To say the corporation that George Lucas founded as a way to realize his artistic vision forever altered popular culture is akin to understating the heat of the sun. Indeed, it is incomprehensible to think of a world without Lucasfilm and the wonders it has given us over the course of the past half century.  What initially began as a way for Lucas to pursue his creativity outside of the auspices of the Hollywood machine is a fascinating story in…

Sherlock 10th Anniversary: Behind the Scenes Set Secrets

New DVD release, , , ,
Two chairs. A fireplace. 17 steps leading up from the ground floor. On the mantelpiece, letters pierced by a knife, cigars hidden in a coal scuttle and tobacco concealed inside the toe of a Persian slipper… Sir Arthur Conan Doyle provided a few compass points from which set designers on screen adaptations of his Sherlock Holmes stories could work when creating their 221B Baker Street.

New DVD release, , , ,
I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since the first X-Men movie.

Like the 25th anniversary special, which was one of the very first…
