George Lucas Is Happier With 'Rogue One' Than He Was With 'The Force Awakens', But Does His Opinion Still Matter?
In 1977, the world was gripped by the launch of a whole new science-fiction/fantasy franchise: Star Wars! In the decades since, that franchise has become a cinematic juggernaut, and in 2012 its creator, George Lucas, chose to sell it over to #Disney. The result has been the relaunch of the Star Wars franchise, with a best-selling range of comics and novels, the blockbuster hit #TheForceAwakens, and the unique spin-off #RogueOne.

The New 'Ghostbusters' Might Not Be A Reboot After All!
Ghostbusters premiered in the US over the weekend, and - while it failed to take the Box Office top slot - it did make $46 million. Given the amount of controversy surrounding the film, that's pretty respectable. A key part of the controversy is the very fact that director Paul Feig chose to do a reboot rather than a 'passing-of-the-torch'; incredibly, this led to one YouTuber posting a 'no-review', a six-and-a-half minute video explaining why he was refusing to review the film!

J.K. Rowling Confirms We'll See Dumbledore & Grindelwald In The Fantastic Beasts Series!
Essentially a Harry Potter prequel, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is sure to be one of this year's biggest box office hits. J. K. Rowling has admitted she has plans for at least four sequels, meaning that Fantastic Beasts will launch an entirely new wizarding franchise, filling the hole Harry Potter left in all of our hearts. Over the weekend, though, we learned that Rowling's plans will gradually move the story of Eddie Redmayne's Newt Scamander to the center of some of the darkest events of the twentieth century — and that we'll see a very familiar character!

Why Has 'Ghostbusters' Been So Controversial?
The 2016 Ghostbusters reboot has been one of the most controversial movies of all time - even before anybody saw it! Today, I had the chance to see the film, and - as a fan of the originals, who rewatched those classics just yesterday - I have news for you: I loved it. All of this leaves me asking one single awkward question: why has the film been so very, very controversial?

Wonder Review
Shorter days, cooler weather, and holiday tunes over the radio inevitably announce the arrival of the season of feel-good. Hallmark drops sappy romance twenty-four hours a day and a slate of new family-friendly blockbusters does battle across blinking marquees with stories of family, love, and triumphs of the human spirit. In the feeding frenzy at the Disney/Rom-Com buffet, it can be difficult to choose between high octane action, soaring emotions, and camp-filled comedies. Studios know this, and the airwaves are inundated with previews and ads for the holiday movie selection. Because of this, it is borderline astounding when a movie can sneak onto the end of the now showing list with little fanfare or warning. Wonder, a film about a genetically disfigured young boy who has come of age and must strike out into the world of traditional schooling, came to my attention through a prime-time TV spot. According to my notes, only one of the nine films I had seen leading up to this had included a preview for Wonder. Between the generic trailer and sparse marketing strategy, one could be forgiven for missing the release of the film altogether.

Everything We Know About the Villains of Doctor Strange!
With Doctor Strange due out in just under two months, there's still a lot we don't know. Although this film is going to be an origin story, #Marvel has kept details of the movie under wraps; it was only in July that we even got the name of Mads Mikkelsen's character, for example, while Rachel McAdams's role in the plot is still enigmatic. However, over the past few months, we've been given crumbs of information that have helped us build a picture of the villainous presences we'll encounter in this next #MCU blockbuster. Without further ado, then, here are the villains we know about - and the villains who've been hinted at...

This November, the Sorcerer Supreme will be revealed to the world as Doctor Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts! In Marvel's fourteenth movie to date, we're going to see an origin story, in which renowned neurosurgeon Stephen Strange falls from grace, before rising higher than he's ever done before.

One of the greatest mysteries has been the role of Rachel McAdams's character - but I might just have unravelled it...
