10 Best Star Wars Alien Races - Guest Post by Hrvoje

10 Best Star Wars Alien Races Star Wars is one of the rare science-fiction franchises that actually bothered to introduce a large chunk of its fictional universe, which – in this case – encompasses the whole known universe. Although we certainly haven’t seen the whole Star Wars universe, George Lucas and the other authors that have participated in the creation and development of the franchise have given us a solid look into the universe of Star Wars , into its different world and its races. In today’s article, we are going to be bringing you a list of the ten best alien (i.e., non-human) races in the fictional universe of Star Wars , so enjoy! 10. Bith The Bith race might not be the first to come to mind when you’re thinking Star Wars , but this race is actually quite famous and it is one of the “oldest” ones, as it was introduced in A New Hope . So, who are the Bith? Remember the iconic Mos Eisley Cantina scene and the jazz band? Well, the big-headed aliens who produce some me...

Top Ten Movies Where Steven Spielberg Is Credited As Producer by Dominic Holder

Hi folks and welcome to my latest top 10. I'm going a little bit left field and looking at the top 10 films where Spielberg hasn't directed but has been credited as Producer or Executive Producer. One of the attractions of Spielberg to me growing up, was even if he wasn't in the director's chair he seemed to be involved in the majority of films that I enjoyed growing up. With over 170 Production credits to his name, putting a Top 10 wasn't as easy as I thought it would be at first. I immediately discounted any that he had directed, and ignored the dozens currently on his announced slate on IMDB. I have also culled a few more by not looking at sequels, however, this still left me with a plethora of options. So I decided to go with the heart and not the head on this one, which means quality productions such as the Coen's True Grit are left off and also there is the omission of crowd favourites Innerspace and The Money Pit which would have been 11 and 12th res...

BLOG: Steven Spielberg's Top 10 crowd pleasing moments

Steven Spielberg's Top 10 crowd pleasing moments by Dominic Holder Following on from my recent blog about the most nerve shredding moments in Spielberg's back catalogue which you can read  here , I thought I would take a look at the moments that most fans of Spielberg look for in his films, moments where elation and rejoicing lead to punch the air instances, that allow the audience to give little cheers or even rapturous rounds of applause, even when you are watching it in your lounge alone. This top 10 is a mixture of individual shots, or carefully choreographed set pieces, but each one makes you thrilled to be watching and helps build the understanding that the main purpose of any film is to entertain. Quite frankly this could have been a Top 100 list (maybe I'll do that one day) but I have narrowed it down to the following 10. As always, there will be some of your favourites that I haven't included, but that is why God invented the comment function on blogs. I...

10 Tracks You Should Listen To During Rush Hour

From the world of movies and TV here are ten pieces of soundtrack music I think you should listen to during rush hour. So if you're in your car driving to work or walking through crowds of people block after block then the following music will fit the setting and help you beat the traffic. Just don't speed. The Chase, Hans Zimmer - The Rock Using his signature drum and base beat the track starts slow but builds into a frantic fast moving track that would be ideal moving between traffic. Just don't chase any Hummers through the streets of San Francisco. Rush Hour, Mark Macina - Speed Couldn't have a rush hour playlist without at least one from the movie Speed and its called Rush Hour. Like The Chase this uses a fast tempo and builds tension and brings a sense of urgency. Perfect if you are late for work. London Chase, Trevor Rabin - National Treasure 2 This has the fastest beat of the entries so far and is a perfect piece of music to go with a chase sc...
