This year marks the 30th anniversary of Return Of The Jedi, the Ewok-filled amazingness that spelled the end of the original Star Wars trilogy. That film contained one of the most amazing high-speed chases ever seen on film. This is how they brought that death defying chase to life. Read More >>

If you haven't seen Iron Man 3 yet, here's a little clip to put you in the mood. Apparently all that alien bashing, with a God for a sidekick, was all a bit too much for poor Stark. Now he can't sleep. I feel ya Tony, I can't sleep either. But then, I don't have billions of pounds to spend on whatever I want and a suit that you can actually fly like Superman in. Get over it you big baby! Read More >>

You may have expected the first ever portable motion picture camera to be housed in some form of stuffy box — but in fact it was shaped like a rifle, which lends a new accuracy to the idea of shooting some film. Read More >>

It's one thing to make a giant, robotic Tyrannosaurus Rex. It's another thing entirely to make it look remotely real. Granted, a robo-rex is awesome in its own right, but it's just not quite the flavour of monster fit for a film like Jurassic Park. And so. it was practical effects to the rescue yet again with a carefully applied dino-skin. Read More >>

Supervillains are so consumed with being evil and doing bad things against humanity that they don't really have time to go dating. Sad, right? What should they do? Why go speed dating! World of Heroes imagined how supervillains like Darth Vader, Joker, Bane, Cobra Commander, Doctor Octopus and others would do on a speed dating run. Read More >>

Monsters Inc blew more than a few minds when it premiered in 2001. Sully's coat comprised a million rendered hairs, and Boo's oversized pink shirt moved with such a natural flow it appeared nearly life-like to audiences. And while advances in technology during the twelve years between the original film and the prequel—premiering in June—will provide another jaw-dropping visual experience, Monsters University was no less challenging to make.

There are still a lot of mysteries surrounding the next film in J.J. Abrams's reborn Star Trek series — including who exactly Benedict Cumberbatch is playing — but now we've got one more piece of the puzzle. It was briefly teased in the last trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness, but via the film's mobile app, we now have a great shot of the Dark Enterprise. Read More >>

Austrian photographer Reiner Riedler created his photo series 'The Unseen Seen' by snapping shots of the film reels of famous movies. They're drop dead gorgeous and somehow uniquely different from each other. It's like getting the feel for a movie from just looking at the combination of colors in its reel. I want to hang these photographs up as artwork. Read More >>

It's hard not to be won over by the charms of the original 2008 Iron Man movie. But it's possible—just possible—that you were so busy appreciating Marvel's whizzbang treatment and Robert Downey Jr.'s roguish charms that you missed these GIANT GLARING PROBLEMS. Read More >>

We've seen a small smidgen of this clip before in one of the Star Trek Into Darkness trailers, but it's a heck of a lot of a tighter squeeze than we realised. If only they'd fitted the thing with guns. Read More >>

Iron Man 3 is out in the UK on general release tomorrow, ahead of the US by some time too I might add, and while most of us haven't had a chance to see it yet, an important question has cropped up: Is it worth seeing Stark's latest epic, or any new movie for that matter, in 3D these days? Has 3D in the cinema died like it has at home? Read More >>

Do you know what the Empire's lacking? Women. Why were the Storm Troopers all blokes? Maybe it's because no one made them any, errr, decent costumes? How about these supposedly sexy Star Wars getups? Read More >>
