34k 10 From the original 80's arcade game to the role playing masterpieces of today. These are the top 10 best Star Wars video games of all time. While I take some reviewers views into account, this is definitely a personal preference list. I've played each game listed, including that arcade classic, I was six she was an Amstrad CPC, I still have that system... 1 ReRank 2 See list ranked byThere are literally thousands of films out there that were made using LEGOs, often termed “brickfilms,” and that number is only sure to grow following the release of The LEGO Movie. A simple Google search or a few clicks around YouTube can yield hours of results, created by amateurs as well as exclusively brick-filmmaking studios. Here are a few of our favorites: 1. Fell In Love With A Girl Who can forget Michel Gondry’s groundbreaking White Stripes’ music video for “Fell in Love With a Girl?” Even more than 10 years later, this short film is still a stunning piece of brick art, and unique in that it uses the actual bricks themselves as the characters bodies, rather than using the more common method of filming the LEGO figures themselves.
2. Monty Python and the Holy Grail in LEGO Many of the most timeless cult classic films have been covered in LEGO, but few done so well as this scene from Monty Python by Spite Your Face Productions. This short was included on the Monty Python and the Holy Grail Deluxe Edition DVD. 3. Henri & Edmond – Le Nouveau Voisin (Henri & Edmond – The New Neighbor) The Henri & Edmond short films, by French director Maxime Marion, are arguably the most cinematic LEGO movies out there, while still maintaining a distinctly French feel. The shots, fades, lighting and effects are clean and professional, while the score and quirky dialogue keep the plot moving. In a perfect world, there would be an entire series of Henri & Edmond shorts or even a feature film from these filmmakers. The Dandelion is a funny little short from Daniel Utecht and Plastic Planet Productions. It is a great example of how simple stories done well can outshine projects with more manpower, or in this case, LEGO power, behind them.
5. En rejse til manen (Journey to the Moon) The first known “brickfilm” ever made, En rejse til manen (Journey to the Moon) was created in 1973 by Danish filmmakers Lars C. Hassing and Henrik Hassing. The silent short was filmed on Super 8 film and was only released to the public in 2013 on YouTube. This short is innovative for its day and fun to watch, particularly when considering the primitive LEGOs with which the creators had to work. Lego Shopping was one of the most innovative brickfilms of those listed in terms of utilizing the actual bricks for the effects. The story was laugh-out-loud funny as well, which kept this short a head above many, many others out there. Here is a music video for The Who’s classic “My Generation” that uses the actual LEGO figures, and not much else. However, the editing and continuity are good and the stop-motion very smooth, which really holds the film together. More than that, the mini plastic band vents their frustrations at the end, making for an especially good chuckle.
Who knew these little smiling gents could be so badass? 8. Lego Who Would Win in a Fight? While the sound and dialogue in this LEGO short are not the best, the actual stop-motion and the premise of the film are spot on. Add to that this is merely one of over a dozen Hobbit/Lord of the Rings shorts (second favorite being “The Hobbit Shake” a Harlem Shake Video) created by talented 13 year-old Gabriel Clifft. 9. Lego Operating Room: Special Delivery Sometimes corny is the best kind of humor and using Legos as the medium of choice just seems to fit the bill. 10. LEGO Ninjago Green Ninja Ice Cream Filmmaker “Monsieur Caron” seems to be one of the more prolific brickfilm-makers in a growing industry. The action sequence in this simple short film is exemplary of the medium’s versatility and fun.The Best Muppet Show Beatles Covers One of the great disapointments in life is that no member of the Beatles ever appeared on the Muppet Show. The band had been broken up for six years or so by the time the Muppet Show came about, but I would have loved to see episodes starring each member.
Well, I could have done without a Ringo episode, but still. Paul McCartney’s affinity for vaudeville would have been a perfect match for the show, but he would only agree to go on if he could bring the rest of Wings with him. Apparently, the producers couldn’t swing that, and now we’re left with no Muppet/Beatles crossovers. All is not lost, however, because the Muppets still covered their fair share of Beatles songs. So without further ado, here are the best Muppet Beatles cover songs. With a Little Help From My Friends I’m Looking Through You While My Guitar Gently Weeps I could totally listen to albums by Jerry Nelson’s Floyd character. Ok, not technically a Beatles song, but they had a pretty popular version of the song. And for good measure, here’s the Sesame Street Let it Be spoof that almost cost CTW $5.5 million.Sean Spicer’s tragic fall from grace as White House Easter Bunny Iowa Republican pushing education reform got his degree from Sizzler

Watch the clip for yourself down below: There is a lot of Star Wars projects in various stages of production these days. Not only are there films like The Last Jedi, the Han Solo film, and Episode IX, and animated series like Star Wars Rebels, but also countless books, comics, and video games. Most of these projects remain shrouded in secret, but we may have just learned the title of an upcoming Star Wars release. Our friends over at The Star Wars Post noticed today that Lucasfilm has trademarked the title Star Wars: Rivals. It appears this is the title for an upcoming video game. Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance The ultimate aim of the game is to work with with the Rebel Alliance and uncover information about the Empire's second Death Star project. In this new era of Star Wars films, the new Star Wars filmmakers have been making use of the IMAX cameras to shoot specific sequences for their films. JJ Abrams shot the Millinnium Falcon's escape from Jakku in The Force Awakens with IMAX cameras and now it's been announced that Rian Johnson shot scenes from the upcoming Star Wars: The Last Jedi with the high resolution cameras.
This comes from and announcement by Disney and IMAX that they are extending their longstanding deal through 2019. While it may seem on the surface that, given that The Last Jedi picks up immediately when The Force Awakens left off, the state of galaxy may not have changed when the next instalment in the Skywalker saga picks up. However, there are some major questions about the political state of the galaxy that were left unaddressed in The Force Awakens--specifically relating the destruction of the Hosnian System by Starkiller Base. Our friends over at MakingStarWars.net may have some answers to those questions. As always, there is a chance this may be true but, if you are trying to avoid all The Last Jedi spoilers then stop reading now. The 'Magic of Myth' museum tour opened in Minneapolis, MN.
