Labyrinth Star David Bowie Dies Age 69

Sad news as we learn this morning that music legend and star of Labyrinth, David Bowie has died at the age of 69.  He has been battling cancer for the last 18 months. His son director Duncan Jones confirmed the news and a statement was released on his official social media accounts. "David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18-month battle with cancer," it said. "While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family's privacy during their time of grief." Bowie will of course be remembered for his impressive music career with songs like Let's Dance, Life on Mars and Space Oddity.  Movie fans of a certain age will of course remember David Bowie as Jareth the Goblin King in the Jim Henson directed Labyrinth (1986.)  The movie saw Bowie dance and sing including Dance Magic. A man with great talent, he will be missed. Rob @thebeardedtrio The Bearded Trio - The Site For Ste

10 Facts About Steven Spielberg's The Terminal

From Viktor Navorski's home nation of Krakozhia to New York.  Here's 10 facts on Steven Spielberg's The Terminal Steven Spielberg's 2004 masterpiece, The Terminal often and unfortunately gets overlooked but the movie is a wonderful, feel-good movie with some incredible performances.  Tom Hanks plays Viktor Navorski who becomes trapped in New York City's JFK International Airport terminal when he is denied entry into the United States and at the same time cannot return to his native country (Krakozhia) due to a revolution.  He adjusts to life inside the airport and inspires everyone around him.  With a wonderful soundtrack by John Williams, it's a movie that should be given more appreciation.  Here's ten facts about the movie to whet your appetite. 1 - The story is based on a real person.

I'm Rey...On The Inside

Okay folks it is now two and half weeks since the release of Star Wars : Episode VII The Force Awakens . So if you haven’t seen the film yet then “move along, move along”. There are so many topics I could discuss about this movie, but I’m going to narrow it down to Rey’s character. Not exactly a small subject I know, but I’m going to take a more personal view. My own thoughts about her and my connection to her (no I’m not related to her either). When I look at Rey I see resilience. I see a girl who believes she belongs on Jakku, even though deep down she knows she’s destined for something greater. She only “belongs” there because she believes her family will return for her…someday. I have my own theory on who Rey’s parents are based on what Maz Kanata said. I’m paraphrasing when I say Maz tells Rey her family will never return, she tells Rey this after Maz asks Han “who’s the girl?” Obviously Han tells Maz something about Rey’s parents. Did Kylo Ren kill Rey’s parents? T

Review of Star Wars Before The Awakening by Greg Rucka

Review of Star Wars Before The Awakening by Greg Rucka This young adult anthology of short stories about Finn, Rey and Poe in the ‘days, weeks, and months before The Force Awakens’ .  Each of these stories are geared for younglings between the ages of 8 to 12.  However, long time fans of Star Wars will find each of these stories to be a good addition to what they know about these characters from the film. Do not let the fact that it is geared for younger readers stop you from purchasing this well written series of stories.  Each of these stories each have something to contribute to the overall Star Wars saga. Finn’s story goes behind the scenes of his training and the doubts that plague him during this training.  This story will remind long time Star Wars fans of episodes of The Clone Wars. Rey’s story will give you a better understanding of her life on Jakku and her mechanical abilities.  In addition, it gives you some background on how she learned to fly. Po
