Expect violence and blood by the bucketload, peppered with quick-fire dialogue and lashings of cinematic reference for good good measure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Another monumental event, this one, something fans of the series have been waiting for since the release of the disappointing prequels more than decade ago. This time however, all will be redeemed as JJ Abrams &#8211; the creator of television\u2019s <i>Lost<\/i> and the guy who spectacularly rebooted the Star Trek franchise &#8211; is at the creative helm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Set 30 years after <i>Return of the Jedi<\/i>, in a galaxy far, far away\u2026 <i>The Force Awakens <\/i>is a continuation of the original trilogy and sees remnants of the fallen Galactic Empire disrupt the peace established at the end of the last movie.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ngElkyQ6Rhs\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Box Office projections for <i>Star Wars<\/i> are insane, predicted to top Avatar (currently the highest-grossing movie of all time) and smash all sorts of records. Movie-goers and longtime fans everywhere will be eager to see how events play out in one of cinema\u2019s most beloved stories. But perhaps the biggest allure is the return of the original cast, including Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>007 James Bond: Spectre<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Slated for an October release, the latest Bond movie &#8211; and likely the penultimate in Daniel Craig\u2019s chronicling of the series &#8211; sees everything come full circle; with the secret agent on the cusp of retirement and the return of <i>Casino Royale\u2019s<\/i> illusive Mr.White, as well as the first appearance of shadowy criminal organisation Spectre.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7GqClqvlObY\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Other than the initial premise, not much else is known about this one. But with Christopher Waltz as the main protagonist and Sam Mendez returning to director\u2019s chair after his success with <i>SkyFall, <\/i>there&#8217;s plenty to get excited about.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer is officially over and the past few months has seen some awesome blockbusters with the likes of Jurassic World, Mad Max, Terminator Genysis, and the hilarious Ted 2.
