than expected.

Did Marvel Just Hint At A New Star Wars Anthology Film Between Ep 3 and Ep 4?
If there is one thing that we can all agree on it's that there are certain villains that deserve their stories to be told. There is just something incredibly visceral about some villains that we've been introduced through literature, comics, television and film. We love to hate them or perhaps it's more a matter of empathy as we witness their fall into the darkness.

Stella’s Choice
Chapter 1: Present days The church's bell chimed twelve times as I sat at the edge of the cliff with my knees drawn to my chest. The cascading light from the full moon in the sky enlightened the sight of the forest that was spread in front of me. A gush of wind flew by, swaying the trees back and forth as the leaves rustled.

Outrun Stories #31
“Turn it up, Billy! Turn it all the way up!” Lothar is screaming at me, and I’m jacking his HAR-D I.C.E as high as it can go.

Doctor Who: The Last Post Review
It's hard to believe that it's been over five years now since we lost Caroline John, the actress perhaps best known for playing Doctor Liz Shaw alongside Jon Pertwee's Third Doctor in Doctor Who's 1970 season. Yet despite appearing on the long-running series for a single season, fans never forgot the character and the actress returned to reprise the role numerous times on audio for Big Finish Productions in the years before her passing. The last story recorded before her passing, the appropriately titled The Last Post, stands as a tribute to character and actress alike.

Much has been written about positive thinking and The Secret's Law of Attraction. Similar concepts which, apparently if used correctly, can 'get you everything you want.' Far be it for me to play the sceptic, but is it really that simple? Or, as this film's title implies, are other forces at work, trying desperately to keep us on that pre-determined straight and narrow?
