'DESPICABLE ME'

ILLUMINATING THE WORLD.

15 years on since 'Despicable Me' launched onto our screens - and those bright yellow Minions aren't going anywhere. One thing that aided in its success was the gigantic marketing campaign for the film, and with each instalment, that only grew and grew. When a 'Despicable Me' or 'Minions' film releases, you can't leave your house without seeing a Minion invasion. The original film proves the power of a successful marketing campaign. Click here now to join Chris and head back to where it all began with 'Despicable Me'.

'BACK TO THE FUTURE'

BLASTING BACK.

It's been 40 years since 'Back to the Future' first flew onto our screens. If it taught us anything, it's that changing the past changes the future. It was once set to feature Jeff Goldblum, Ralph Macchio, and a fridge instead of the DeLorean... chances are 'BTTF' wouldn't have even seen a 'Top 100 Greatest Films of all time' list, let alone two more sequels. Yet two more sequels would eventuate, and the car that never should have existed became the car everyone wanted. To take a trip back (or maybe you prefer to blast into the future?) and look at what could have been as Jess revisits the incomparable 'Back to the Future'.

'APOLLO 13'

CELEBRATING THE SWEEPING SPACE EPIC.

It's 30 years since 'Apollo 13' first flew onto our screens. It's one of the prime examples of the romantic Hollywood cinema of the 90s. Both a critical and commercial success back in 1995, 'Apollo 13' is now considered something of a classic. It’s a sweeping epic centred around a true story of three men caught in the ultimate nightmare. Click here now to blast back in Daniel's retrospective review of 'Apollo 13'.

'POCAHONTAS'

THE COLOURS OF THE WIND ARE FADING.

As cultural depictions in films are being scrutinised more than ever, we come to the 30th anniversary of 'Pocahontas'. The film isn't necessarily a train wreck - it's more a cinematic misstep, but as more and more time passes, we look less kindly on it. The big question is - what did Disney learn from the failure of 'Pocahontas'? To join Chris as he travels back through Disney's films to celebrate 25 years of 'Pocahontas', click here now.

'WAR OF THE WORLDS'

SPIELBERG'S DARKEST NIGHTMARE.

We're celebrating 20 years since 'War of the Worlds' first hit our screens. All this time on, it has not lost one ounce of its power. This speaks to its incredible craft and unwavering convictions, but also because the collapse it depicts is a nightmare that has never gone away. Click here now as Daniel revisits Steven Spielberg's cinematic classic 'War of the Worlds'.
